End of an era.
Nine years. 125,000 (more or less) miles. Lots of memories. Yesterday I sold my trusty 2005 Lexus GX470. It was in immaculate shape when I bought it. Now it is not. Along the way it has pulled all sorts of trailers, been through mountains and mud, and handled pretty much everything that was thrown at it. I will miss it, but will try to replace it with another first generation GX.
Walks, raised beds, and swings.
I went for a walk at Yanahli after taking Luke to school. I did quite a bit of work outside before building Liz a raised garden bed out of some short cedar boards. I will try to build at least one more. My final act was hanging Luke’s new swing from the beech tree in the front yard.

2025 book 14.
