A friend asked me recently if I still posted to my blog. My initial reaction was, "Huh! I guess not! Haven't even thought of it for ages." When asked why, I could only come up with "my life isn't that interesting". But then, writing a blog isn't one of those social media posts where you are presenting your life in its most polished form. A blog allows more scope for reflection. So I checked to see if my blog was still alive and sure enough it was there. I actually had fun re-reading my posts and remembering things! So here I am again, unadorned and unfiltered. Writing for me, if no one else!
Looking through the last couple years of photos I realize how much has happened. I won't try to encapsulate it all but will start small. One of the biggest changes was the addition of Lucy to our household so I'll start with a couple photos of her.
She's a feisty but sweet rescue dog, part Dachshund, part German Shepherd and the remainder is Heinz 57 and she's changed our lives immeasurably. She is a fanatical frisbee chaser and loves Anne with a passion. She could have been a circus dog.
We weren't sure how the progression of Pete's Parksinson's disease would affect our ability to travel but last fall, we decided to try. We were invited by dear friends to visit them in England so off we went. Pete did amazingly well, so well, in fact, that he's pushing for a trip to Germany this year. I, who have barely recovered from the trauma of getting through Heathrow with barely enough time to make our flight home, am not committing to anything adventurous yet.

On the broad sandy beaches of Hythe, in Kent.
That sea air will blow the jetlag out of your brain!

Now that I've gotten my toes wet with Blogger again, I'll be more inclined to post again.
