Nice! We have similar snowshoes! So much fun for trekking in the snowy woods.

Hmm. Unless it’s a tuna fish sandwich, I’m thinking it’s actually second or third breakfast.

I keep wanting to post about something I’m enjoying … and then I don’t.

Nice! I’ve been a member since 1984. No mugs. 😕

Indy area folks. Beasley’s Orchard has a number of apple varieties available and their apples are in great shape. We got Fuji, Pink Lady, and Evercrisp this morning. 😋 Even open on Sunday! www.beasleys-orchard.com

Sorry to hear about the traffic and the need to go in. Hoping you get the “best of both worlds” — some time to read, but not so much time w/out power that you have to go in.

Easy for me to say, but I’d call it a win!

Not necessarily… but maybe … always assume it “could be” …
also, “What do you think, Paul?”
Other questions?

I think some folks struggle, but it feels pretty easy for us—at least at this point. We’ve always been kinda boring people with low expectations. We enjoy little things.
I think you’ll figure it out. Like much of life, you figure it out when it gets closer … and you make new plans as needed.

We also looked for a “retreat” for a number of years and finally found one in Brown County. It’s about 75 minutes from our Indy house. Rural area with a small house, woods, hills/ravines and a pond. Had it for a year. Love to hang out there. Walk, take care of the property, plant trees and flowers.

Nothing big. Just planning to do more of the stuff we’ve always enjoyed. One “bucket list” we’ve been working on for about 5(?) years is going to every county fair in Indiana. We’ve been to 22. There are 92. 🙂

Can relate. Often feel the same. Sorry to report that it’s an ongoing problem … said the parent of three (who are all over 30 years old) that still routinely confuse the hell out of me. Hang in there.

Haven’t scheduled much of anything yet … but, yes. Planning time for a variety of things like writing haiku.

I promise I won’t do that. Not to you, anyway, unless your posts go completely off the rails. 😂

Local reports ~7 inches. I’m thinking more like 8-9 inches at our house in Indy.
Opted for my smallish corded electric snowblower for this round. Not really much easier than shoveling … but more fun. 😂
