Fall!
So...things are all right. I opened up my laptop again after a hiatus, so that's something. Plus I'm cancer-free! So that's something else. Almost three weeks of not doing much of anything. Kevin and i did take a couple of short walks on Friday and they went pretty well but right now it's much too hot out to do any walking. Maybe tomorrow, if I wake up in time. I'm still napping mostly every day. We went to the Route 66 Car Show on Saturday for a while and it was pretty hot and we walked a fair amount. I stopped every now and again and i sat down and rested for a while, and when we got home...

Putting boats away, way back in November
We kept our boats in the water longer than we'd ever done and didn't start taking them out til Monday November 8th. We'd taken all the boats to the fairgrounds in New Berlin to be stored, but last...
More hiking at Starved Rock
After breakfast at the lodge we headed out for another hike, but first I took a picture of these incredibly cute elf bushes. Such a clever idea, I bet I could do that next year but there's little...

Hiking at Starved Rock
After lunch in the dining room, we headed out for St. Louis Canyon at Starved Rock at about 2:30 in the afternoon. It was cold, in the 20s, but the sun was shining which was great. It was funny to...
A very short trip
On December 8th we spent the night at Starved Rock State Park. Just one night, but it was incredible to get out of town, something we hadn't done since our trip to Glacier in September of 2019....
Oh
Boy. Re: the new year, no postings, lack of sleep, etc etc etc. When I finally opened my laptop this morning to possibly write a new post, I looked at the latest one and realized that the banner...
The Mystery of the Missing Gift Bags
First of all...I have no business sitting here on the couch but I'm trying to give myself a break. The most important thing is that Kevin somehow managed to get everything on the porch plugged in so...
Six More Days…
Yeah. Six. Not many. I woke up earlier than I wanted to this morning because my mind was exploding a little bit about all the stuff I have to get done this week. I've been blearily sitting here on...
Countdown to Christmas…
...Really??? How did that happen? Now it's the first of December, and I've been MIA on here for much too long. I haven't been lolling around eating bon bons, much as I'd have liked to, but instead I...
