A daily journal of our lives (begun in October 2010), in photos (many taken by my wife, Evie) and words, mostly from our home on Chautauqua Lake, in Western New York, where my wife Evie and I live, after I retired from teaching English for forty-five years in Hawaii, Turkey, and Ohio. We have three children, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandsons, as you will notice if you follow my blog, since we often travel to visit them. Photo: 10/18/26 at 7:51 AM
