2020 Reboot
I’ve been seeing “Did you try turning it off and turning it on again?” memes for the year 2020 at Facebook, where I have been spending an unreasonable amount of time. We don’t have that option. However, I am going […]
Pétanque and the Littles
#1 daughter brought the Littles over to visit. We played cars, bouncy games, dollhouse, and pétanque. Well, we didn’t really play pétanque, but we played with the balls. I hope we’ll play pétanque a lot this summer. We took a […]
