Kevin started the brush pile on fire at farm in the rain, I played with Izzy while he watched fire, when the rain stopped, we mowed the yard.
quarter inch in our rain gauge.
2015 lookin' for that house I saw on A Haunting in Garden Grove....
last night was VIP Blackberry Smoke concert. very cool.
Kevin finished spraying CRP while I mowed yard.
also bought a REAL camera that I'm afraid I'm not smart enough to use. and purchased travel insurance. trying to buy plane tickets. not going well.
Godeys Lady's Book: A good wife, a true woman...puts her own grievances out of sight to drive away with pleasant smiles the clouds that gather around her husband's gloomy brow.

called Grundy. $. electrician. anxiety.
Kevin ran chainsaw and filled trailer while I started mowing with deck in highest position. got maybe half yard done when we called it a night. I did ALL 3 items on my daily to-do list (call Grundy, trash to curb, clean shelf in garage so Kevin's tools can go on it....) I. am. unstoppable. even started a stack of awful books I read to donate next time I trek around the walking trail at Trenton. they have a Little Library on trail. Mercer's Little Libraries have disappeared.

2009 thanks to a 5th grade Social Studies book, I have 'discovered' Anne Hutchinson, a banished Puritan who with 5 of her children was killed by Indians. History never interested me much when I went to school, but it fascinates me now! (maybe because I come closer to being history every day?)

met Kevin for a Dr. Appt, lunch at Subway, some shopping, then picked up 2 loads of brush, mostly in the rain....progress is being made.
2016.......here I am in my living room, watching some dance team choreography magic happen...

I picked up Rip, had a playdate with Izzy, and Kevin and I tag-teamed mowing the yard.
he tried out his beard straightner.
2025 watching YouTube videos shot at Farrar...the investigator is kinda an ass. taunting old dolls. yes, YOU, Midwest Max. - have found several ghost hunting videos where I've spotted 'my girl." it's a fun game. even started a notebook. (insert laughing emoji here) - Paranormal Chill Seekers FB page....#thisdollhasseensomethings is their profile pic ❤️. - I found a vintage "Little Orphan Annie" doll on eBay (bought her!) that will replace the doll I donated to Farrar that apparently disappeared. - so, anyone else out in their jammies at 1:54 a.m. taking pics of the moon? anyone?

2013 Found Grape for baby Ian...he just needs a bath and he'll be ready for adventures with the next generation! Koren commented: yay! he looks pretty good for being 27 LOL - Kevin & Katie built these temp. steps! 😉 - Found these in a box moving my "hoarder" stuff... Grandma Grace gave these to me years ago and I thought I'd lost them...
2012 How exciting 2 drive thru Bethany McDonald's under construction drivethru! Not so exciting waiting on my fries...

we spent the weekend with Katie, went to some Plymouth Day activities with her, and we all met up with Koren and company at Milford Lake Sunday afternoon.
I'm not much of a boat person, but I do love watching the grands living their best life. so, I missed a couple of days posting past FB memories, making new memories instead.
TikTok: following 36. followed by 229. likes 5,867.
2025. building fence.
watching Lake Placid...."I'm not stupid. I watch reality TV. After the first 48 hours it's practically a cold case." "You know, I thought it was a rule of nature that parents took care of their kids.". . this line always gets me...
watching Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus Man:. "We're getting married in two days.". Stewardess:. "You'll be fine.". Mega Shark jumps out of ocean and eats plane. Don't ever change, Syfy. Don't ever change.

2010 sure, ...tweens are hard to shop for, kind of picky eaters, and easy to anger....but they do shower & go to bed all by themselves...kind of evens out, I guess! nothing more relaxing after a long day at work than clobbering some groundhogs & rotating some farm animals....J
