Lunch with Linus
 Today Greg was free in the afternoon so Rachel, Linus, and we two met him in Dewey Square amid the food trucks with their long lines. We chose instead to dine at Back Deck, a more leisurely experience. Here Greg & Linus both enjoy beverages of their own...
Early Mornings with Greg & LinusÂ
Usual routine in this household is for Greg and Linus to share some quiet time together in the early morning hours. We've enjoyed having the privilege of sharing this special time with our guys this visit.
Ready for an OutingÂ
It's a gloriously warm day, the warmest day yet in Linus' life. With the little guy garbed in a short outfit, sun hat, and sunscreen, we are ready to walk/stroller to the grocery store! Another great adventure in Boston.
Spring Buds
It's a glorious Spring day here in Orleans and we came outdoors to explore. Linus was fascinated with the buds on the Japanese Maple. And Karen was amazed with the miniature daffodils!
Daffodil Time Again
This is working out to be quite a prolonged Spring for us. Our daffodils and forsythia bloomed in late March followed by redbuds and dogwoods in early April. Then we traveled to Cincinnati and back then to Canton and back. Both times we traveled through redbuds and...
Kayaks in Transit
     Back in '02 we fell in love with kayaking and soon became proud owners of two 12 foot flat water boats. For the next few years we were frequently out on the rivers, lakes, and bayous all over SW Florida. Those outings were glorious times! Then we moved to the...
Hugging Our GirlsÂ
 It has been a great weekend with our granddaughters. We played with Peyton's awesome collection of Littlest Pet Shops, did a Pizza and Movies night, built an elaborate train layout with Riley's wooden train set, and made Apple Pancakes for dinner. Holding the two of...
It All Started with Niagara Falls
A family history reference to Niagara Falls triggered Mark's memory of a Three Stooges skit that he shared with all of us this rainy morning. Of course we then needed to watch the Abbott and Costello version. From there we proceeded to Laurel and Hardy's The Music...
Yarncraft ProjectsÂ
 Smoky Mountain Knitting Guild is gearing up for a public display of yarn craft. Karen's donations include a handspun hand-dyed, hand knit cap, three knit scarves, and a handwoven (on the new Kromski Harp) scarf. All represent learning new skills and all will go to...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
