Connections

Today I needed a slow paced day.  I didn’t sleep well thanks to what I think was real coffee on the drive home from Ferdinand yesterday.  I was up super early and just got busy with some things that make me happy.  I wrote a bunch of correspondence cards and worked on my blog.  I […]

The Fourth Season

It’s been my goal to hike at Ferdinand State Forest during every season ever since we discovered it. When our winter visit came around, I hadn’t dreamed of going after a fresh snow or to experience the magic of hiking while it was falling. This lake near the Tulip Shelter reminded me of Ansel Adams. […]

Good Friday News!

TGIF! While I was knitting virtually with my friends, I noticed a flurry of aviary activity out in the field.  Thousands and thousands of black birds swooped down and roosted in the field and then took off again.  The moved through in waves over and over and I was mesmerized. Today was my first Friday […]

Catching up

Catching up on the last few days, I’m happy to report I have felt great after my first dose of the vaccine.  My arm was a little tender where I got the injection and sore when I lifted my arm, but otherwise I had no side effects.  The other health update is for Walker.  Tuesday […]

Healthy Service

This morning I had the opportunity to join the ranks of those who are working in the fight against Covid-19. I volunteered at St. Vincent in the vaccine clinic as a non-medical observer. The vaccine process is as such: folks check in at the registration table, proceed to the vaccine station, move along to the […]

Monday’s Musings

Good morning from Grogu! Baby Yoda is doing well and thriving at Bill’s office.  I hit the ground running today.  Most Mondays are red beans and rice days where I’m home all day working on laundry, housekeeping and chores but today I had a 7:30 am appointment. Since I was out already, I piggybacked some […]

Back to Normal

Today when Bill got up, he told me he was feeling much better.  That makes me wonder how badly he felt yesterday because he didn’t complain much at all. He has the ability to put aside any physical needs or discomfort and press on due to the training he had in both medical school and […]

Up and Down

One of the first things Bill did this morning was take his temperature. It was elevated since he usually runs in the 96s.  After the second dose of the Covid vaccine, he was curious to monitor it. Three hours later, it was coming down and he was more satisfied. Because we didn’t know what to […]

A Grateful Day

It’s Friday and Bill’s day off however he had several appointments pretty close together.  The first was at 7:30 am followed by his long overdue visit to the ophthalmologist. Then we met to pick out his new glasses.  I had not anticipated how more challenging it would be during Covid when a fair portion of […]

Growth

Thursdays have a nice flow.  I rise a little earlier so I can get my workout in, shower and get Mason up and we try to leave as close as we can to 6:40 am.  I drop him off and hop onto a 7 am meeting.  It’s a good way to start the day.  I […]
