August 2025 Island Trip – Day 5
Today is our 26th wedding anniversary! Of course we padded the day with two service appointments, and giving Stella’s 32” TV to a young guy 😏 (It’s been used mainly to hang damp towels over for 5-years ~ I did check that it works!). We did spend time relaxing, and did not harvest, but put […]
August 2025 Island Trip – Day 4
We caught a mouse in a sticky trap today. This is disappointing and encouraging all at once. If it was still inside Stella, it was being very quiet. If it came in from the outside, we’re still vulnerable. What I do know is there’s one less mouse in the world. I also know that these […]
August 2025 Island Trip – Day 3
The trailer was a blissful 56º this morning. My DH exclaimed the temp as he was getting dressed. I replied, “And I LOVE it!!” It was in the mid-80’s yesterday, inside and out. Today it got up into the low 80’s. We’re going in the right direction! I continued with mouse cleanup today. It was […]
August 2025 Island Trip – Day 2
Today was packed with more mouse remediation. Stella feels livable again, both in terms of pest invasion and getting the voluminous numbers of items put away. Anything that is in paper or cardboard packaging in is some sort of Tupperware. I defy anyone to tell me that having a penchant for containers is a bad […]
August 2025 Island Trip – Day 1
OHMIGAWD!!! Fucking Mice!!!! Stella has been here for almost 5-years, and nothing, not a sign of the little fuckers. We get in today, and the signs are everywhere. Well, not in the upper cabinets, or the big wardrobe. It makes me want to rip out all the cabinetry and replace it with standalone pieces that […]
Yoga
I attend yoga twice a week to recenter, calm myself (if needed), relax, stretch, strengthen, improve balance and be in the moment. It checks all the boxes. There are two regular instructors, whose styles work really well. I always walk out of class feeling better than when I walked in. Twice now there has been […]
My Uncle ~ About to Die, Oh Wait, Not!
I received a text from my aunt this morning saying that my uncle was in the hospital, and things were not looking good. Like a few days were his expected longevity… I texted back the appropriate words, and then messaged my cousin. I heard nothing for a couple of hours. Meanwhile I texted my cousin […]
Camp Reunion – Day 5
We slept in today. Late. After an instant oatmeal breakfast we drove north of Camp to to a self-guided walk of a historic village. It’s been more than a decade since we’ve taken this village stroll. There are pieces of property for sale in the village and it makes us fantasize about living here… But […]
Camp Reunion Continued…
We’ve had an incredible time catching up with folks. Staying late enough at Camp each evening that there’s been no opportunity to post an update after returning to Luna at night. Yesterday we went to the main tourist town south of where we’re staying with our kids and grandson. We flew a kite on the […]
Camp Reunion – Day 1
Getting here was grueling, The drive took 5 3/4 hours through traffic that didn’t make sense (what traffic makes sense??). At our usual stopping point someone tickled my shoulder as I was checking out with a snack. It was my daughter!! I wondered if we’d see her and her family at this weigh station 💜. […]
