Getting to New York…
Mom and I left for New York on Thursday, June 18th. Our plane didn't leave til the three in the afternoon so it was a leisurely drive to the St. Louis airport Or it would have been a leisurely drive, except as we neared St. Louis it started to pour down rain. The only thing I hate more than driving in the pouring rain on the highway is driving in the rain at night on the highway. I'd hate it even more if it was snowing, of course, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be driving in the snow. Anyway, it had kind of let up when we made a pit stop at a gas station outside St. Louis. When we got back...

Mostly Spot, way back in September…
Kevin took this photo of Spot in our attached garage. When I first glanced at the picture, I thought, "where on earth is that messy place?" And was chagrined to realize that it's our garage. Soooo...
A September Rice Krispie Treats Debacle
Not to brag or anything, but I'm a pretty good cook. I've made incredibly complicated dishes including Indian dinners that I literally spent days preparing. Indian food has many spices and many...
Fall!
Kevin informed me that it's going to officially be fall at 2:20 this afternoon, in just over two hours from now, so this new fall website banner is ahead of schedule, something I do manage to...

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...
