Snug as a bug

So, Lloyd said that I had to use the “what’s weird about the living room” post yesterday so that I could show you our new rug today. Yes, there’s a new rug in the house! The youth group at church had a very nice spaghetti dinner and silent auction to raise money for their trip [...]

An outlet for his frustration.

Lloyd has neatness issues when it comes to electrical cables and cords. Well, it has bothered him for some time that all my computer stuff has been plugged into an outlet in the kitchen and looks so messy. Yeah, that’s what people would notice in our house – the messy cables.
