This started yesterday and went on all night and is expected to continue through Thursday. Is this necessary? Definitely not, but nothing can be done about it except adjust. Here’s the village set up in my room where I sat at the computer working on continuing ed classes while they FOUGHT and ARGUED. Tears were shed. There […]
We made it to the cabin today to turn on the water and get summer started. The power company cut down some trees, so things looked odd to us. The swamp is full–and it was getting noisy even by 4:30 when we left. We turned on the heat, but the house never did fully warm
It’s been a quiet week so far, working a lot. These guys were here yesterday. I guess that cute one puked on Monday once, which made him ineligible for daycare. He’s eligible here. Nobody puked. Everyone was fine. We even got outside in the yard for a while. The yard looks tough, but this week’s
Here is Julia in the same dress she wore last year, the one specifically chosen for its stretchiness for jumping on Pam’s trampoline. Last year the trampoline was trapped in a snowbank. This year the well at their fine home is not working properly so the party was relocated to the parents’ house. But this
This beautiful baby, our youngest grandchild, is turning two. There was a feast and celebration. Dannell generously asked me to bake a cake. Fancy cakes from the store are wonderful, and I like those too. But it feels like an honor to bake a cake for someone I love. These little boys are too much.

Nothing to report of any importance, no surprises there. But the sun was warm and we were inspired to get the patio furniture out. These two ate hot dogs outside in the sun. In other news, the candy for the Easter pinata has been purchased and installed. As I was putting the candy into the
National sibling day, what a great idea. It’s late, but a lot of random clicking on files on an external drive–this could go on all night. That’s Dan, Heidi, and John above, and John’s kids below: Dan’s and Alicia’s kids: Dan, James, and John: The oldest son and the youngest son: That card Lydia made
We had the big party on Saturday, so just a little tiny one yesterday. It was fun. Here’s the gecko, doing well. There he is, tiny and sweet. And here’s Lydia–we had cheesecake because she loves it. Kari, Kari, Kari. Karinka Doodle, mine baby Schnoodle–here you are getting so grown up. Next year: SCHOOOOL!! Exciting. I
