Yes, I just finished the painting in the living room. I folded up the ladder, put away the work light and did a little dance.
I’ve been enjoying my time away. I’ve organized a few things - including my schedule. I’ve moved my bedtime up to 10 PM and included an hour of [...]

It was in the high 60s today in Viriginia. The sun was shining, a gentle breeze blew. I raked leaves with the assistance of a young boy who enjoys ruffling his feet through the leaves. He chases his dogs and then hugs them when he catches them. He sits at the [...]

I’m going to be taking an unexpected blog break due to overwhelming projects that started up like lambs and turned into lions…including, painting of our living room and laundry room makeover - which will probably have some painting in there as well.
So, I’ll be back when I clear some of the rubble. Right now [...]

It’s now 11:23PM and I am still awake. I don’t know why. I honestly can’t remember the last time I stayed up until Midnight on New Year’s Eve…it might have been 10 years ago - my last New Year’s in Wisconsin. But honestly, I don’t remember.
The passing of one year [...]

Another year on the calendar. Another three months of writing 2005 on my cheques. What else do I need the year for anymore. The rest is just all automatic. My computer, my VCR, my watch….they just change the number. It means absolutely nothing really.
I used to write a [...]

Yesterday was almost a perfect day. We honored the Lord, spent quality time with our family, and everyone enjoyed giving gifts (and receiving, too). Our crabfeast went over very well. Gil did all the cooking - boiled crab, steamed shrimp and fried oysters. I was very blessed by that. Even [...]

I am still trying to get all the outdoor Christmas stuff up. I have all the lights up, but Gil had already taped the plugs to keep the rain out. So, I have two strands that need to be let into the loop.
And I don’t have a wreath. No energy [...]

Maybe by the time I get to the bottom of this cup of peppermint tea, my sinuses and head will have cleared. It’s been that kind of a day for me - orange juice, tea, orange juice, tea, bathroom break - repeat, not necessarily in that order. While Bump seems to have bounced [...]

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Our nephew’s wife came home from the family Thanksgiving bash in DC with a case of the Chicken Pox. She’s 36 years old. Her doctors have quarentined her to the house for the last 10 days. She emailed me last night and said that she’s miserable. Of course, Chicken Pox are [...]
