I love my wife

it’s t-shirt time!

Easter greetings

it is April 1st, and Easter, and of course there are snow flurries coming down because we live in Michigan. we are spending the weekend with my family – a time for food, fellowship, fun, and then some more food!

hopefully spring gets here quickly, because I’d love to be sailing soon.

Groundhog Day is past, spring is right around the corner… and I can’t help thinking about sailing.

it ain’t no spring chicken

it has been a busy spring and early summer, but alas no sailing (yet).  we’ve moved into the new house (not totally unpacked and settled yet), and the old house has sold, pending the usual inspection/appraisal/closing stuff.  moving out into the country has given us an opportunity to see a lot more wildlife up close and personal – this guy came strolling up the driveway yesterday afternoon.  might just make for a nice Thanksgiving dinner in a few months!

trillium & May apples

a sure sign of spring – May apples are growing all over out in our woods, with a few white trillium flowers blooming amongst them.
