But I do know when I’ll be back again! Tomorrow morning I’m flying to Milwaukee to visit my brothers and sisters and their families. I have a new grand nephew to see and snuggle, and I’m looking forward to that, as well as seeing everyone else. I’ll fly back home on Friday. In the meantime, [...]

When I flopped down on the sofa tonight and looked up, I saw the full moon framed in the dormer window of our living room. It looks smaller in the picture, probably because I don’t know what I’m doing when I pick up a camera. But you get the idea. The carved head is [...]

Our son took the picture through a window and screen, hence the slightly blurry texture of the photo. We employ two cats, and they do a phenomenal job of hunting down the rodents who [...]

I was looking through some of my quotes and saw this one. It made me laugh, and I just couldn’t resist sharing it.
Love, and a cough, cannot be hid. ~George Herbert

So any day now, I’m hoping this second blast of cold or flu or whatever will finally finish its course and I’ll be able to breathe and think clearly again. My head feels full of cement one day, then a sloshing ocean the next. But the cough is almost gone, and I’m very thankful for [...]
