Intro

I entered middle age a few years ago...okay, a little more than a few. Our daughters are 28 and 26. After they left, I cautiously redecorated their bedrooms. I did the usual, donated "Lucky" brand jeans (left from 3rd grade) and stuffed animals to a local thrift store. Next, I threw away countless plastic bags from "The Gap" and other retailers. Some of them included various amounts of change, which of course I took as my housekeeping fee. Every $6.40 helps!

I slowly bought new furniture items that I liked - a futon and frame, small roll-top desk, area rugs and lamps. One room was starting to resemble my new "office" which would double as a guest room when necessary. One morning as I was getting ready to leave for work, I heard (and felt) a very large boom-crash. I cautiously walked upstairs to find the dust clearing and about half of the ceiling of my new room on the floor. Ah, the joys of owning an antique house...

One man's trash is another man's trash

It was a hot Saturday afternoon here today. Finally, 30 minutes ago, a thunderstorm brought 28 raindrops and cooled it down about half a degree. 
I didn't want to spend much time out in the heat, and I definitely didn't want to work in the upstairs bedrooms, (where it is VERY hot). Instead, I played around on the computer. I decided it was time to update the look of this blog. I apologize to those who do not like change, C'est la vie.



Here are a couple of pictures of different parts of the yard.



The front steps. Do you think I like flowers? 





Part of the back yard showing the back of the house and the "Topsy-turvy" tomato plant.
