More from way back in June, when I still had health insurance…
Yeah, I continue to count the days till I'm insured, and it's now THREE MORE DAYS including today. So hopefully things'll be OK. My new (Aetna) insurance through the Affordable Care Act is kind of pricey and not great. But at least I'll be insured, whew. Here's tiny Princess Leia waaaay back on June 7th, when we just got her and she was being very darling and sweet. Oh how things have changed. At first Les would go upstairs and sit outside the fencing we'd put up in Leia's door so they were able to get acquainted. After a while, maybe a couple of weeks, she went downstairs. Because Sweetie...

the beginning of May
May 2nd, the first family of geese! I think there were about 10 babies. Kevin and I took a wonderful kayak ride that morning. I don't know why I didn't take pictures during our trip; we paddled all...
A Unique Biathlon plus lots of crazy Saturday
Last Saturday, May 8th, it occurred to me that Kevin and I had taken part in what I decided was a biathlon that I'm sure nobody else on the planet did. We've created a new type of biathlon! It won't...
More from April
I was so excited to get my new iphone a couple of weeks ago. I had a 6s+, which was about four years old and had started randomly shutting off for no reason, plus, of course, the new phones has...

Dust Mites!?
Amidst all the anxiety, frustration, fear of the unknown and of what tomorrow will bring and general crappiness that started last year with our new Pandemic Reality, there has been one happy thing...
Out on the Lake and other random April Things
The day after Easter I drove past this grand house in Laketown. It's always fully decked out for any and every holiday, but I thought this Easter decor was above and beyond, maybe because not so...
Outside April
Last Saturday morning, April 3rd, Lovely bravely ventured out in the fenced yard. She'd done this with Kevin, but last Saturday she was so eager to get out that when I opened the door she screwed up...
More crashing around to the end of March
A couple of days before I felt like fainting and had to go to the ER, Amy dropped a glass pie pan and it shattered. She swept it up, but felt like there was a shard of glass in the sole of her foot....
A whole new month…
It was so chilly on Thursday, with temps in the 40s and strong winds blowing. It's continues to warm up and today it's going to be in the 70s. The daffodils are blooming, as well as the hyacinth....
