Got more windows installed today–kitchen garden window and start of garage window–plus completion of interior trim around all other windows. Great to be nearing the end of this project, but the mess that erupted from the garden window is far more than I expected. Everything in the kitchen, dining room and living room is covered […]

…or so they are now! Got home from work, hauling in groceries and pet food. The house was hot since it had been closed up all day and the temps outside are in the 90’s. I started opening windows and doors, walking through the family room to open the sliding door. That’s when I saw […]

The family room is cleaned and reorganized top to bottom–finally! Still have to paint the walls and ceiling as well as recarpet the floor, but that will all happen after the new windows and door are installed sometime in September. In the process of moving stuff around I somehow hurt either my leg or my […]

The window contractor showed up this afternoon and started installing my new windows! Because of his recently broken leg and resulting surgery, he’s not able to do much himself, but his son and another worker are able to do lots of the heavy lifting and he mostly supervises. So far they’ve put in all the […]

I’ve spent most of the day today (Thursday) reorganizing the family room. Needed to move 4 bookcases in order to clear one of them away from a back window so the window installers can get in there. Really only needed to shift one bookcase, but it turned out to be easier to just shift all […]

Am not getting much done around here during my last few days of vacation. I made the mistake of turning on the tv… The Olympics have drawn me in–I’ve become addicted. And they are on almost 24/7 on various cable channels. Have seen lots of swimming, gymnastics and basketball, and am now watching the shotput […]

Don’t get me wrong, I had a great time on vacation. But I am glad to be home and sleeping in my own bed once again. And also am glad to have the flying part over and done with. Why don’t they invent something that will get you back and forth quicker? I’m all for […]

Finally got a minute to post a little about the trip…it’s been almost nonstop activity since arriving 8 days ago. Began with leaving at 5 am on Friday, 8/6, for a trip to the Fenton Glass Factory in West Virginia and then on to Raleigh, NC for my neice Harmony’s wedding. Trip was long–about 12 […]

I hardly know where to begin, so much has happened…So I guess I’ll try to start from where I last left off, more or less at the beginning. Decided to clean out my closet and dressers on Thursday, and wound up with 6-8 large trash bags filled with clothes that I am certain I will […]

Don’t get me wrong…I have nothing against anyone who believes in God and who chooses to be involved with any religion they wish. I mean, I work for an Episcopal Church! But I had to tolerate something tonight that I hope will not become a nightly event–TV preaching! The neighbor who moved in about a […]

So I sprayed down some of the bushes growing through my lattice fence with weedkiller! I’ve had it with the asshole behind me and his bushes! Last week his gardeners trimmed the tops of the bushes, dropping branches and trimmings on my side of the fence, on top of my bushes and plants. Now just […]

Lots of changes next season for the Lakers…Shaq has been traded to the Miami Heat, D-Fish signed with Golden State, Karl Malone is questionable, and Phil Jackson is out the door….but at least Kobe is staying!!! I have mixed emotions about players leaving and new players coming in, but I’m sure it will all seem […]

Damn it’s hot! Tried to do a few outdoor chores, but wound up bathing in my own sweat after only a short time–and that was this morning! Wound up going shopping at Target this afternoon just to get a bit of relief. Guess a lot of others had the same idea, ’cause it was more […]

By the way, just in case you noticed, the time on my posts is about 6 hours ahead of reality. No way am I up at 5:45 am!!! It’s really 11:45 pm, the night before what you’re seeing. Gotta figure out how to adjust the time…

…and most of it belongs to Kevin! We are now referring to the back wall of the garage as the Kevin wall as it is loaded with this huge stack of storage boxes that mostly say ‘Kevin’ on them. I have quite a bit of stuff, too, as does Patrick–but we live here! He did […]

So, once again, this is my first post. Should really be working out in the garage right now, but can’t seem to get motivated yet…. Am cleaning out the mess, trying to get rid of as much as possible to make room for my new storage cabinets. Would like to have them be usable space–not […]
