Here we are...right in the middle of 2025!
Despite the current President and Administration...and multiple wars raging...and unrest here in the states...it has been a fairly decent year so far.
Everything is paid...there is food in the house...John has finished surgery, radiation and chemo and will remain on immuno-therapy for a couple of years but is feeling good...doing well...and we will have another CT-and MRI in August...all in all the feeling is positive and life is good.
Thriving.
Oh...and tomorrow Explore.org turns the Bear Cams back on at Katmai and the bear-folk will be back for coffee!
Hibernation is ending...and we are all wondering if Otis is really gone, or if he will lumber back for one more year.
Adapting...a few new glitches with FRED...but over-all fine.
Amber picking up a few extra duties that I am no longer capable of doing.
She is a lifesaver.
Planning a new virtual hiking adventure on the AZT...soon...maybe next Monday.
John and I have been cheering on The Pacers together!!! Loved beating The Knicks...and hoping to best Oklahoma and win it all!!!
Summer is almost here...everything is warm..heavy...green...lush! The fireflies are back...I have Mourning Doves...a pair of Cardinals...a pair of Blue Jays (nested in my Black Locust out back and dive bombing the cat)...ready to put out bedding plants and Summer-Up the patio to enjoy iced sweet tea and reading on.
The new stuff involves Arby's latest additions of
Pulled Pork BBQ with a spicy sauce.And
Tried this weekend and both are really incredible!
More soon!
Love,
Carla
...and Gadget!
