Good morning. It's heavily overcast here this morning, but it is supposed to clear up and be nice today. The local weather predictor on the radio says it should hit 78 or so. After we walk the dogs, Lisa and I will be working on finishing a project in the garage. A neighbor a block over tore all of... Sign in to see full entry.

We Are Hiked Out Tonight
I think that we hiked just shy of ten miles today in some odd terrain. I also think that we wore ourselves out. Lisa just brought me two grilled sandwiches that will serve as 'dinner.' I'm good with that. I've cooked for myself for so long, it's nice just to be able to share cooking duties. Lisa is... Sign in to see full entry.
We Are Back
We had a nice day wandering about. Surprisingly, it reached 82 today, something that has not been normal the last few weeks. Lisa learned that sandals are not appropriate footwear for some of the paths that we take, but I had an extra pair of shoes I had bought for someone else that never used them,...

It's been raining or at least sprinkling on and off all night, but it's supposed to be heading close to 80 today. We are going to head out on the road to places yet to be determined. Lisa is ready to go now. Me? I have a few things I have to do before I leave. I posted the third and final chapter of... Sign in to see full entry.

Lisa again, hey-hey. I'm not the writer that my hubby is, but I will try to sneak in here when I can. V is taking a nap after mowing bothe of the yards. It's not hot but the yard is big & he did it after we walked for about five miles. He took a shower, two ASA, that's aspirin, & is sprawled out... Sign in to see full entry.
Wrap Up on Several Things Plus Some Weird Stuff
I just posted the last of 'I Remember Judy - A Love Story,' and it would be a lie to tell you that it didn't affect me all over again. It was the way that I 'gift-wrapped' it as Judy was dying. That agony thing I was talking about last night. I finished this 85,000 word story in twenty-eight days... Sign in to see full entry.

Heard It In A Love Song
It always puts a smile on my face when I make the last post of the night these days. This is one of those 'soul-baring,' 'sappy love crap' posts I used to make before Judy passed. Bear with me, please. I used to stay up until 1, sometimes even 2 AM every night, but now I have a reason to shut down... Sign in to see full entry.
Here's an idea to help and challenge me. I need a story idea from the 'peanut gallery' here - one in the 'romance' genre and one in a murder genre. Give me a 100 to 400 word outline of the main plot idea with an idea of where the story is going, and then let me see where I can take it. Actually,... Sign in to see full entry.
Some Plain Talk
As I wrote last night, we talked about a lot of things last night after I joined 'everyone' in bed. One of the things that no one ever wants to talk about was our main topic, but it was one everyone should talk about. Funeral plans. Fortunately, when Judy passed, she and I had already talked it...

Behind This Door...
This won't happen again, so I'm posting these before she changes her mind. This was Lisa in early 2019 when we first reunited. We were at a fund raising party for one of her friends. This was earlier this spring when we were near Grand Marais. The baseball hat is from the West Michigan Whitecaps,... Sign in to see full entry.
