We Are Glad WGND Was Yesterday, The High Today Is Only 69!

Posted on Sunday, May 3, 2026 by Paul

We were up and had coffee by 8:00 am, then recounted yesterday’s activities.  Mary reviewed the pictures to make sure they were not overexposed (if you catch my drift)! I forgot to mention that in college, I had a job … Continue reading →

Rain or No Rain, That Is The Question!

Posted on Saturday, April 25, 2026 by Paul

It’s 8:00 am on Saturday, we’re up, caffeinated, and pretending we’re the kind of people who get a lot done before noon.  So far, the garden is scheduled to eat most of the day, and then we’ll reward ourselves by … Continue reading →

It’s Ouchday… We Started Peak Performance

Posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 by Paul

What is Ouchday, you ask?  It’s the day—or days—we head to the gym for a little thing called a “workout.” I prefer to call it a sweat session, muscle mayhem, cardio catastrophe, or a full-blown pain parade. Today, I drew … Continue reading →

We Be Recovered!

Posted on Sunday, April 19, 2026 by Paul

We were up at 8:00 am, fueled by coffee and questionable optimism, and headed back out to the front yard.  Mary battled her roses with the precision of a seasoned horticulturalist.  At the same time, I heroically buried about half … Continue reading →

Today is a mixed bag.  We are going to meet with Mary’s financial advisor and then go to lunch with them!  After lunch, it’s back to the grind. Our landscape gardener will be asked to install fiberglass borders around the … Continue reading →

Off To The Elks We Go!

Posted on Thursday, April 16, 2026 by Paul

I was up with the rest of the roosters this morning, leaving her nibs sleeping soundly.  I fished the daily diary from yesterday out just before Mary appeared in the office.  We hugged and drew straws as to who would … Continue reading →

Mid Week And We Are Weak!

Posted on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 by Paul

We needed all the energy we could muster because it’s that dreaded Wednesday, which means we must go to the workout and be torn to shreds by the evil trainer.  I shudder at the thought of having to hear 90 … Continue reading →

Are We Having Fun Yet?

Posted on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 by Paul

When we got up, I made coffee so Mary could get to work on her finances.  Her credit card was compromised, so she had to change the numbers on all her accounts.  As she was performing these operations, I heard … Continue reading →

As soon as I got up, I called the Finchs (Brian and Jan), who live in London, eight hours ahead of us, and told them they were about to have guests.  Robin and Bob plan to visit with them during … Continue reading →
