It was very dark and hard to see. But not inside. These guys were doing their usual chair rides. Working the other chair: Here’s John, trusty dog in hand. Jay cut a new trail into the woods. They were enthusiastic. This beautiful urchin was hanging from my pants leg. And this one was with his […]
We drove to see my grandma, who is doing well. It was a fun visit, though I forgot to take a single picture. Back at the lake later, here’s Jimmy done digging in the fridge. And Little Jay, attacking the apple bread. She’s putting together the new coffee pot. The one that came with the
