Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Almost three years ago, I replaced the deteriorating hinged doors on our garden shed with sliding (barn) doors. I made a few compromises during that installation, because I thought I would be installing vinyl siding on the shed the following year. Well, one year became three, the way that they do, and I am finally... Continue Reading →
If you’re familiar with Google’s gMail, you may be familiar with the email-like thingies they toss in at the top of your inbox. They used to behave like the other email, except the box you could check to delete them was on the opposite side. Eventually, probably because everyone deleted the ads, they removed the...

I think I said I was going to take summer Mondays off. I haven’t been, but this seems like a good day to not write. I managed to get a few nice pictures while sitting with Maddie. Then, I got a few more during breakfast. I tossed the remnants from the box of Special K... Continue Reading →
More than anything on Friday, I look forward to receiving the email carrying Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I take a peek, but I try not to think about it, because Linda wants only minimal planning on our part. I like to carry the prompt into the bar and work it into... Continue Reading →
I know, the title sounds like a scam. It’s not, it’s for real, and it’s coming to the Hartford, Connecticut neighborhoods that need it the most. The story below is all excerpted from an article in the Hartford Courant. Free, citywide Wi-Fi is coming to Hartford through a public-private partnership between the city, Dalio Education...

Last week, I posted what I considered the last of my doors from Suffield, CT. I replied to a comment (somewhere, I can’t find it) that I really need to get out for another doorscursion. Well, I have to tell you, that did not happen. Since publishing last Thursday’s post, it hasn’t been below 92°f... Continue Reading →
I have been doing the grocery shopping since March, and I think I might be getting the hang of it. It’s been a while since I bought something on sale, only to find its you-need-to-eat-this-by date is tomorrow at 6:00 am. I almost know where everything is in the three stores I visit, except Target... Continue Reading →
Installed isn’t really the right word but I never like it when titles span more than one line, so I didn’t want to go with “I moved the bookcase into its final location.” If you’re not familiar with this project, it began almost two months ago. I would have finished it earlier, but two things... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, so we are gathered are the bar. Cheryl has a surprise for us and Linda, well, Linda G. Hill always has a surprise for us when she brings us her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. This week, she gives us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘check/cheque/Czech.’ Use one, use... Continue Reading →
I have run through most of the doors from my doorscursion into Suffield, CT. I still have lots of locations left, but I don’t know much about them. So, I give you a gallery of interesting looking buildings and doors that I wish I new more about. What I do know is in the captions.... Continue Reading →
