We’re born, we live, and we die, and somewhere in between, old age sneaks up on us

Well, 2026 took another one.
We add Tim Curry to the list.
2026 has hit hard with the number of familiar faces we’ve lost.

Dolly Parton died today.
Some might say, well, she was 80, what did you expect?
Dolly seemed timeless, as though she could live on forever.

Most of us are happy to welcome people who choose to make their home here.

Summer Solstice

 

“Things look ordinary until they’re not.”

 We went to town.
