Well, it only took 6 months, but I'm finally putting up the next installment in my giant backlog of photos. This time again I'm linking to an album I made: here. Anything in quote marks is from the post "A Bit of a Train Ride", unless it says it's from my journal. Anything not in quotes is brand new words fresh from my fingers to your face.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to talk to you about blog redesigning. I've been blogging into this exact same template for over ten years, and I've never had a problem with it—but now that I'm learning web design, I'm thinking it's time I changed it up a little. Not sure when, but sometime soon I think I'll overhaul this blog and bring it into the current decade. I'm going to come up with some fun ideas and then see what fun I can have with CSS. I'm thinking something at least as soothing as this layout, but less full of arbitrary circles and with much better typography.
This also explains why, if you're perceptive, you may have noticed I messed up the layout a little. I was just trying to change fonts, but I didn't take a backup of my template first, and it turns out they don't have this ancient template available anymore to roll back to before I customized it. So for a while, you'll have to live with an off-center column layout and some misaligned background dots.
Enjoy the photos!

Loved looking at all those wonderful pictures. I am still amazed that you did all those things.
Hope you are not frozen by now, with all the winter. Grandpa and I just returned from a cruise from San Diego to Ft. Lauderdale through the Panama Canal. We were plenty warm there. Ha. And now we are back in winter for real. Grandma
Aha, so that's where all my comments went! Glad you liked them. Also, I suppose you both already know you're sissies for running off to the tropics. You gotta tough it out like real Amurricans!
Hahahaha. Those Hawaiians aren't real Amurricans? Or Floridians? Or Puerto Ricans? Maybe it should be that we need to tough it out like Minnesotans. Ha. Or former Iowans. Really, it was nice to get away to the tropics, but in truth, I love the cold weather and beautiful snow. It's refreshing. I wouldn't want to live in a climate that doesn't have a real winter, that's for sure.
After all, what's a good homemade pot of soup good for in the middle of hot weather?
Gee, I was thinking of inviting you to come along with us next year but I see now that would be a waste of time and good weather. I mean 77 to 86 would go unwanted. Thus Grandma and I will go again somewhere, next year, alone. I was thinking Fiji, a place you obviously would not like. However, next time I go to the Arctic in January, I will give you a call. Don't wait up for it, All is well here. - 20 last night in Hamilton. More snow predicted tonight and tomorrow. We will survive. Grampa
