I very much dislike the end or the start of Daylight Savings Time! I don’t understand its purpose, and why we even do it. All I know is it messes up my body clock for weeks…both spring and fall. I keep hearing that we’re getting rid of it, but y’all know how politician work…especially in …
I don’t know about you, but this year is speeding by. In some ways, that’s a good thing. But, I’m also a firm believer in not wishing your life away. Do you remember that old saying: “If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb” or vice versa? Our March …
OK, I definitely forgot that today was the 10th until about 4:00 in the afternoon! There are days, right? I wallpapered an accent wall in the primary bathroom Saturday. I didn’t start until a little after 1:00pm. Things were going OK for a hot minute. Then, I came to the first cut. Here’s the thing …
Did y’all notice there wasn’t any Final Friday post last week? I have to tell you I spent days doing all the reading for my first “real” docent training class. They said it was quick reading…hahaha!!! But, you can ask me about ancient Egypt and the civilizations that came after, and I might have an …
Many of you will think I’m nuts, but it has been glorious here! We got eleven inches of snow earlier this week! It’s been cold so that snow has stuck around, and I love it! We’re supposed to get some more, but I’m not holding my breath. Those weather forecasters can’t be right twice in …
Can I just tell you how weird it is to be writing 2025? I remember, when I was a kid, figuring out how old I was going to be in the year 2000. The answer was ancient, of course! Now, it seems like Y2K and all of that business was a lifetime ago. I suppose, …
While this isn’t the “Hey, guys, guess what? Nigel’s walking!” post I’d like to write, the good news is we met with the surgeon today. First off, Nigel had worn his Wabash College coat. Nigel went to Purdue; our oldest (and a whole lot of our money) went to Wabash College. But, so did Nigel’s …
Friends, I have to admit I took the lazy route on this one. I am tired. I am exhausted in every inch of my body. I realize many have more on their plate than I do, but I’m just plain worn out. So, I went easy on me and, maybe, on you. I would also …
Not much new on the home front when it comes to Nigel’s recovery. He had another appointment on Monday. The surgeon, quite frankly, is beginning to worry me. Maybe he’s just thinking out loud, but he’s confused about the images he sees on the x-rays. He did say the fracture is healing, but where the …
After a long and dry October, November promises to be cooler and wetter! I admit it. I love a rainy day. The primary bedroom faces west so I can’t really tell what the weather is until I open my eyes. And, I’m always secretly delighted when it’s rainy and overcast. Yes, I am in my …
