There's a garage sale sign, hang on.....
Good grief! To say Jim is strange is somewhat inadequate. Weird, wild, plum crazy does not even get anywhere near to how he is. Perhaps bizarre scratches the surface….Out of control nails it. Such is this cracked nut in our RV Club. Does such verbage hurt his feelings or offend him? Nah…I’m sure he thinks, Read more about #178…Weeding, Deadheading and Cleaning Out (Luna)Ticks[…]
I found this beautiful wood box at a garage sale, marked $15, for 10. Plans are for a satin polyurethane inside and out and literally making a foot locker out of it, full of mani / pedi “stuff”! And a perfect top for my purse and swim bag. It’s that time of year I am Read more about #177…Repurpose, Renew and Mums the Word[…]
Amazingly our family made it thru Covid-19 alive, but a few did come down with the virus and only time will reveal if, and what damage. What a sad year with no hugs and kisses and only on a rare occasion did we get to sit together for short moments on a cold patio till Read more about #176…A Mother’s Plea to My Family[…]
Came home to a flooded basement AGAIN, 3rd time in a year! It had rained 14 ” overnight! Somewhat easier to get on top of this as we had added metal feet to some cabinets and furniture and painted children’s blocks under the hope chest and other items. The rugs dried out on the patio.

I believe we live parallel lives. Have you ever noticed when you buy a new vehicle, everyone on the road also has the same, AND in your color? Forever ago I had my gall bladder removed only to discover I was the last person on earth to have that done, as everyone had done that Read more about #174…Life after Death…SSDD[…]
 It happened again! #1daughterconnie and I went shopping at the fave, The Rusty Chandelier and there it was, the dancing picture. I had to have it. That’s me and Russ…..in my “skinny mind” but true when we were dating….not so long ago. Sixteen dollars. So I brought it home and slid it behind a Read more about #173…Treasure From The Rusty Chandelier Disruption Again………[…]
What is normal anymore? The world as I remember more then a year ago is gone. Broke. I never can get beyond broke. If something I treasure gets damaged, a crack..a stain……it’s in the trash and now a memory. Love and respect seems to be out the window. But rather then focusing on the negative Read more about #172…Returning to Normalcy?[…]
Another spring is here. The crocus is up and the daffodils and tulips and non-stop work for the next 6 months. That is why I love winter so much, though I never got my blizzard this year…..but I can do nothing but read IF I want, and piddle with my projects AS I want. But Read more about #171…Crocus, Spray Paint and Next Project[…]
I cannot say enough about Jimmie Hatley and his company EXCEL CUSTOM COATINGS. We had such a terrible flood last summer. JUST remodeled our basement and it rained 10 inches. The drain in the other part of the basement was clogged and it filled up the whole downstairs with 3″ of water before we discovered Read more about #170…The Reveal. After the Flood[…]
Oh my goodness! It’s been a long hard winter. Hard to imagine 4 days ago it was -18 degrees with a wind chill of -35. And wrap all this up in a covid like spider web and it has been a time unprecedented ever in my lifetime. It’s gotten so that I love being home Read more about #169…Sometimes It’s Just Good to Clean/Purge House[…]
