A Cat In the Family Now
It was rather impulsive but last month we bought a new boat. It started with a sort of sketchy uncertain plan for all four of us Fuchses to sail somewhere together. Jake is sort of missing boat life. We miss Jake. It seems like a good thing. The only problem was our Moody’s lack of […]
Wichita Mountains Hike
Lily and I are playing around in Oklahoma this week. We spent yesterday catching up with Carl and Faye. Today, we went with Toni and Danny for a hike on Dog Run Trail in the Wichita Mountains. It was a little grey for working on my photography but awesome fall weather for the hike. Posting […]
