It’s cooler outside, socks and sweaters are back, and instead of everyday ice cream, we are back to Cake of the Week. This can only mean that summer is over. But before we dive too deeply into the leaf pile and pumpkin flavored everything, let’s recap the almost normal Summer of 2021. I’ve already reported … Continue reading Summer 2021 (joy and sadness)

Fashion for Interesting Times

September 29, 2020September 30, 2020 / Lobeholdblog.wordpress.com / Leave a comment
