Taken Too Soon

Vixen and her family lost baby Collin yesterday. Although there are no words that can be  spoken to ease the loss and pain they are feeling, please keep them in your prayers.

They Even Had The Sirens On

The other night Hubs and I were outside doing yard work and a fire truck and ambulance pulled up to a neighbors house. Sadly, the first though I had was “I hope they paid their money”. See, we live in a County Island  which means we have no “City of ____”  police, fire, etc.  If [...]

Why I Need A Job

We have a bathroom downstairs that is rarely used. If company is over that is the bathroom they use, but other than that it just sits and looks pretty.
I was cleaning the bath tub the other day (which I do every week, although no one has ever used it) and noticed the shower curtain still [...]

B.O.R.I.N.G.

I am happy to report that the painting is done. There were no spills and even better no paint on the ceiling which is my typical painting trademark.
I am unhappy to report though as I was cleaning up the last of my efforts, Noodle announced that the laptop was dead. Seems we need a new [...]

Me: No, I can’t get the blinds down. Have everything else cut in though 2 finish primer.
