In the planning stages of a DIY kitchen remodel. Moving things out of the way to prep for demo. The goal is to finish the project before we run out of booze. 🤣

(I realize this photo makes it look like we are raging alcoholics. I promise, we aren’t. We just like to have tastings with friends.)

Follow up testing one year after stem cell transplant - bone marrow biopsy results look good! Still getting chemo every 2 weeks for my high-risk flavor of multiple myeloma. But (otherwise) healthy and enjoying life.

One of my happy places: Lake Shasta on a houseboat with some of my favorite people

First swim of the season! Nothing better to wash away the cares of the day.

Oregon Outback - Summer Lake

Traffic jam on the way to the office this morning. Not even mad about it.

They say opposites attract. Near plate is mine - food all jumbled together. Far plate is hubby’s.
We’re also complementary on the cake/frosting issue. He eats the cake, and I get the best part.

Free Concert!

Southern Oregon Concert Band is an all volunteer, all ages community band since 1909.

Thursday March 20 at Oakdale Middle School (the old Medford High School). 7:00pm (it’ll be over by 8).

Come watch me pound shit (cymbals, chimes, tambourine, vibraphone, glockenspiel …).

Feeling very old-timey today. Made chicken & dumplings, and applesauce.

Maui Humane Society does amazing work. The ripple effects of these DOGE cuts are going to be devastating.

Made it to my driveway!

Starting to look like the drive home from the office might be a little tricky. Still coming down.

Before, during, and … well, it’s not really after, so we’ll call it during, part 2.

Lunch at the Phoodery. Small town doing things right.

First Bluesky post. I’m overthinking this. So for starters, here’s a picture of the sheep my husband painted. It makes me smile.
