We ran a yard sale today (garage sale, tag sale, whatever you call them in your neck of the woods). I didn’t meet the deadline to get an ad in the paper, so we put out two signs this morning after we were set up (one at a strategic corner … Continue reading →
We spent yesterday working at the ranch. Ugh! to the heat. Yay! to the ranch. We took the 5-gallon buckets of tree shreddings I made earlier this year and spread them on the road. We took three buckets of used kitty litter to spread on the road I call the … Continue reading →
My husband has long been jealous of my relationship with the computer. Lately, I think he’s justified. I’d love to say I was using the computer to write riveting lines of fiction. Or even revising klutzy lines of prose into interesting fiction. Alas. If only. I have been playing Mafia … Continue reading →
We arrived back at the house after most of the day spent in Temple for two doctor’s appointments for me to discover we were without power. This wasn’t a huge problem EXCEPT, we haven’t gotten the door installed in the garage yet, so our only entrance and exit is through … Continue reading →
I’m back in Central TX for a bit. Hubby will be joining me shortly, but he’s stuck tying up some loose ends taking longer than he planned in San Antonio. Grass is dry, dry, dry. I’m watering (no water police here). I plan to run a Home Blessing Hour tomorrow … Continue reading →

I re-looked at the taxes this morning, and we still owe. Everything looks to be in order, so we’ll write up the final versions, make copies, get the check cut, and send it in. Estimated tax check is cut and waiting for us to fill out the form, address the … Continue reading →
It’s been a quick week in San Antonio. We head back to Central Texas tomorrow. Hubby has a dentist appointment on Thursday. We’ll be there for a week, then come back to SA to party for Fiesta and catch the New Braunfels Swap Meet. I’ll get a chance to meet … Continue reading →
