My sister-in-law Lauren and her husband were in the vicinity of Schenectady and decided to visit my mother while in the area. Between her ballroom dancing and gardening, my mother remains in good health and great shape even as she approaches her 89th birthday next month.

Maya and Caleb are off to Acadia National Park for a4-dayy camping trip. Working on the tiny house has been more physically exhausting than I would have ever imagined and I am happy to have the day off while my boss is on vacation.
