Get while the gettin’s good!

Well, now it is Summer …

Today is his day … or maybe I should say “hiss” day.

Posted on June 17, 2018 by Linda Schaub

Too pooped to participate.

Posted on June 16, 2018 by Linda Schaub

Posted on June 10, 2018 by Linda Schaub

  I could write reams about all the rain we’ve endured the past two months.  We’ve had rain nearly every weekend since mid-April.  That’s not counting the weekdays – there’s been plenty of rain then as well!  Even our Memorial … Continue reading →
