March 2026 Island Trip – Day 6
We just returned from dinner at our fav wee restaurant in town. As usual, it was a delicious delight. We did get the sad news that they’re closing by the end of the year 😢. Their landlord doesn’t want a ‘bar’ in the building anymore. The landlord’s daughter wants them to stay, but she’s not […]
March 2026 Island Trip – Day 5
Today continues to be more serene… Even the weather, which was predicted to be ferocious, enough so that I placed a bucket of water on the built-in shower seat for flushing the loo, less we lose power. No power, no water! I headed out to the Huge second hand emporium this morning and found a […]
March 2026 Island Trip – Day 4
Our contentment didn’t last long last night. We needed to dump the tanks and upon the conclusion of that task, closing the slicer valve caused the adaptor that holds the external slicer valve onto the pipe where the grey and black water exits the trailer to break! The two bayonet attachments broke off. Fortunately the […]
March 2026 Island Trip – Day 3
We had amazing weather today. It snowed, rained and was sunny enough that Stella reached 75º! A fellow came out and salvaged all the old roofing from the upper barn. He’s offered, as a thank you, to take any remaining metal to the transfer station 😳. What a sweetheart! Our general contractor showed up shortly […]
March 2026 Island Trip – Day 2
Last night was one of those nights where I woke up at 4am and was fully conscious until at least 7 🙄. This was, in part, that the circuit panel, which is housed above my side of the bed, was cycling. A quiet intermittent hum. This is not the first time I’ve heard this. Our […]
March 2026 Island Trip – Day 1
We took a later boat than usual, which made our morning not quite as rushed. The cat, who is with us, was on to us fairly quickly, despite trying to be smooth and sneaky about putting items headed for the truck into the garage. Once he figured things out, he made the most pitiful/hysterical vocalizations […]
Memorial Gathering Update
I had to ask a member of the Grange who to contact, not having heard from them despite the web request and leaving voicemail. It paid off and the Grange has been reserved for a Celebration of Life for my folks. I’m thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I’ve got 6-months to get it organized and pulled together! 😁
Couple of Roof Pics!
I told our roofer that these picture were actually soothing! A new roof also solves the leaking chimney problem… Rain was coming in through the chimney cap in into the new (to us) stove 😳. Not good for a cast iron stove. I am also glad to see that the meadow grass isn’t 3’ high, […]
Progress!
Progress in a few areas… I attended two yoga classes this week. My left (rotator cuff) shoulder was more offended by this exercise than my right ankle! Not to say that my ankle wasn’t challenged, and I did ‘adapt’ my moves to accommodate both joints 😏. It felt SO good. And to that end.. My […]
Graduated!
On Thursday I did indeed graduate to The Brace! The difference in my overall sense of wellbeing is profound. I, of course, immediately went and overdid it 😜! I spent 10-1/2 hours over the last two days at our regional flower and garden show. It was divine! I took lots of breaks, and attended a […]
