These are the last quarkinis of the season. I’m so sad, but it’s probably for the best. I was reading online reviews on various home gym equipment to figure out what to order for our home gym.
Me: Which do you like better, free weights or machines?
Martin: Food.
Yeaaaa…
The struggle is real.
Looks like I’m gonna be printing out “YEA, YOU CAME TO WORK SICK AS A DOG” certificates for most of my office because that’s the only reason I can fathom these people deciding to bring in the plague to everyone.

I’m falling more and more in love with our house on the hill, but last night, I discovered driving up to it in the snow and ice can be pretty white-knuckling! Just heard the snow plow come through the neighborhood, scraping up the ice and treating the road. Oh, winter fun! Continue reading
It snowed when we moved into our rental house nearly three years ago, so yeah…this is fine.

On the way home from work, I noticed Venus high and bright in the sky … the first clear night in a looooooooong time. So as soon as I got home, we fired up the heater, threw on some blankets, and tested out our new telescope, a gift from our Aunts Sue and Tracey, who spent a few summer nights stargazing with us in that very spot.
We could see so many stars, far more than with our naked eyes.
Can’t wait for the summer when it’ll be warm enough to stay out there longer!
