OK then…
Yeah, where have I been? Well, for one thing, Mom and I got back from an impromptu trip to NYC, and we just got back on Tuesday. That's the Tuesday that we just had, June 23rd. We left for NYC on Thursday June 18th and saw some plays and did some stuff and many things happened. But so, what about anything from April? And May? And the rest of June? Well, April, flowers bloomed, and then there were cats. May, goslings were hatched, I had yet another birthday, more cats. June, Kevin started in on Lincoln's Tomb ceremonies and all through those months I was furiously working on our yard. I did...

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....
March Madness
Cerebral Volume Loss. Not something you want to read about, re: the state of your brain. But let me start at the beginning. Last Wednesday, March 24th, I was messing around the house, doing the...
Marvelous Christmas Gift!
As I posted way back in December, Kevin hand-crafted a leather purse for me for Christmas. He has spent the past couple of months doing the dying of leather, and yesterday he completed the project!...
The Last of the Snow…
Hmm, hopefully that's not wishful thinking. We've had a few unseasonably warm days lately, but it's only March, after all. But even if we get more snow that's OK because buds are starting to poke up...
Mom’s Special Day
Here are a few photos of Mom's birthday celebration. Amy and Jim did quite a bit of festive decorating, and their house looked fantastic. We bought her a new pair of shoes because of the huge amount...
