‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 4
All the peeps showed up today… My DH and I moved two tall metal shelves from the lower to the upper barn, and filled the truck (DH did the vast majority of this task) with more firewood. He also installed a second security camera aimed at Stella. We had a great birthday phone call with […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 3
It’s been a quiet day with a little exploration of my DH’s office trailer. We finally went through all the cupboards, inside and out, to see what came with her. There was a propane griddle thing that I posted on the local Buy Nothing board. It’s being picked up tomorrow! I also found the wire […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 2
We started today by sleeping it half away. It was 12:30 when I finally got out of bed. We get a little feral about bedtime when my DH is on vacation. 😏 Our neighbor to the east and I took a walk up the road, stopping at the neighbor to the north along the way. […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 1
The drive to the ferry alternated between fog as thick as pea soup, and brilliant sunshine. It was kinda wonderful! Stella continues to be mouse free. I am saying prayers to the correct lesser-Gods. I don’t think God has time in their schedule to influence our mouse concerns, so I send my requests to those […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip Pre-launch
We got home from a delightful afternoon, at the local (extremely well done) aquarium, celebrating our grandson’s birthday, at 4:30. Once home, I kinda went into a pre-trip-panic looking at all the unchecked boxes. 1.5 hours later, I am happy to report feeling in good shape for an 8:30 departure. We’re joining up with the […]
Merry Christmas 🎄
NORAD is tracking Santa’s flight around the world! Children everywhere are dreaming of delights in the morning, parents are putting away screwdrivers and allen wrenches… And looking forward to a special breakfast, and a sea of wrapping paper. We are reflecting on all that we are thankful for: Family, some time off, intentionally making space […]
November 2025 Island Trip – Day 6
Not wanting to drive the loaded truck up to Stella (minor risk of tearing up the ‘road’), I used our Gorilla cart to schlep stuff back and forth. No surprises pulling out, and I got to town in time to do a little Christmas shopping after putting the truck in line. I ran into a […]
November 2025 Island Trip – Day 5
It was a truly relaxed day. Well mostly 😂. I didn’t roll out of bed until close to 10. It was too comfortable reading under the covers with tea in hand. And my first order of business was to take a (drought) shower, which isn’t the most luxurious experience during cold months. So, I kept […]
November 2025 Island Trip – Day 4
Today had fewer people involved in it. This meant I had time to:
