I’ve been waking up in the morning (and sometimes during the night) with numb and tingling hands and fingers. According to my mom (who recently had surgery in both hands to correct this) and what I’ve been reading, this is a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome. As much as I … Continue reading →
Last summer, Hubby’s cell phone took an unexpected dip in a stream. The wonder was that it recovered after about two or three days of drying out. This morning, the screen died, and we decided three years was pushing our luck, so we wandered back to the AT&T store today, … Continue reading →
We’ve been thinking about this for awhile, but since we’re preparing to be away from home for possibly most of the next three months, we thought this would be a good time to spring for it. I headed to my favorite ATT Store this morning and picked up an ATT … Continue reading →
We got up to light rain this morning. I’m glad we got all the tree branches out yesterday. It sunned up around ten, so I vacuumed the bed of the truck. I have a cap and BedRug on the bed. We’d been hauling dogs, rocks, and firewood in the back, … Continue reading →

I picked up two more books in the past two days, but here’s what’s on the nightstand now: Failure is not An Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond by Gene Kranz. I’ve met Mr. Kranz and was fortunate enough to get a personalized, autographed copy of … Continue reading →
Yes, I am amazed. For the first time, we have all three felines in the garden window at the same time, and nobody is fussing: As you can tell, the lines of demarcation are getting a little closer together. If you can’t guess, Natasha is on the right side. … Continue reading →
Hubby noticed Pericles (one of our Siamese cats) sitting in the window sill tonight. Nothing unusual about that, but on the other side of the glass was a mourning dove looking in the window at the cat. A few hours later, Pericles was gone from the window sill, but the … Continue reading →
