Funny Miss Twiggley
This morning as I got out of bed, I glanced out the window and saw a deer grazing right outside. I snuck out to the living room and got my camera, and then snuck back into the bedroom and began taking video and pictures.… Continue Reading “Funny Miss Twiggley”
Projects
The temperature dropped down into the 40’s last night…even though it’s mid-June! I think that is cool (pun intended). The high today was 71. I like the cooler temps. JJ had to be at work at noon today. After he left, the guy EJ… Continue Reading “Projects”
Boundary Markers
Yesterday, a couple of hours after I saw the doe and her two fawns, Danny asked to go out. It was about twilight. During the day I let Danny go outside with us without a leash–unless we are near the road. However, toward evening… Continue Reading “Boundary Markers”
This Land Is Our Land
This morning I began painting our living room. We chose a color called Kira Caramel, which is a neutral beige color that I think is sort of the color of butter. It’s so good to get rid of the dark blue walls! While I… Continue Reading “This Land Is Our Land”
Weekend Busyness
The weekend has been very busy. Friday morning I was barely awake when I got a call from the hospital saying that JJ could have his port out that very day if he wanted to. He also could choose to have a twilight anesthesia when… Continue Reading “Weekend Busyness”
Unfamiliar Things
Last night I looked out the front door and saw a humongous spider on the porch. I texted EJ, “I just saw the biggest spider EVER on our front porch. I need a gun.” It was the size of my hand. Seriously. I took… Continue Reading “Unfamiliar Things”
Running
This morning I started to get out of bed but quickly lay back down–because a doe was grazing right outside our window. I watched her for several minutes as she slowly grazed and then walked into the forest. I wished I had my camera,… Continue Reading “Running”
Mailbox Run and Turkey Trot
This morning JJ, Danny and I walked down the long steep driveway to our new mail box. When JJ got his new smart phone from the cell phone store, I was given a mailing label and told that I had 14 days to return… Continue Reading “Mailbox Run and Turkey Trot”
Unpacking
We continue to unpack and settle into our new house. I began my morning by putting things away in the kitchen. I’m trying to get a feel for where to put things. Like…putting plates or cups where we’d expect to find them, or putting… Continue Reading “Unpacking”
The Big Move
EJ didn’t have to work Friday so he and I drove down to our old house while JJ stayed at the new house to take care of the pets. As we drove away, we checked our mailbox and we had mail! It was the… Continue Reading “The Big Move”
First Days in the Enchanted Forest
We just got Internet installed today! Yay! I’ve been writing each day about our first week in the Enchanted Forest and I can finally post it. Weekend, May 30-31 A week or so before we moved, I worked at hauling junk from the basement.… Continue Reading “First Days in the Enchanted Forest”
Rubic’s Cube and Tetris
This afternoon–as late as I possibly can to reduce Internet withdrawal–I will cancel our Internet service at our old house and we will be disconnected until we can get Internet service at our new house. Hopefully that will not be too long, but the… Continue Reading “Rubic’s Cube and Tetris”
The Best Laid Plans….
Ok, the Plan is that EJ goes to the closing on Friday after work, then he and JJ go to the new house afterwards to drop off the boxes of painting and cleaning supplies, sleeping bags, pots, clothes, and other items that we packed… Continue Reading “The Best Laid Plans….”
Redi-Care
My foot has been hurting more and more–along with a tingling numbness that I’ve felt ever since I fell over the stupid exercise thingy. I was getting concerned that I might have broken my foot. At first I thought that I’d just wait until… Continue Reading “Redi-Care”
The Furnace Guy
The furnace guy came, as expected, at about 11;30 a.m. I let him read the note EJ left for him and then took him down to the basement where he looked at the old furnace and the ducts. The people we bought this house… Continue Reading “The Furnace Guy”
