I figured you’d have gone to bed already since you woke up so early. LOL
Good night and sleep well.
And go get yourself some of those black-out curtains tomorrow. Theirs are the best I’ve ever used and I’ve gotten them from several places over the years.
Your sleep-pattern will appreciate it. :-)

Be back shortly. I need to make a Wally World run for cat food, litter, and a few other things. If I wait til tomorrow, I’ll swelter since the A/C in the station wagon doesn’t work.

That photo has wrenched my heart every time I’ve seen it. That young man was doing his best to keep a brave face but the anguish is so obvious.
He and his family are from a town only 25 miles from here.

As much as my Mom loves chocolate, she said the marshmallow in the middle was great.

It sure did look good in the pic!
Sounds like you picked a winner for your mom.
Did she have a good time playing with her flowers on the deck?

It’s hard to believe it’s been 9 years since that happened.
It probably feels like an eternity to the family, especially to Christian. :-(
