Weekend Projects
This weekend EJ and I discussed projects that we need to accomplish and when they need to get done. We have three vehicles but to save money we have insurance on only two of them. EJ and JJ both need vehicles to get to… Continue Reading “Weekend Projects”
GPS Meltdown
JJ had his periodic appointment with his oncologist today to make sure he is still cancer free. I went with him because he doesn’t want to go to medical appointments alone–especially not to oncologists. I wouldn’t want to either. We’ve only been to this… Continue Reading “GPS Meltdown”
Duck Love
It was very foggy and rainy all day today. I think the fog makes the landscape very pretty, although I worry a bit when my guys have to drive through thick fog. Because of remodeling we had done over the years at the old… Continue Reading “Duck Love”
The End of February
I’m surprised that I haven’t written since February 17th. Time went fast. The second half of February has gone better than the first half, although I do feel a bit worse for wear. I have mostly been busy crocheting. I have an order for… Continue Reading “The End of February”
Turkey Whisperer
This morning as EJ was driving off to work, he saw a large flock of turkeys, which he guessed might be headed to our place. He was right. Ever since the first turkey found our bird feeders, the turkeys have been appearing every two… Continue Reading “Turkey Whisperer”
Snow Fun
Here in the North, we’ve had snowstorms and lake effect snow. It’s been snowing constantly for days–meteorologists say that we’ve gotten 1-4 inches of snow per hour at times. I’m not sure exactly how many inches of snow we’ve gotten. In the unshoveled areas near the… Continue Reading “Snow Fun”
A Walk Through the Woods On a Snowy Afternoon
I do not think we got as much snow last night as the meteorologists predicted, although we did get a lot of snow. The meteorologists said that the snow would stop and then we’d get lake effect snow for the next few days. I… Continue Reading “A Walk Through the Woods On a Snowy Afternoon”
The Things That Bring Me Joy
Maybe because our calendars clicked over into a new year, I’ve been thinking of a lot about our lives now and then. Of course, I’ve been thinking about now and then ever since we moved to our new home, so maybe it doesn’t have… Continue Reading “The Things That Bring Me Joy”
Winter Storm
I am very thankful that the high winds caused us to lose our power on December 24-26 because it motivated us to buy a propane heater and a generator so that we are all set for Monday and Tuesday when the weather is supposed… Continue Reading “Winter Storm”
Different Than Expected
There are a lot of things about our Enchanted Forest that are other than I expected. It’s not bad, it’s just different than my expectations. I think that even though a person might imagine what it would be like to live in a different sort… Continue Reading “Different Than Expected”
Enchanting Forest Flutist
This morning EJ and I went to the Secretary of State–in other states called the Department of Motor Vehicles–to get a license plate for the “new” Suburban and get the title in our name and all that sort of thing. EJ also called the… Continue Reading “Enchanting Forest Flutist”
Saruman’s Spies
EJ had some physically difficult days at work this last week, and he was utterly exhausted, so I have encouraged him to rest this weekend. Yesterday I made challah bread for the first time in a long time, and I fixed a beautiful Shabbat… Continue Reading “Saruman’s Spies”
Turkeys and Other Stuff
We have decided to stay north again this weekend. The weekend before last–when we drove south in the middle of the night, right after EJ got out of work, so we could be at the old house to let in the guys installing the… Continue Reading “Turkeys and Other Stuff”
Enchanted 4th
We did not drive the long journey south to the old house this weekend. Not only did we not want to travel on a busy holiday weekend–it’s the USA’s Independence Day–but after all the weekends at the old house, we wanted to experience a… Continue Reading “Enchanted 4th”
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”
