very dangerous
This thing caught on fire in a customer’s house, could have been a disaster. Then the battery exploded. Nobody was hurt, nothing bad happened, very grateful. Love, Val

a great weekend
We went to Jay’s parents for the day, enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by his mom, who has always been a fantastic cook and his dad was fun too, pictured above with our niece who is now a full-grown Spanish teacher. Dan and Alicia and their kids came too, and instead of driving home Saturday
oh my goodness, his leg
He went to the doctor three times before they sorted it out. The first was urgent care who told him he had too many vague symptoms and to go away. Fever? Rash? Ever heard of that? They told him to come back tomorrow. Nah. I’ll go to my own doctor. He did, and was given

happy birthday, buddy
January 26. Yep. It’s your day. It’s about the time of the year when the days feel like they’re starting to get longer again, less darkness. Plus, two years ago this little darling turned up to make the day ever special. Heidi and Joe came over with cake, knowing I was working, so you would

heading north
We went to Jay’s parents for the day. It’s turned to winter in the hours we drove north. Winter is pretty. I like looking at winter. Being in it? Yeah, well. This was quickly corrected with a shovel and some sand. As was this: Moving to an alternate entrance due to the hazard of this
