That’s what it seems like, anyway. This house has a half acre yard. My electric lawn mower is supposed to handle a third acre on a single charge. The grass was tall when we arrived, but not as bad as last time when I beat it back, mostly with a … Continue reading →
The move is technically complete. Everything came off the truck on Monday looking just like it did when it when it was loaded on Friday. I had decent packers, conscientious and capable loaders, and a vigilant, professional driver. Natasha is grumpy, but I’ve placed her crate with the top open … Continue reading →
What are vacuum attachments good for? I used to think absolutely nothing. Today, I changed my mind. After the moving van pulled away with most of my worldly possessions, I swept and mopped the kitchen and laundry room floors. Then I took the truck out to give it a bath … Continue reading →
I pulled the boxes out of the attic today. They’re sitting next to the item that belongs in them patiently waiting for me to decide when to place the item inside and ensure it’s safely packed for the move. I vacuumed the back of the truck and returned the bed … Continue reading →

Yes, I’m going home for the week and won’t be hanging out here. We’re looking for ’46 Mercury, ’48 Ford, or early 50’s Jeep parts; touching base with the grandkids (and the older “kid” and spouse); and hunting a “new” kitchen sink. I’m not sure if a visit with the … Continue reading →
Some kind of crud has hold of me and is making me miserable, so I haven’t been around to check out your Snippets yet. It was a good week. Got some yard work done. Got some floors cleaned. Almost lost hubby’s truck in a new “water feature” on the ranch … Continue reading →
