And so, Mom was here for three weeksish. She’s back now, and returned to the coldest day on record. Sorry, Ma. We managed all that togetherness without an argument. Which hasn’t happened in like, ever. Mom did get a chest infection and spent most of the time sleeping or watching British crime dramas. On her IPad. It was kinda surreal.

Consider this a belated ‘If we were having coffee’ post. Hi. First, I would like to thank all of you who recently, and not so recently, clicked the button to read my ramblings. I appreciate every one of you. And I didn’t know there were so many, many flooring and sanding companies out there. So that’s neat. Life in the frosty north has been ticking along.
