Monday, July 7, 2025 It was a much more reasonable hot today. We turned off the A/C for the first time in almost a week. The convertible ride to brass band was perfect. Perfect! When we came out of rehearsal, the sky was DARK over there. The wind was picking up. Keith checked the weather

Sunday, July 6, 2025 Man, I love after-a-party. The house is clean, there are leftovers to eat, you don’t have anything on the to-do list, and some of the people are still around.

Tuesday, July 1, 2025 Our friend Stacy could use the old stove and refrigerator, so off they went today. You can’t see Tom doing the brunt of the work, but he’s behind the frig. We still have the craft room table out there, but we are getting closer to having a complete garage. Friend Christina

Sunday, June 29, 2025 We had a very good time talking with Vonnie and Mark and Marcos. Vonnie made sure to let us know that she is not telling their other sister so we can hopefully prank her sometime in the future. They were returning to the mall for some shopping this morning, then heading
Saturday, June 28, 2025 About two months ago, Keith’s sister texted to see if she and her family could stay with us while they attended a local graduation party. I said of course, because, of course! A couple days later, I asked Keith, “Did you tell your sisters we are moving?” He said no, because
