Today (31 January 2024) is the second anniversary of my mother’s death. She’d been living with us for over a year and near the end receiving in-home hospice care. Prior to her moving in with us, we lived several states away and had only visited a few times over the years since we’d moved away. […]
This post is going to be a bit of a whine. We’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues this year and it seems that things get better and then they get not so very much better — meaning things slide downhill. I was just congratulating myself that I’d made it through Capclave okay […]

Well, I say not much going on because things are only now beginning to show. I’ve been working a lot — A LOT — in the garden area. For the last several years health problems have kept us from doing much in the yard area of our home ground. I’ll post pictures later but so […]
