six years

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here.
I’m busy these days. Our lives here in Bellingham are unfolding in wonderful ways. And honestly, diabetes has mostly been on the periphery lately. We’re enjoying the summer weather with its cool pacific breezes and tolerating the odd hot day. We’ve had visitors and we’re having more [...]

a visit from tudiabetes

So, last Sunday, on their way back from Vancouver, Manny and his wife Andreina and his son Santiago stopped by Bellingham for a little visit! It was great to meet them in person. We met at Boulevard Park, where Santiago had a great time on the pirate ship playground, and we had time for a [...]

these long, long days

It’s been a while. A long while. And I’m sorry about that. While I know that blogging only works as long as you have something to say, I wish I’d updated this sooner. Not much has happened here that seemed like something to write about, but I have been busy. First, I got the etching [...]
