Not the best summer ever…
First, June, my brother David died. June was kind of a rough month. Then, July...as I pulled into the Aldi parking lot on July 1st I got a call from one of my doctor's offices, saying they'd called my insurance to get approval for an MRI later in July. The insurance company told them that our insurance had been terminated. WTF?! Surely, an error. I called the insurance company, they said that had to talk to the policy holder, which was Kevin.

Once more, David

Writing about May in May
Gee, that makes me feel incredibly efficient. Here's me, enjoying a mock mojito at the delicious restaurant Loukenin's on the first of May. We went there because the restaurant was shutting down on...
Wrapping up April
Kevin dedicates a good portion of his time to keeping the cats in their respective outside areas. He finally thwarted Lester from escaping the fenced yard (but probably only temporarily), and...
April, mostly cats plus a minor explosion
Gee, I'm really on a roll with getting stuff up here for a change. Or course that can and probably will come screeching to a halt again because that's how I roll. Rolling, but only occasionally and...
March!
Sometimes Kevin and I go to Mom's house to watch TV, but mostly to hang out with Pumpkin who loves Kevin best of all. We celebrated Mom's birthday in March and she got these two mugs, among many...
