After all the losses, especially in the spring, and world problems like a pandemic and social unrest in the States, I didn’t feel like blogging much for a while. But I’m feeling a lot better again and it’s time I show you what we’ve been up over the summer! Like … » full post and pics!
RIP Smokey
Soon I’ll be blogging about our summer adventures, but first I unfortunately have another RIP post, this time for one of our beloved kitties. Smokey was a master cuddler and usually slept in between us or on our pillows. He would meow without sound and wink at you. On August … » full post and pics!
RIP Jon McCaulder
In June we had to say goodbye to yet another loved one… our friend Jon had been battling health problems connected to kidney failure since many years. Getting a new kidney in 2011 improved his health for quite a while. But eventually it failed too and he ended up back … » full post and pics!
RIP Dad: Harry Breeuwer
I would’ve never thought I’d ever have four “rest in peace” blog posts in a row. It all happened over the course of a good month, so I did not feel like work or putting up any cheerful posts in between. I also never thought I’d really have to say … » full post and pics!

Nothing much has … » full post and pics!
Physical distancing, social connecting
The world sure looks nice outside. The snow is disappearing, the temperatures are rising. But we know things are crazy out there. The coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic has brought the whole world to its knees like we’ve never seen before. To bring it to a halt, or at least slow it … » full post and pics!
Flashback: Jeffery Straker at the cabin
flashback /ˈflæʃ.bæk/ – a blog post that goes back to events in the past 🙂
I’ve been adding some old photos from 2012 and 2013 as (backdated) blog posts with galleries. One was really deserving of writing a flashback for: a weekend with friends at the lake and Jeffery Straker … » full post and pics!
