We headed out across the lake. This cabin is on the island. It’s a cool place, but we’ve never seen anyone there. Plus, it would be such a nusiance to have to ferry everything over every time. But it’s pretty and kind of wild and intriguing. Mostly perch were caught. Cranes? Not sure. One […]

Colors are starting to change. A few cold nights, another couple weeks, it’ll look completely different. The air was sharp and the colors of the sky and lake and everything else seemed to be too. love, Val

These pictures were taken in the conservatory. Koi Did a fish touch your finger, p.j.? The wedding chapel always make me think of our niece. She was married here a few years ago. This is a group of kids similar to the header on this blog. The little one in the pink coat is now

So first of all, could not figure out why the pictures were red. What setting was inadvertently chosen that did THIS? Fixed it. Thank goodness. Here they’re working on writing. Getting Tim writing is a goal for this year. Last year it was getting him reading, which he now does, but writing takes
