May ended in a frenzy of Spot-Related things.

So much has happened. First, here’s a photo of maybe 30 goslings. Don’t think I’ve ever seen this many at once. On May 20th Spot and I sat down on the dock and then climbed aboard Kevin’s sailboat. He was very happy. I haven’t mentioned...

Happy Birthday to Me.

Kevin and I went to see the movie “The Fall Guy” this afternoon and it was quite entertaining. We had no idea that it was pouring down rain outside and more rain and flooding is forecast. We’re cancelling the birthday dinner for tonight which is fine...

Garage Sale Mania

Or is it more accurate to say Garage Sale Frenzy? I wrote this on May 4th but then didn’t post it and now the mania has subsided. From May 4th: Randy has been talking about having a garage sale for a year, we were going to have one last year but it didn’t...

April, Mostly Cats

I know I spend too much time feeling bad for Pumpkin who lives all alone upstairs. I have been bringing him down for short periods of time, when everybody else is in the back of the house, and I do go up there three times a day and spend time with him. Kevin joins me...

Boat Launch!

We launched my boat on April 9th which seemed very early, but Mom looked it up in her journal and says that last year we put it in on April 10th. We didn’t go on the boat much last year, though, and things are going to be different this year. I tried looking up...

Happy Spring!

Even though it’s suddenly chilly out there that’s OK because things are green and soon it’ll be warm. The other day when it was a little warmer but not too warm I did yoga out in the fenced yard which was very enjoyable. The ground is amazingly...

March…

…and we’re already into April. How do I never have time to just sit at my laptop, typing in stuff? I must make more time for this. I don’t know how. Eventually, maybe, I’ll figure it out. Meanwhile…way back at the beginning of March we...

More in February as March wraps up…

How how how did it get to be the last week of March? It’s because no matter what, time keeps marching on. Here’s Les on Feb. 16th as a deer approaches the feeder. The next day the deer was right up at the feeder as Les looked on. On Feb 21st the snow was...

February Mostly Cats

First of all, let me just say that right at this moment, 3:00 on a sunny and very windy March afternoon…it’s 72 degrees outside! So this’ll be quick because I need to go right out and enjoy the beautiful day. Anyway, many kitty photos in February,...

Happy Birthday Mom!

Mom is 88 today, and she’s doing phenomenally. We have no warm weather trips this year, but we did get up to Chicago in January to see Randy Rainbow, https://www.randyrainbow.com, a very funny fellow who posts many funny and well-executed videos on youtube. We...

January Cats

January – well, it’s over. We had some bitterly bitter cold and I ended up in the ER for a record-breaking third time. It was because of the high heart rate with Afib again, but then I got to see a new Electrophysiologist last week, is a heart doctor who...

Bitter cold plus other stuff

First of all – the Sunday before Xmas Mom came down with a “cold.” She came to our house the Thurs. evening before Xmas and coughed a whole lot. On the 23rd, Kevin was suddenly sick with her “cold.” I did my best to keep my distance, and...

Wrapping up 2023

Here’s a lamp I bought at the Union Square Christmas market. The seller claimed it’s made in Indonesia, and hopefully that’s true and it wasn’t made by Chines slave laborer children. Kevin took this beautiful sunrise picture while I was gone....

Ending our trip with a Bang

After racing through the Met I wanted to walk through Central Park for a bit. I knew Mom wouldn’t be up for much of it but at least we got to walk for a while. Many festive horse and carriages were trotting around; I think maybe they were $7/minute? Maybe...

The Met

Thursday Dec. 14th, we took the subway to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I’d bought tickets online at the last minute in our hotel room and was glad we didn’t have to wait in that line. The coat check line was long enough. So many people there, always....
