This is Mishkin’s favorite sleeping position on his blanket which resides on the couch… Both our computers have webcams and when the program doesn’t freeze solid it takes an ok picture. It also takes little videos but we haven’t figured out a way to convert them to a format anybody besides us can see. And […]

Clouds moved in night before last and sealed in the heat from the day, which made for restless sleep. It rained off and on all day yesterday, short brief showers which were enough to drop the high temperature over twenty degrees from one day to the next. It felt wonderful! Late in the day the […]

We tried a new veggie burger called Amy’s Bistro Burger, which is both gluten free and dairy free. AND it is the best veggie burger I’ve ever tried! I toasted some of the gluten free Sesame Seed Bean Bread I’ve been making, and the taste combination of the toasted bread and veggie burger was amazing. […]
