It rained last night. Yesterday, to prepare for Travel Day today, Kevin put away Ambient Weather station and ham radio antenna in the basement of HOWE (footnote 1). So, I said, if Ambient shows rain… it means the basement of HOWE is flooding. He got a good laugh out of that. Thankfully it wasn’t raining... Continue Reading →

Sourdough, Friends, & Lincoln In Illinois
Travel Day to Illinois to see friends. We meet them back in 2024 when we wintered (Jan-Feb) all around Florida. They are so fun, sweet, and love games.

Then the NEXT day, time changes to daylight saving time and we lose another hour! HAHA" I thought... Continue Reading →
