It has to be a nuthouse, because we’re officially going nuts.  We’re retired… yet we’re still up at 6:00 am, as if we must report for duty and somehow there’s still “just a little work” to do all day long.  … Continue reading →

Midweek activities began early today.  The wind last night was horrible, but it had some benefits: the house stayed “warm,” and I did NOT freeze when I got up at 6:30 am.   The wind chimes were going all night long, … Continue reading →
