Th adventure continues, we paid to have the electricity moved, turns out the old wire was not reusable, the pipe had been exposed and corroded. So new wire, new shut off, the other box was a fake shut off, this one works. The big move should be Friday. We have a crew of strong men…

While I occasionally enjoy a fruity beverage, a creamy concoction, or a straight-up highball, most of my drinks run to tea, coffee, or soda. Of course, I love hot tea, cold tea, iced tea, spiced tea, fruity tea, and even herbed teas. The same is true of my coffee taste and my brother introduced me…

It isn’t a quest when we have no idea what we’re looking for, but since the warehouse was having a sale, we drove over an hour to find out what they were selling. We did really well finding our treasures, adding to our gift collections, and finding those things that will make life easier for…

While I have not always chosen the easiest path, I rarely deliberately go looking for the hardest way to go. However, there are times when interesting things happen around me. It is not my fault.
