Happy Monday! Wasn’t it a great weekend here in Oregon? Mid eighties on Saturday and Sunday in early May is almost unheard of. I hope you just relaxed, worked in the yard, took a long walk, and refrained from trying to do a one-upsmanship of our president and sending out over one hundred tweets. IContinue reading “May 11, 2020”

It was a beautiful evening up here last night. When this is our living room you can keep me quarantined. Ha, ha. We drove over to Hood River today with Chris and Jim to pickup our wine club order at Marchesi Vineyards. What a nice drive over the mountain and through the woods. We packedContinue reading “May 8, 2020”

You may have noticed I took a day off yesterday and didn’t publish a post as the day just got away from me and before I knew it, it was cocktail time. Lot’s going on in the world, though, so plenty to talk about. Let’s start with “Mourning in America,” a one-minute advertisement by theContinue reading “May 7, 2020”

Buenas Tardes mis amigos and Feliz Cinco de Mayo!! I’m sure all of our Hispanic friends are relieved they don’t have to see a bunch of drunken white folks in Sombreros slobbering all over themselves this year thanks to that corona dude. For the missus and me it’s going to be a big ol’ tacoContinue reading “May 5, 2020”

OMG! Those cupcake desserts the kids brought today were delicioso!! Todays 70 year old birthday gal had an orgasm saying 6 or 7 times, “yum,” as I looked at her thinking, “I’m as yummy as those cupcakes, cupcake.” Anyhoo, they were very tasty. Dinner was scrumptious. Dessert was heavenly. Now going to get my oldContinue reading “May 3, 2020 Part II”

The missus had a milestone birthday today — 70 years old. She’s trying to catch up with me. I haven’t gotten out by myself for ages, so I had to make her birthday card on the computer, and in it I wrote, “Now that you’re in your 70s, it’s time to grow up and stopContinue reading “May 3, 2020”

As I sit here writing today’s post, it is pouring down rain. Several times the wind has gusted through, bouncing tree branches off the roof with a sound like rocks being dropped onto the house. It will be a good day to drink some afternoon tea, read, and just be lazy before pouring the eveningContinue reading “May 2, 2020”

Happy May Day!! We probably won’t be dancing around the May Pole or delivering a May Day Basket to our neighbor today, but we can hope that this will be the month that we are able to start taking some baby steps to opening up the country a tad bit. People are getting grouchy andContinue reading “May 1, 2020”

Wow! The last day of the month. Did April just fly by or what? It was just a month ago that I started writing this here blog to give me something to do while sheltering in place and as an outlet to release some of my pent up frustration and anger at the way ourContinue reading “April 30, 2020”

Well we got out of the house today and drove down to the flatlands of Sandy, Oregon to stock up on vittles and other needed items (still doing okay with TP). We hadn’t been to the grocery store for almost two weeks, so it was time to get some fresh veggies, fruit, meat, and restockContinue reading “April 29, 2020”
