I was down in the basement, doing laundry the other day, and I saw some little wood choppers hanging on my clothes line. Really. You can see their little axes, and also notice that some assembly is still required. A little investigation, and I found their legs: Papa has been making interesting things for the …

It’s raining out, one of those cold, gray days that make me miserable. Dreary. Papa and I are taking off for a long weekend, if nothing else goes wrong around here. D3 is home with pneumonia, she can’t return to work for a few days. There is good news, D1’s illness is diagnosed and surgery …

We had a wonderful weekend, seeing our little grandchildren and enjoying an early family Christmas celebration. We were missing GS2, who stayed home for his basketball practice, and Step-Dad, who had a cold. The kids received several gifts, and it was hard to tell which was the biggest hit. The most fun for the spectators …

I know your remember my arbor, I cut down and dug out the roses and planted Morning Glories this year. On July 8, they were started up. You can see the twine I added to give they somewhere to climb. On August 15, the thing was ready to take over the world. We couldn’t walk …

Thanks to all of you who sent good wishes, and commented on my hunting trip. I do have a couple more comments (of course). S-dad came to help us, and we had quite a morning yesterday, while Papa cut, S-Dad cut or washed, and I wrapped. We cubed on a lot of the steak, and …

Yesterday morning I needed to get to JoAnn Fabric and get some deals. I was so eager, I arrived before the place opened. On the way back, right here, three deer ran in front of my car. Well, two ran in front of it. I got the other one. This happened in a spot two …

D3 is sick now, pretty sick. She was in bed all of yesterday, she has what I would call the flu, but the clinics and hospitals call a virus. Headache, digestive symptoms, you get the idea. I don’t know if she’ll be able to work today, but I’m betting against it. It took D1 and …

When I was a kid, company was special, “COMPANY is coming, clean your room”. We cleaned everything twice, better than usual. It made company seem like inspectors. We have company right now, GS1 is home. I’m not sure he’s company, some of his items reside here when he doesn’t. He’ll be here until December 17th, …
