Wednesday, July 12, 2023 It was a happy Wednesday. We had a visit from our neighbors, Mark and Sue, and their kids (adults) visiting from London and San Fransisco. What could be better than seeing those kids? Seeing the kids they brought with them! Adorable. It was just wonderful. We also went to Tom and

Tuesday, July 11, 2023 Maren and I were out practice walking for our upcoming trip to Disney World (let’s face it – I’ve been sedentary since my heart went wonky 2.5 years ago. I was just assuming I would be able to walk around Disney World because I wanted to…then I realized that was really
