Betcha those folks on “Survivor” wish they had a few of these! The trick is in the pre-cutting, between the “r” and the “e” on this example….

Today, without really planning it to be that way, became Decision Day. That is, by the end of the year (after a big family Thang in Atlanta), Mom will move into a place that’s specifically tailored for dementia sufferers, which will take the burden off Dad. There are no terrific solutions, only some that seem like they’d be better, and this is the chosen one.

I have no recollection of why we’re looking down….

Just gorgeous at dawn, with heavy ground-fog turned brilliant by the sunlight—another lovely day, although we found no time to walk.

Great fun to join cousins (both mine and Mom’s) over by Chelsea for an outstanding feast….

Against all odds, today I had both sun and husband! Proof: here’s my famous ugly hat, great protection in sunny weather, in a photo taken by guess who!

Mullein, in the figwort family….

Heroic measures by jcb: driving from Atlanta to Birmingham AL for a biz meeting, then on to…southern Michigan!—with only a few brief nap-stops…. Yes, a whopping 919 miles. Made in Ohio means endurance….
