Good News!

I was able to sell my house! Yay! What a relief! I contacted a couple of companies who buy homes to fix up and flip. The first one was a bust, but the second gentleman bought the house! So, we have about a month of crazy, frantic packing, etc. and then we will bid ourContinue reading “Good News!”

An Update

Ah, my friends it has been too long! I just wanted to update you on why it has been so long! As you may or may not know, I broke three toes on my right foot about 2.5 weeks ago. Yeah, I’m THAT graceful! I tripped, went down and when I was finally able toContinue reading “An Update”

A Stumble and a Break

Ah, clumsiness, my old friend. What did she do now? Oh, just broke my foot! I’m nothing if not an overachiever! And yes, since I never broke a bone as a child or even young adult, I’m making up for lost time! As a child my parents had a special addendum added to their insuranceContinue reading “A Stumble and a Break”

Are You a Library Lover?

Happy Library Lover’s Day! Well, technically it’s not until Monday (along with St. Valentine’s Day,) but since I don’t blog on Mondays, I figured that you could get a quick start on some of my favorite books/authors. First, I would like to list a little known, newer author. She came to speak at a localContinue reading “Are You a Library Lover?”

Drive Safely!

Just wanted to take this chance to wish you all a happy new year! Also, to remind you to drive safely. Child #2 and I took a trip over to the big town about 35 minutes from home today and were appalled at the people running red lights, riding down the lane-separating lines, and havingContinue reading “Drive Safely!”

I Had to Laugh

I will say that there is an awful lot out there of which to make fun when it comes to people’s driving habits. I generally keep up a running commentary while in the car. Today had to be the best, though. Child #2 and I were grocery shopping a few towns over. We were inContinue reading “I Had to Laugh”

Tough Times

First, I want to apologize for forgetting to post last night. I was actually clearing off some things from my bed when I tripped and fell. I ended up smacking my ribs, knees, and right wrist pretty badly. I’m in quite a bit of pain now, hence writing to you slipped my mind. I willContinue reading “Tough Times”

Thankful…Not Thankful

Just a few days ago I purchased this adorable bird. I find this kind of decoration adorable. Imagine my surprise when it rang up at 75 percent off! Um…pardon me? We are less than a week past Halloween, and nowhere near to Thanksgiving, but this clearly Thanksgiving-ish decoration is 75 percent off? What gives? Now,Continue reading “Thankful…Not Thankful”

Prayers for My Neighbors

Last night there was a flash of light in my living room window. We looked out to see the police chief and a deputy standing there. I went to greet them on the front porch. They wanted to know if I had called them. I said “No” and then they proceeded to tell me thatContinue reading “Prayers for My Neighbors”

Adding New Life with Paint

Have you ever seen one of these beauties at your local resale shop and just could not stop yourself from putting it in your cart for rescue? I do love birdhouses. When I see one that has been thoroughly abused by a paintbrush, I find it hard to pass it up. I mean, I couldContinue reading “Adding New Life with Paint”
