Late to the Party …
In an effort to try to organize my growing stamp collection, I stumbled on a program … Yep – I understand it’s been around for a long time … Evernote (a free organizing app). So, while I’m watching over my moms and pups, I’m entering lots and lots of data. I’ve plowed through 2 baskets …
Tinkering …
Cuz – I can. I’m on vacation. No – we’re not going anywhere. But I’m taking a much-needed break from (ER) work… We’ve had a beautiful SUN day. DH shared his plans to build a deck on the pond … My dad has a birthday coming up … 71 years young. So, I made a …

Pool Time, Dinner and the Cowbell …
Dinner with the (high school) girls, along with a bit of pool time this week, and – Oh, life is good! [Thanks ladies!!!] My kilns are cooking (photos to come), and I’ve got my next vit stack ready. Shooting for an ocean/water scheme, and I’m hopeful we can have our pull before heading back to …
