The other day I found the photos of our bathroom remodel of 2003. One of the things we did was to have a sliding door put in the wall between our room and the bathroom. And, no, we did not do this by ourselves. It was actually done by a friend who knows how to …
"So, what's out there?" Panda's question put an end to my reverie. I had been so absorbed in looking at the back yard that I'd forgotten all about him. "Well," I responded. "It's looking pretty good out there. I think it might almost be spring." "Oh, does this mean the groundhog did or didn't see …
No, I sincerely doubt if that's him. Frank is first mentioned on this blog by Foster in "Why You Probably Shouldn't Try to Eat a Broom". I guess you know I haven't given up on finding Frank. I won't go so far as to say it's become an obsession with me, but I've spent hours …

Since I found the website with articles from before 1930, I have been fascinated with the Ludington Daily News. So this time we're going to take "Letters …
"Let's go to the train station!" we exclaimed in unison. We had reached the bottom of the mountains at Machu Picchu just as the last train for Patagonia was getting ready to leave the station. The view was breathtaking, and for awhile we rode in silence, enjoying the scenery. Panda spoke first. "Remember when we …
