Good luck with the new Rogue, dear daughter

Wonderful choice. The Kia Soul had to go, terrific daughter Elisabeth reported in her text. It was inspection time, and her trusted mechanic could work a miracle no more. So meetings were set and negotiations settled. Spiffy, says Dad. A gorgeous new Nissan Rogue sits in the driveway in front of Elisabeth and George Three’s…

Good spring for our rhodo

Pretty in pink. My dear wife Karen and I have noted how our lone rhododendron plant out back has flourished in spring 2024 like no other season so far. It must have liked the warm winter.

A little lift
