Posted on Sunday, August 23, 2026 by Paul

Today we celebrate the birth of our good friend Bob Zaitz, who is turning 80, and that is fortunate because it is also his IQ.  We were supposed to pick up the decorations at his house at 10:00 am, but … Continue reading →

7:30 am, and we are out and about fighting our worst enemies, overgrowth and weeds! The corn was done for this year, but we found an additional nine ears, which we will snack on for the rest of the day … Continue reading →

Another Busy Day!

Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2026 by Paul

I am still reeling from the phone call yesterday with my college roomie! That was sixty years ago, and he is doing just fine living in Encinitas. In college, on fraternity row, we had a “Chariot Race.” All the fraternities … Continue reading →

Posted on Sunday, August 16, 2026 by Paul

Today we look back in history! Yes, today is the day we go shopping for a car we can’t afford!  A new Cadillac or a new Lexus?  Perhaps a Mercedes?  Nope, we are looking for a 1955 Packhard Caribbean! The … Continue reading →

It Is Saturday And We Are At Work Bright And Early.

Posted on Saturday, August 8, 2026 by Paul

It’s 9:00 am, and we are outside working our little fingers to the bone! I marched into the veggie garden at dawn (OK, 9 am) carrying a zucchini seedling like it was a royal baby.  Mary, meanwhile, stood beside her … Continue reading →

Hello Garden, Here We Come!!

Posted on Thursday, August 6, 2026 by Paul

We got up early and headed to the Vet because it was time for Grace’s checkup, nail trim, and a precautionary de-fleaing—just in case she’d picked up any tiny freeloaders during her two-week “outdoor retreat.” Getting her into the carrier … Continue reading →

Another Wonderful Day In The Neighborhood!

It is Friday! After last night’s high-stakes wildlife drama — also known as “successfully trapping the wrong cat” — I completely forgot today was trash pickup day. By the time I remembered, I was already burrito-wrapped in my blankie, and … Continue reading →

The Weekend Is Coming, Beware!

Posted on Thursday, July 23, 2026 by Paul

Finally, time to relax!  We were up and moving around 7:00 am because apparently ‘relaxing’ now requires an early start and a schedule.  Our big plan was to head to the Elks for Girls Night Out, which is coming up … Continue reading →
