Off the grid days
Has it seriously been over two months since I’ve written here? Wow. Life really gets in the way sometimes. For the first time in about a decade, I didn’t make it up to the cottage for Memorial Day weekend. Lots has been going on with the end of the school year coming in a few days and hosting the big car convention in 40 some days. I’ll be glad when it’s all over so I can get some well deserved island time. This May has been full of thunderstorms – one of which knocked the power out last Saturday night. We haven’t had a blackout in a long time, so I was excited to break out some of our new candle holders. It’s amazing how well candles can light the place. It makes me want to have a night a week where we don’t use any electricity.
Here’s husbandman in the living room. Yes, we keep our Halloween tree up all year. ![]()
