Mini Gracetalk!
Today, March 19th, I did a short Gracetalk for the Academy of Lifelong Learning at Lincoln Land Community College. I haven't done any Gracetalks at all since 2018, and so I had worked myself into a tizzy and got more and more anxious about it and last night I was just waaaaay too nervous, then I gave myself a good talking-to and said that I should get over being so nervous or I shouldn't do any more of them. And I actually listened to myself and slept well. Here it is, I hope you like it. I'm inspired now and am starting to plan for a full length one in May. It's actually mostly written and...

Writing about May in May

Wrapping up April
Kevin dedicates a good portion of his time to keeping the cats in their respective outside areas. He finally thwarted Lester from escaping the fenced yard (but probably only temporarily), and...
April, mostly cats plus a minor explosion
Gee, I'm really on a roll with getting stuff up here for a change. Or course that can and probably will come screeching to a halt again because that's how I roll. Rolling, but only occasionally and...
March!
Sometimes Kevin and I go to Mom's house to watch TV, but mostly to hang out with Pumpkin who loves Kevin best of all. We celebrated Mom's birthday in March and she got these two mugs, among many...
Lester running amuck while I was away
But first, MAY!!! How have I not had any free time, as usual? Anyway, here's the short tale of Les Paul while Mom and I were in Florida way, way back in February. We left on Feb. 24th and arrived in...
