My wonderful and talented niece was in a musical this evening. Naturally, as many of us who could- went and admired her growing and amazing talents in so many theater areas. She sings, dances, taps, speaks, acts, and adds so much to the production that it is astonishing. I would brag on her if she…

We got a bit of the white fluffy stuff yesterday and I went looking for our bent, light weight shovel and it is nowhere to be found. Moving makes locating anything and everything a challenge. Having a heart condition and using a heavy shovel is probably not smart, but that was all I could find.…

Most people have sink clogs, tub clogs, toilet clogs, but yesterday we had a vacuum hose clog that baffled me. We have a dog so a clog in the hose is not unheard of, but it turned out to be a walnut shell. Not just a piece of a shell but a perfect half. Typically…

We have a number of banks that we deal with, but we were thinking about opening a local account. My husband recently inherited some money so we had a check from the lawyer and it seemed like the perfect opportunity. We have been talking about consolidating and making it easier to keep track.

Things are coming together. I unearthed the washer and dryer from the sea of boxes. They both work perfectly, so we now have clean dry clothes hanging in closets. No small accomplishment there.

After a whirlwind trip back to Missouri to clean and grab the last of everything, taking a shower in my own warm bathroom was wonderful. The old farm house always had its charms, but central heat was not one of them. The bathroom was one of the coldest rooms in the house. We are so…

As with all adventures there was drama, not only the, sniff, goodbyes to people we care about and animals we have spent time with, but vehicular drama. Have you ever had your breaks pull in one direction and your steering wheel try to spin in another? It turns out that is a costly problem to…

We have returned…and armed with cleaners, duster, carpet cleaner and rags, I am going to blow like a tornado through that house, packing, cleaning and getting it all done so we can blow out again. Shawn with drill in hand is going to remove all the hooks and screws we added, also policing the outdoors…
