Is turning out to be quite interesting! We are all bundled in for the storm that was due to hit today. Today we were supposed to get 3-4 inches of snow with sustained winds in the 30+ mph with gusts up to 60+ mph. Saturday is supposed to be more of the same, but the [...]

Have you ever had a relationship with someone where they continually let you down? Time passes, you think the person has changed, gotten better, and you give them the benefit of the doubt again. Things go well for a while, then they let you down yet again. At what point do you give up? When [...]

Those orange things in the box would be the elusive clay pigeons. You can only hunt them while in flight. But the damn things don’t have wings, so you need a launcher…hence the weird metal thing mickey-rigged on a tire rim. Once you’ve shot the clay pigeon, you needn’t clean it, only make sure, when [...]

I have occasionally wondered how things would have differed had I taken the “other” path when I have reached certain forks in the road. An example would be going away to college…would I have been successful? Attained the DVM designation [...]

This morning, I got up, put the ribs for Brian’s belated Birthday Party in the oven. Fed the dogs and made coffee. Then I took a huge mug of coffee and a piece of cherry danish out onto my recently finished front deck. Sitting there I could see the sun slowly rising over the East…steam [...]

Have I mentioned how beautiful the weather is here? I love having all the windows open and allowing the breeze to blow throughout the house. Some days, like yesterday, it’s more of a howling wind, than a light breeze. Because it’s so temperate during the day, the nights get pretty cool…something I count on! When [...]

Where to start? Hmmm. So our house is physically put together, the walk-through was done on Friday, and I have house keys…four to be exact. Four separate house keys; a different one for each doorknob lock and each deadbolt. When a “model” house is built for a showroom, they just slap knobs and deadbolts on [...]

Once in a while…it would be nice if you made the effort to do something for me. Once in a while…it would be nice if you would put my needs before your own. Once in a while…it would be nice if you reminded me why you loved me. Once in a while…it would be nice [...]
