Not much adventure, which is, in general, fine by me. I'm pretty okay with a boring life most of the time. Tree Fae and I are both pretty much homebodies who enjoy each other's company and that of our ludicrously large menagerie. Mostly biding our time until Winter releases us from its deadly grip, and then we'll be reviving the gardens and hopefully replacing our poor canvas gazebo which succumbed to heavy snow last February. I long for motorcycle weather to return.
Last Spring brought the failure of our main electrical service as a belated circumstance of the aforementioned snowstorm. That took a chunk out of our fiscal asses, then, last week, we had to have the main sewer dug up and repaired near, but not in, the street. For some reason, that wasn't as much fun as it sounds.
TF's father passed last Spring, so the holidays were kind of emotional for the family. Our preemie granddaughter has had some ups and downs, but is generally doing very well. My other grandkids are growing like weeds, and are crazy smart, although I don't see them as much as I'd like since their folks moved across town. It was much more convenient when we all lived together, but those days are a couple of years past, now.
In summation, the same joys and miseries as everyone else. How's by Clod? I see you very sporadically on FB, and do keep up with a few other Dwellars there. But it really isn't the same. Thus, my commitment to returning here. Hearing of Claudette's demise so long after the fact really shook me up, and made me realize what a shitty Dwellar I've been for so long.
