#178…Weeding, Deadheading and Cleaning Out (Luna)Ticks

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[…]

#177…Repurpose, Renew and Mums the Word

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[…]

#176…A Mother’s Plea to My Family

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[…]

#175…Another Flood, Another Fall, Mums the Word!

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.

#163…A Dark Time…2020

Like Russ said yesterday, “we didn’t order up this pandemic. It’s not our fault.” Geez, how life has changed. I actually am at a loss of words. We now have had 3 deaths in our town in one day. For a small town as ours, that is a new thing. We were just talking last Read more about #163…A Dark Time…2020[…]

#162…An Old Gal, OLD GLORY and a New Day!

God has so many surprises for us! Who would have thunk the older I get, the more new roads open up before me and then in the middle of Mom in law going into hospice….Merry Christmas happens! I was born into an unwanting family to two young people who could not work things out. My Read more about #162…An Old Gal, OLD GLORY and a New Day![…]

#161…Gathering Thoughts

Yes, why are these pictures in the same sentence? What sense do they make together? This has become the clutter of my mind. This is 2020. I am fast approaching the 1st year anniversary of my sabbatical, a plot to get my life in order and all loose ends tied. A two year plan designated Read more about #161…Gathering Thoughts[…]

#158…Thank you Lord For My Dog

Smokers was a rescue dog. His owners had a baby girl and at the age of 2 they put her out on the grass to walk. He kept knocking her down because he wanted her to throw his ball. We each drove 60 miles to meet up. The man was in tears having had him Read more about #158…Thank you Lord For My Dog[…]

#157…The Irishman Does the River Dance

I had JUST mixed up the pink paint for the basement bath cabinet to apply tomorrow morning. Supper was baking in the oven. Jimmy Hatley told us we could walk on our new polymer floor after 4 today. We did at 5 in our bare feet. Oh how beautiful. At 6 o’clock it was almost Read more about #157…The Irishman Does the River Dance[…]
