Fitting for my day.

I came home tonight to a package in the mail. I thought it might be something I was expecting from a relative, but no – it was from Peggy! Woo-hoo!! Upon opening, it was a darling package of scratch paper. I adore homemade paper – my sister used to make it, y’know. Beautiful! Say, they’re [...]

Her name was Jaime

I got a haircut a couple of weeks ago, and wasn’t real thrilled with it. Lloyd rolls his eyes when I complain about my hair because I don’t ”Build a Relationship” with ”Someone Who Knows What They’re Doing”. Nope. I’m a big fan of the walk-in method of hair shortening. Today I had a goal [...]

Water always wins

We’ve had some giant black ants invading the kitchen, and the traps didn’t seem to be working. Lloyd was on a rampage to get all surfaces clear of Ant Attractants, and even went so far as to pull the fridge out so we could clean back there. Unfortunately, when we pushed the fridge back, we [...]

Flowers for Tiny Moms

Happy Mother’s Day! To our own moms, especially, but also to all the moms out there. You ladies are amazing! We have a bush out by the garden shed that has little white blossoms all over it. I have no idea what it’s actual name is, nor do I care. We had the same kind [...]

Well, hello there, long lost friend.

There was another surplus auction today, and it was the best one ever, for a reason that only matters to me. I was scanning the shelves of printers, scanners, various electronic do-dads, and saw this: I thought, “Hey, that looks like the one we had when I was a kid.” Then I got closer and [...]
