It's been a crazy week, and it is only Monday. Lisa's brother has died, and we aren't sure if we can make it back up to Michigan in time. We want to get there, but reality tells me that it probably can't happen. She might be able to go, but I can't. I'm not happy with this situation, but we have to... Sign in to see full entry.

First things first. - I posted this on my personal FB page yesterday. I'm still unsure what to do because this happened at the most inopportune time. We just got a call from our family in Michigan that my wife's brother is dying and isn't expected to live much longer. They want us up there for the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's another day with a high-temperature warning. LOL... yes, it gets hot in Florida, Georgia, and all of the other southern states. Actual temps will be roughly 95 with a 'feels like' 105. We spent the morning doing yard work and will spend the next hour or so sitting under the trees, enjoying Diet... Sign in to see full entry.

LOL, another day, another severe heat warning. Last night's low temperature was 85. That said, I hate to say it, but I felt very comfortable. We have a nice area in the backyard with trees that gives us a nice place to sit in our lawn chairs and talk. We have a 'campfire' area set up, and we... Sign in to see full entry.

It's going to be another scorcher day, and we are hurrying to finish our daily 'outside stuff'. It's already 89 here, heading to ~96 with crazy humidity. I'm still excited about the performance of my new release, "I Remember Judy—A Love Story." It came out two weeks ago, and it has been #24 on their... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm listening to the #freshinkgroup podcast, and once again, the HARDCOVER edition of my tribute to my wife is #24 on their bestseller list. That is absolutely crazy. They put out a lot of books, and to be that high this quickly is mind-blowing.... Sign in to see full entry.
Finally, at about 4 a.m., I realized that an old cell phone I used in our bedroom to get email notifications was chiming. That noise meant the internet had been restored. I've been trying to catch up using my cell phone, but my eyesight is not good enough to do that. I'll be busy doing that for two... Sign in to see full entry.

My internet service is is still down following another direct hit by yesterday's severe tropical storm/ weak hurricane. Our power was restored about 10 pm, but as of 945 this morning, the 'net is a bridge too far. Last August 30th, 2023, we had the same problem. The power was off for 13 days and the...

It was a wild and crazy night last night with all the thunder and lightning and wind. It is still raining like crazy but the thunder and lightning has let up. Are power and our internet are down, so I'm being forced to do this the old fashioned way - on my cell. We are all okay. The pups were a... Sign in to see full entry.
It's 4:20 am. One of the pups had to go outside and it is raining something fierce. It went out, did it's thing and was back inside in less than a minute. We are getting heavy rain with lots of thunder in the sky. The power is out but my cell is still fully charged. The wind is loud and constantly... Sign in to see full entry.
