Turns out when you go back through photos you realize just how much you have forgotten! And just how much has happened. These past 6 months since I last updated this blog, well there has been lots going on. The biggest impact was when Mom died on Aug 20, 2021. That is really all I could remember for the entire year of 2021! But let me say, there was also plenty more. I won't get it all, but here are some of the highlights: visiting and babysitting for our kids and grandkids. Traveling, which continues at warp speed and frequency. Celebrations: I turned 65 and Tom turned 70. Milestone years. It's a darn good life. Scary good. See for yourself in this sampling of photos!

| I remember sitting with Mom on the back patio. There was one little sliver of dark in one of the clouds...."Do you think it will rain?" I didn't think so but a small drizzle blew through and it was fun to watch the storm with mom. |
