Blog’s Pause (Paws) Button

Earlier this week, I celebrated my 58th birthday.  Justin and I slept in until Julia and Allie drove back on the day after  their cross-country ski race in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.  Allie finished second in her age group, and Julia was tenth in her age group.  I’m sworn to secrecy regarding the number of people in their age groups, but Allie came home with a big medal.

Upon arriving  home, Julia made her best cake ever: a  three layer chocolate and peanut butter birthday cake.

We ate a birthday dinner of meat and potato pasties, purchased from a bakery in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

We are in the final stretch for getting Justin’s caregivers in place, doctors’ appointments, durable medical equipment updates, and adult children back to school.  In the event that everything works out, confirmation will be evidenced by no blog posts for a few weeks.  I’m hoping that my next post will detail new travels, instead of  an explanation for why things didn’t work out.  There are a lot of moving pieces at this point.
