At least 3 nights a week, Snake gives me a backrub before bed. It’s our time to relax and just enjoy time together after the day is over.

We got to go to Portland about a week and a half ago–literally just before restaurants were going to shut down again for indoor dining.

OK. I admit it. One of MY favorite times are our evenings together. We’ve developed a bit of a ritual? pattern? Whatever. Something we really love doing on several nights a week.

First, it’s the baths. As often as possible, I draw the bath, put in the fizzy doo-dad, get her settled. I bring in the kindle, water, phone and make sure other things happen that help wrap up the day around the house while she’s chilling in the tub.

When the temperatures start staying in the mid 80s and up, I start doing my daily check of the pool temperature.

As I was laying by the pool, Snake showed up and stood over me. I couldn’t see him when I opened my eyes because of the glare.

So, I got a few presents from Snake last week. He had asked me to look for some different impact toys and I sent him some ideas. Off he went to find them for me.

We were just finishing dinner and you gave me my choice of fortune cookies. The restaurant had been generous and there were 7 to divide between the two of us.

I don’t think it is at all strange that Instagram was full of baking at the beginning of the pandemic. There’s nothing like the smell of baked goods to make me feel happy.

It is date night in.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret–Snake loves strawberries. Well, most fruit. He also has a fondness for mandarin oranges (Clementines or Cuties) and green frozen grapes.
