What a wonderful addition to Memoir Monday! I really enjoyed learning more about you Lizelle!

Thank you!

Thanks @shamis!

They're great together. Thank you!

Thank you!

That's certainly been the case so far. Unfortunately we broke the 20+ year streak for our annual trips in 2023 and I'm not sure if they'll resume but we still get together once every few months. Thank

Thanks for contributing to Memoir Monday Tony! I really enjoyed reading about your younger days in Cuba. I'd like to visit Cuba some day.

Happy 2025 and I'm glad to hear you are seeing the finish line with the house!

That would be such a pain! I wonder how hard it would be to run that power line? The wiring to our condo thermostat was like a literal rat's nest. The electrician we hired surrendered and gave up while
