Good Morning Everyone. A beautiful morning here. I am a little late getting this posted. I am continuing my research on ADA issues I mentioned the other day and spent 2 hours online this morning looking through all manner of government websites. This is the beginning of school vacation week here so the kids are getting a chance to play and rest instead of scurrying off to school first thing. This picture reminded me of how important and realxing a good nap can be for all of us, young or old. And I love nothing more than a nap in the sun with the gentle roll of the schooner rocking me like a baby. Doesn’t that just sound like heaven!

Have a great day. Be well. Do good.

Many people, including Jen, have been doing heroic work to support Mary these last few weeks. Oddly enough Mary was never very excited about transitions though this was about the fastest transition she ever made. And as I struggle to let go of Mary I realize I am terrible with transitions as well. We used to joke about how we liked things just the way they are, thank you very much, so why change what is working already even if it might be less labor intensive. Hard works is its own reward. I used to joke about getting Mary a Cui...
