I’ve been participating in the A-Z Challenge over at my other blog. That will keep you entertained all month. I am working on this month’s Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour post, which will go live on the 19th. As noted earlier, we began work on the west wall of the living room. … Continue reading →
We spent last week in San Antonio doing spring yard work. We have shrimp plants in the back yard, and they were in stunning form. I took some pictures to share. I tried to capture the honey bees busily carrying about their pollination business, but I’m not certain I was … Continue reading →
I mentioned getting the second color coat on the front wall of the house in my last post. Here’s a picture (by the way, you can always click on the thumbnails in the post for a larger picture if you want more detail): I periodically take a shot of … Continue reading →

Unfortunately, here’s what the yard looks like. I snapped these from the front and back porches: The … Continue reading →
I am delighted to report my recalled mower is back home. That’s not quite accurate. I have a mower. I do not have the 2005 model CMM1000 mower I sent in for the recall work. I have a 2011 model CMM1200 mower as a replacement — WITH a functional charging … Continue reading →

Which means some component in the transformer failed — typically that would be a capacitor. No matter. The short answer is I … Continue reading →
Four days down. My cumulative total is 12, 653. That means I have 37,347 words to go. Today, I learned my narrator’s wife-to-be is trying to avoid an arranged marriage–and not to my narrator. Sounds a little tricky, doesn’t it? This is my Central Texas workspace: The Mini is under … Continue reading →
