In 2021 I’m micro-blogging my daily thoughts and capturing a few photos. Why, and why should you care?

Work continues on the tile in the bathroom (who’s going to clean it all?), but they have at least another two or three days before it’s finished. The deck guy came back again to carry on with those projects, so … Continue reading →

We got up early to drive to Sugarloaf Mountain in Maryland to hike to the top. Stunning views from up there, including views toward where we live, 50 miles or so in the distance. You can see Sugarloaf from my … Continue reading →

It’s Black Friday and Buy Nothing Day, and although we wholly support buying nothing, that didn’t stop us from going to both Lowe’s and Home Depot—and buying an artificial Christmas tree! Hubby grew up with a fake tree made out … Continue reading →

Thanksgiving Day, and my stepson’s 25th birthday. When I first met little Sammy, he was still in diapers. Now he has his own apartment and a new job he seems to like. We tried calling him but he’s not keen … Continue reading →
