Wabedo Giggles
Hand feeding chipmunks and birds, walking in the woods, making and eating yummy food, reading!

Playing games – including the Duncan version of Slap Dash (which they call Pounce and has slightly different rules… and which resulted in the phrase “I pulled a Diana!”). 😊

Listening to this conversation between Ida and her cousin Mackinzie:
I: You make me laugh.
M: Oh? How so?
I: You make me laugh.
M: How am I funny?
I: You make me LAUGH.
M: How do I make you laugh?
I (patiently, as though explaining a very complicated idea): You MAKE me LAUGH.
😁

More giggles
When I arrived up north and changed into shorts, I discovered that while I definitely remembered shaving two legs that morning….it turned out that both of those legs were my right leg. Hahahaha!

More good stuff
Soooo grateful to every Past Diana who has prepped the coffee before bed so it’s ready to go in the morning. Past Dianas are SO good to morning Dianas.

Fun meeting Sarah’s coworkers at the company picnic. And hey – I finally got out to see Rindo’s art IRL. Only took me what, 6 years? 😉

Almost finished building the run for the chickens. Coop is next and then they get to move outside!

Celebrating our 1-year Bestie-Roomie-versary with Sarah. I am so lucky to have her in my life!

Fun road trip up to the cabin with Sarah & Ida! Harry Potter audiobook, interesting conversation, and the excitement of heading out of town. 🙂

Road trip adventure..tree down over the road that leads to the cabin…fell down in the 4 hours between Alisa’s arrival and ours. Thanks for the chainsaw rescue, Bob! 😉

Cabin welcome. Arrived just in time for steak dinner. What?!? Oh yes, so happy Alisa & Bob were celebrating their anniversary in style. Lucky us! Happy Anniversary. Thank you! 🙂

Cabin cabinating. Coffee on the porch, listening to the wind in the trees, birds wings, chipmunk sounds. Smelling the woodsy air. So so good.

Cabin walking. Trees. Mushrooms. Trees.

You’ll notice some changes in the look of this blog in the coming days. I’m making some changes and playing with some new features. Thanks for your patience while the site undergoes who knows what kinds of goofiness! 😊

If you’re looking for a giggle today, you might check out this article. A few of these tweets made me laugh out loud. Happy Tuesday, folks!
