Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →
If you were following this blog last summer, you might remember that I tried taking a bit of a break. The plan was that I would only share photos on Mondays. Of course, this is me, so words were involved. Still, Mondays from late June to early September are among my shortest posts. Ironically, they... Continue Reading →
We are busy doing some much-needed yard work this week. Dirt and sod have been delivered and, if things go according to plan, I will erase the perimeter ruts created by Maddie and her three predecessors. I had planned to start this project last week, but the dirt couldn’t be delivered until Monday. That gave... Continue Reading →
I mentioned this project on Saturday, but out of kindness, I decided not to describe it in great detail. If you've been following me for a while, you know that project descriptions are a slippery slope with me. I'm going to try to either keep this short or interesting. Short is unlikely, and interesting depends... Continue Reading →
As in we’re not going stir crazy at the No Facilities Bar. We’re trying to keep our good humor about us as we work around Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. This week, we have: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘deep.’ Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!”... Continue Reading →
Here we are at another multi-purpose Saturday. We’re going to gather at the bar, and work on Linda’s Just Jot it January and Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompts. I rarely watch movies, and yet: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘movie title.’ Take the title of the last movie you watched... Continue Reading →
Sorry, I couldn’t resist a play on words. ‘Mission’ in this case, refers to the furniture style, not some grand undertaking – although, this was no easy project. I love mission style furniture, but like most of the things in my life, I’m not a stickler for details. That’s a play on words too, since... Continue Reading →
About a year and a half ago, I was finishing work on a new coffee table for my office. Earlier this year, I shared some pictures of the finished table for Jesh’s “Made from Trees” prompt. Both posts prompted questions about what would happen to the table when I retired. At both points, retirement was... Continue Reading →
I follow Jesh’s All Seasons blogfest, but I’ve never participated. Her topic this week – Made from Trees – is close to my heart, so I thought I’d cheat and enter the post I wrote about my current coffee table. Well, it seems I didn’t really write one. Oh, I wrote several posts where I... Continue Reading →
Wow! It’s the end of July. Last week, when it was the 23rd of July, I thought, “July sure is taking it’s time.” Now, it’s yielding the floor to August and before long, leaves will be turning colors and we’ll be preparing for winter. OK, maybe I’m rushing a few seasons a bit. We are... Continue Reading →
