So this is lost. It’s an old milk bottle from the town where our cabin is and last year I put those three very lovely fake flowers in it and enjoyed this decoration. Now I can’t find it. I have searched closets high and low–the closets on the second floor, the Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations […]
ok, lost, and a fun night anyway Read More »
Tonight, between work calls, I ran around and rid the place of Valentine’s Day and brought out the March decorations. I know it doesn’t mean anything, and perhaps the decorations are corny and ridiculous, but that’s how it is. Yeah. Was trying to think of something to say about that, but no. Just done. Not

There she is, working it, wearing her rain boots. She loves this thing, even takes it up to her bedroom to work on the rug up there. It doesn’t work on carpeting, but it sounds impressive, roaring away. And this–spring is so close. The days are longer, the sun is bright, this week the air

She was so excited to leave the house and go in the car–looking out the windows, sniffing the breeze. And then she realized where we were and she was not getting out of this car. Nope. She flattened herself to the seat and even tried a little growl at us. So we went around
There you go–the only picture I’ve taken all week. It was our anniversary and we picked up dinner for all of us at a local restaurant. But there are no Valentine’s pictures. It’s pretty quiet around here a year into this pandemic. Dinner was nice, kids were surprised and happy. Onward. Love, Val
So beautiful–got to spend your day with your family, playing basketball, playing video games online with your cousins all morning. What a great day. Went looking for a few old pictures of you, pretty, pretty baby. And now a handsome guy, wow. How much fun we’ve had these last twelve years. You are awesome
He went up there for a Lake meeting and stayed at the cabin overnight. The cabin is winterized, but he could turn the heat on. Except we have some kind of off-peak system so the heat kept spontaneously cutting out. It was a long, cold night, sleeping in all his snow gear and boots in
