My friend Renee is a fairly talented photographer and she took so many pictures while she was here, of trees and plants and things around this house like the doorknobs and clutter and trinkets, and then last was this one. I laughed right out loud. That’s me conducting some kind of real estate business the […]
We went out to Stillwater in the afternoon, to the apple orchard. This is the hay bale maze. It’s hot in there and smells wonderful. It was about 80 degrees of bright sunshine, just a perfect day. When we arrived, Jay said he hasn’t been there before, and what do we do? Well, it’s a very laid
Yes, I got roped into this at Costco. Julia had half the money saved. These are all the Legos Tim says are in need of repair. I think we should put up some shelves down here for them. Anyway, when we brought this thing home I teased Tim, “I know how much you LOVE princesses.” He

Here’s their pretty house. We took the dog for a walk, can’t tell we’re 1000 miles from home. Looks the same. The dog was hit by a car last January when he was just a baby and after surgery where lots of pins were put in to hold him together, he’s well now. He runs
There are two banks of falls at Niagara Falls. This is the American Falls. This is the Horseshoe Falls, the one everyone thinks of. The river flows south to north which is disorienting, for some reason. Those are two of Renee’s kids on the left. Anyway, I’m up here in the bedroom, and I can

Here are some random pictures of this gecko who eats crickets as his main source of nutrition. His name is Philippe, if you’ve forgotten. The turtle is Bernie.
