After playing with one of the demo units at the Apple Store for a little while and much deliberation, I decided to take the plunge and buy an iPad. The next thing I needed to decide was which model. I’d wandered the App Store earlier in the day and calculated … Continue reading →
When we bought the house in Central Texas, it had been plumbed for four bathrooms, but only two bathrooms had been completed. Two clawfoot tubs were sitting in the side yard. When we had the garage built, we moved the two tubs into the garage to get them out of … Continue reading →
