An updated site!
The wonderful Gary update my site so that things work properly. Now if I was just working properly...I started feeling sick Sunday night and today the cough has started. I'm hoping it won't continue and get out of control. This is the first time I've been sick since 2019, except for Covid. Here's us having fun on the lake on September 2nd. Kevin didn't go with us on the boat because poor little Marley had started to decline and he wanted to be with her. We took the boat out of the water on Sunday which is always a little sad. I'm pretty sure that this year I went on the boat less than any...

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....
Boating Adventures

July,
as the summer marches on...first, July 1st when the power was out, Pumpkin was thoroughly enjoying the cat grass that Kevin planted. Such a happy boy! Later that day a family of raccoons showed up....
Kitties and smoke in June
Here's Lester, always so happy to pose for a photo. Lovey and Riley. Poor Lovey has been pulling out her hair because she's allergic to something. I can't comfort her because she continues to be...
Electrified
The funny thing is, it was challenging to write that last post while we had no power because I had to do it on my ipad. I finally finished it at about 7:50 in the evening and proceeded to water the...
One more Very Important thing
This is what I forgot to post- through all of this, feeling crazy and stumbling around in the dark and everything, Kevin has been a rockstar. Calm and cool and keeping the generator running and just...
Powerless
At about noon last Thursday, June 29th, the emergency sirens went off. We immediately began herding cats, always a thrilling event. The rain started coming down and we didn’t have time to look out...
