Possibilities
We are making good progress packing up the house. All the rooms, closets, and drawers are nearly empty except for the kitchen and bathroom. I am leaving those for last. After that I will have to work on the back porch and basement. I’m… Continue Reading “Possibilities”
Nice & Boring
The days of this summer are passing by with one day blending into another without much change. I don’t mind that. Sometimes co-workers ask EJ “How’s life?” When he replies, “Nice and boring,” they respond, “What? Really? No, you want it EXCITING!” EJ says,… Continue Reading “Nice & Boring”
Busy Doing Nothing
This morning my phone rang at about 6:30 a.m. I saw it was from my sister-in-law and my mind immediately leaped to a list of possible bad news. People, especially family, don’t call during sleeping hours unless something is wrong. Bracing myself, I answered… Continue Reading “Busy Doing Nothing”
Interesting Things
On Monday, EJ and I went to the book sale at the library. We can’t resist book sales. We ended up buying another couple dozen books for $3.20. As we arrived at the library, we saw an older man on foot pull a good-sized… Continue Reading “Interesting Things”

The Apple Thief
After JJ left for school and we had eaten breakfast and cleared a bit of sleepiness from our heads, EJ and I drove to our friend RB’s place in the country to get a load of the firewood that he said we could have.… Continue Reading “The Apple Thief”
Scarborough Tea
I thought today was going to be a difficult day because I stayed up much too late with EJ and I got up much too early with JJ. I like to greet EJ when he comes home from work and I like to fix… Continue Reading “Scarborough Tea”
There And Back Again
JJ starts college this coming Monday. We have been teaching him the route to the college by having him drive us there and back again several times over the last couple months. The last time he drove us to the college, I wrote down… Continue Reading “There And Back Again”
A Crappy Life
Lately I have had a rather crappy life. I mean, really. One of our cats has had diarrhea. Badly. I was constantly discovering it and cleaning it up and mopping the floors. I’ve also dumped out and washed the litter boxes because the cat… Continue Reading “A Crappy Life”
Laundry Day
Today we did laundry. When we first moved into our house, the washer and dryer were in the unfinished basement. I had to constantly run down to the basement through our unheated very-cold-in-the-winter back porch to do laundry. So when we redid our downstairs… Continue Reading “Laundry Day”
