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 💜. […]
Update on All the Things 😏
The smoke has fled, and it rained today!! Hard at times. What a summer blessing. The island out our kitchen window has color and definition again. The property manager got back in the communication loop after I reached out. We are on track. What a relief. I did reach out to Tim’s landscaper who is […]
Neighbor to the North
I found out yesterday, via social media, that our neighbor to the north passed away yesterday. He had just entered home hospice at the end of May with an expected 5 or 6 months. He wasn’t afraid to pass, and indeed grumbled that the hospice staff was stopping in far too often 😏. They assured […]
July 2025 Island Trip – Day 5
By the time I got back to our mainland home, after 5PM, my feet had been wet since 9AM… It started raining on the Island last night, and continued to do so all morning. The shoes I traveled in aren’t waterproof, But did I want to wear my more waterproof shoes breaking camp, and then […]
