Roy planted his creole tomato seeds a few weeks ago and they are doing very well. He planted those seeds differently than we did last year. In past seasons… Continue reading 02.16.20 Chauvin Produce Company – The Seeds are Planted!

01.26.20 Roy’s back door project

Roy started this "back door project" sometime in October of last year because the bottom of both sides of our back door had rotted and the baseboard next to it was rotted as well. There is no covering over the back door so rain hits the door and was somehow getting in. This blog post… Continue reading 01.26.20 Roy’s back door project

01.11.20 Bits and pieces of dementia writings over the last two years

Since I laid it all out there in my last blog post about recent events in this dementia journey I want to share that I am coming out of the bad spell.

Dementia is an awful little disease. There's really nothing little about it. You get a diagnosis and only share it with your closest friends and family. You do see a few deficiencies you haven't had before but you work around it and go on. Then you can't read words well, sometimes. You don't remember things… Continue reading 01.09.20 Dementia is an awful little disease

The lightning flashes were almost blinding, the rain hitting the windows was deafening and the strong gust winds rocked the train from side to side.
