Happy 90TH Birthday, Mom!
Today is Mom's BIG DAY!!! Whoo hoo, she's doing so awesome as she starts her 9th decade. Much, much merriment, including a delicious fish dinner that Kevin prepared last night (a very historic event, indeed); we took the food over and ate at Mom's house, also kind of historic, and then the three of us watched two more episodes of "All Creatures Great and Small" which Kevin and I are highly addicted to now. Mom has always liked it. We just went out to lunch to Lime Street, and we'll go to dinner tomorrow night, and the celebrations continue... Here are a bunch of random photos throughout the...

The Dreaded Chameleon Plant
I'm always writing here about Kevin's many projects, but don't get the idea that I'm just lazing around. This plant below has been my obsession when I identified it with my friend Wanda's help on...
More August Fun
On Aug. 16th Kevin removed the very old deck off the bedroom and is in the process of replacing it with concrete tiles. Riley has been excited about it ever since. He finds it a fascinating place to...
As the summer whooshes to a close…
September, really? It was almost fall-like for a few days but now it's hot again, but not into the triple digits at least. Way back in August, Riley kept trying to relax. Ditto Lester. He's lying on...
The State Fair!
It was nice to go back to the fair since it was cancelled last year. The Sunday before it opened I decided to drive into the fairgrounds to see stuff since I figured that when at the fair I wouldn't...
Kevin’s New Shed
As I mentioned previously, Kevin bought a great big shed Sunday Aug. 1st. It came in a big box, but the box was smaller than I thought it'd be to hold such a giant shed. It required a whole lot of...
Kevin’s Happy Day
Wednesday, August 4th, Kevin's 64th birthday...after he'd gone to bed the night before I came up with the brilliant idea of leaving him a voicemail singing "when I'm 64." I wasn't sure where his...
Correction!
Tonight at dinner, Kevin told me that the gutter guys didn't leave our house til 10 at night. A mighty long day.
New Gutters!
Ok, now that it's August...August! How did that happen? It has been so hot and humid around here, but yesterday was freakishly cool and cloudy. It it rained in the morning and after a nap I trimmed...
Lovey’s time on top of the kitty house
I don't think I'd ever seen Lovey being confident enough to sit on top of the kitty house, but there she was on June 15th looking very confident. But then, aha! Riley spotted her up there. He...
