The Weekend Has Started Out Beautifully!!!

Posted on Saturday, April 19, 2025 by Paul

Tuesday And Spring Has Gone Away; Winter Is Back! Tax Day!

Posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 by Paul

Today, the calendar is as clear as my brain before I’ve had coffee, except for Mary’s painting class! We got off to a slow start; I think we moved slower than paint drying on a rainy day! I officially hate … Continue reading →

We Are Having Our Mid-Week Crisis!

Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2025 by Paul

We go to the gym with our first-aid kits and handwritten 3×5 cards with “If Found, Please Call 555-55-5555 or 911” printed clearly. After the 90-minute workout, we are often in a daze and wander around the parking lot looking … Continue reading →

Posted on Wednesday, March 5, 2025 by Paul

5:35 am, our internal clocks went off, and we popped up, made our way to the coffee pot, and began our heart beating. As I walked back towards our office, the noises made me think about growing up, so I … Continue reading →

It’s Monday and time to go to work!  While Dr. Mary was getting ready for the gym, I looked up some healthy meals to make this week, and the pan-roasted salmon looked great!  We prefer wild-caught salmon, which is usually … Continue reading →
