At last, a picture


At last, a picture on my blog. This is my daughter, Kayti, age 9, and her friend Finn, age 5, on that trampoline it took us six years to put up. Soon we'll have to take it down, because we live in the frozen North and outdoor equipment doesn't fare well in winter weather.
Well, it looks like this coming weekend will be the Time of the Great Rooster Slaughter. I'll kind of miss hearing 11 roosters crowing in chorus between 4 and 7 a.m. I did record them, and will try to upload it, but please, I just put up my first picture! Bear with me!
Why is it I think of a million things to say on my blog when I'm out walking, and then when I sit in front of the computer my head is completely devoid of anything resembling ideas? Must be all the Scrabble playing.

We've left our trampoline out year-round for years and it's held up fine. It ain't exactly Maine cold here in New Jersey, but it's cold enough. Leave the danged thing up and use the time you saved to practice your horn.

Dear Neil, we had at least 8 feet of snow last winter.

Kayti did not say that. I did. Debbi. I don't know how to get this site to stop attributing everything I say to Kayti. This is a desperate plea for help.
