Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →
It’s Saturday, the bar is almost ready to open, and Cheryl is giving us a preview of how things are going to be. She’s been sneaking us in for 13 weeks, so one more week on the sly won’t matter. While we’re here, we will wrestle with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt:... 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 →
It’s the umpteenth Saturday without a real bar to go to, but Cheryl keeps sneaking us into this place. That’s important. We have things to discuss and we need to do our part to inch the economy forward. Oh, and we need to try to wrap our heads around Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness... Continue Reading →

Hill’s fun weekly series One-Liner Wednesday. If you... 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 →
Last week, I needed to go shopping. That’s a new experience. This wasn’t grocery shopping or shopping in any establishment deemed essential by our state government. This was shopping at WoodCraft, a woodworking tool store – 100% non-essential…according to some. However, to a guy planning to renovate a workshop, this stuff is pretty much essential...

Last Thursday, I posted a series of doors found on the building that houses the Connecticut Historical Society Museum and several of the artifacts on display in the museum. Several comments on that post were from people with memories of cast iron stoves, both wood-fired and electric. History comes alive when we have a personal... Continue Reading →
