Archive: A last November weekend to finish yard chores

| November 25, 2025

This could have been the last nice weekend to finish up yard work such as raking and hauling leaves – and my rake is about to be retired, as am I!  Who knows as a few trees are still fulling loaded with leaves; perhaps the wind will blow them elsewhere??? Anyway if felt good to […]

A busy autumn for our family and leftover automotive items

| October 29, 2025

It was a busy autumn weekend for the next generation in our family. Taylor and Megan were taking advantage of the nice fall weather to go to the Renaissance Festival while the Oostras planted tulip bulbs (how fitting) and tackled the huge “Back to the Future” corn maze in NW Ohio. It looks like the […]

Beach Erosion, Postseason Baseball and Family in Western NY

| October 16, 2025

Eventually I’ll get around to updating a back and forth trip to Florida to check on the Delray Beach condo’s lanai repairs (and the missing beach – erosion video above) … maybe more over the weekend (???) … but for now a little updating on our lack of excitement with MLB post-season baseball.

It would be difficult to find a much more […]

Archive: What did we do over the 4th of July weekend in 2025?

| July 6, 2025

If you want to know what Brenda and I did to celebrate the 249th birthday of our country, my answer would be … not all that much. I ended up spraying our lawn for those sod webworms that has become a recent problem (the last 5 years) and then relaxed in the pool with my […]

Enjoying life and leftover President’s Day weekend family photos

| February 19, 2025

My reading from a week ago has stalled … and I have no idea why? “Area 51” by Annie Jacobsen is an interesting book, and beside walking, neither Brenda or I are doing much more than pretending we are on a long vacation.   One of our pleasures is seeing the same people each morning […]
