On the beach after a record (for me) losing streak.
Sand feels really good today!
Good luck to all on winning the mug.
Stay safe and healthy.

Perhaps Post Enlightenment will strike.
Please stay safe Muggles, one and all 🙋‍♀️
I am with you MM

Next Friday is our anniversary. I think next weekend we are painting the garage door. I heard some romantic talk about renting an electric sander.
The guy at the hardware store and where we get our mulch delivered has said that his business is going great. Everyone is stuck at home and is getting the yard ready and house fixed up. I was planning on planting four more rose bushes today but it is snowing - 3 inches and counting
No painting now. The door died today. We’re getting a new one. What an anniversary gift!
Did you ever think that romance was a new door?

Probably not. But after 38 years it is really ok.

Rabbit holes everywhere. Stuck on this stupid boat and I have to stay six feet away from Isaac. This sucks.

After lurking on this blog for some weeks I decided to make it official with a registered account.
I *might* be on shore.
But if I am, then it's only because a favorable tide washed me there through no effort of my own.
