The State Fair, Part One

Goodbye, Sweet Little Marley
Sweet and very tiny little Marley left us yesterday morning at 5:25. She'd been losing weight for a couple of weeks; she was only four pounds to begin with, and she got so thin that I could feel the...
Different August Things
For one thing, I was looking at my site and it suddenly dawned on me that the banner currently reads "Spring 2023." Oh boy. Slightly falling behind in literally all things... So I fixed that. Yay,...
Paddle Boarding Fun
Our friend Amy has a very cool paddle board, and we store it under our deck for her. Isn't it cool? I've seen some paddle boards around the lake but they're usually just boring and one single color....
