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 →
I have a little less than two months until I’m retired. Between now and then, I’m getting a lot of things wrapped up. I’m also planning what my retired schedule should be. Obviously, it will be likely to undergo revisions as I get settled in. I have the following priorities: … Continue reading →
Got the DSL connection working, and hubby and I are wirelessly accessing the Web on our laptops from the kitchen table. Tres cool. And, Tech, I’m a little concerned about the tone of that last comment. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that sounded like a threat….oh. It was … Continue reading →

When I went home for Christmas, I bought a new truck. I haven’t posted a pic of it yet, because it wasn’t “complete.” The cap arrived this week, and I got it installed and had a chance to take a picture today. Yes, it’s a 4×4. No, I don’t need … Continue reading →
Texas Snakes: A Field Guide arrived in the mail yesterday. I’m not going to add this one to the “In Progress” reading list. Nor do I think I’m going to read the entire book. I did thumb through it last night, looking at the pretty pictures and reading about “snakes … Continue reading →
It’s that time, again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each of you. May you have a joyous and prosperous New Year. I’ll be back on the 30th.
