Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
A couple of weeks ago, I included some pictures of the ramp I built to our front entrance. Several people mentioned it in their comments. I started to explain the project, and then I remembered that I wrote about the ramp back in 2013. I know I said I wasn’t going to write much on... Continue Reading →
I’m wrapping-up a busy few days, so I’m going to touch a lot of bases lightly. Pardon the baseball reference, but the MLB Network replayed Game-7 of the 1979 World Series today. That’s the last time the Pittsburgh Pirates won a World Series. Feast or Famine – During the nine, ten or however many weeks... Continue Reading →
Some readers may recall that I gave The Editor a new entry door for Christmas. Not to be outdone, she gave me the companion storm door. Who says old married couples can’t be romantic? The plan was to wait for a two-day break in the weather and install the entry door one day and the... Continue Reading →
A Little D-I-Y Project – When I replaced the stacked mini-decks that serve as stairs to the back yard, I anchored them in the same corner, where the fence meets the porch, as the previous stairs.

For Christmas, The Editor gave me a new entry door for our family room. I gave her a matching storm door. Who says there’s... Continue Reading →
I saved one picture from the group taken while I was cutting up the old steps in order to get them in the dumpster. If you look carefully at the cut line you can see that I was forcing the tool, trying to get through the board faster. If my dad were still alive, he... Continue Reading →
We are back at the bar, hoping to have some pleasant conversation, an adult beverage and maybe a bite to eat. While we’re at it, we’ll try to work around Linda G. Hill’s world-famous Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I wonder what Linda gave us this week: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday... Continue Reading →
It’s Saturday, and time once again to try to work Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt into our conversation at the bar. Linda has given us an interesting challenge, but I think we’re up to it. “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘ght.’ Find a word that contains the letters...
