My husband baked a Meyer lemon pie. He doesn't bake, so this was a big deal. An old high school friend sent him a box of lemons from California. Also a big deal. Thank you. Thank you. #ME2AK #MeyerLemonPie #HusbandBakes #Friendship
On a lighter note, I ordered seeds. Does this mean I'm hopeful? #ME2AK #InTheGarden #JohnnysSeeds

Hanging out with my uncle for a bit after my aunt passed. The things you learn from your elders. Did you know they make soup for cats? And the darn cat doesn't even eat the shrimp bits. #CharlieTheCat #Eldercare #ME2AK #BackEast
