Hi, Today was one of the nicest days yet of the summer (no humidity and about 65 degrees) and we decided to walk up to the park with Bob. Bob was calm and seemed to be relaxed throughout the walk and with flowers blooming hopefully enjoyed some of the smells of the walk. When we…

Hello! Nora and I drove out for a cappuccino at Caribou Coffee today to celebrate the beautiful day.

Hello! Nora and I went out for a drive today and stopped at Culvers for a cold treat. She enjoyed “people watching” at Culvers and getting out for a walk when it was sunny. Luckily we got back in before the temperature dropped. She had all kinds of questions about the car and the places…

Hello all, Today Nora and I took advantage of the sunny weather and took a stroll outside. We were suprised to see that the flowers looked heathly still despite the cooler temperatures we’ve been having. I also went to the store today to pick out some fabric to help make Nora a new fleece-tied blanket.…
