We have a few things to report for Property Update May 2016. San Antonio House: Lawn is mowed. This week, we worked in the backyard. We brought the washer/dryer to Central Texas and our neighbor performed the diagnostics and repair. The Ranch: We brought a trailer load of things in … Continue reading →
Time again for the property update for April, 2016. I do not have a new knee. Mr. L’s doctor needed to try a few things for him. I’m not sure what his doctor has planned when we see him again in May, but, thankfully, Mr. L is feeling much better … Continue reading →
We’ve long suspected we had at least one bobcat at the ranch (but there’s always more than one, right?). With the latest deer census, we finally have photographic proof. Two different days, and I can’t tell if it’s the same cat or not, but that’s definitely a bobcat. I found … Continue reading →
The property update March 2016 is ready to go. We get a little done here and there. Sadly, there’s more than enough work on the to do list. San Antonio House: We’re working there as you read this. Last month, the big success was getting the alley hedge trimmed. Mr. … Continue reading →

The hayfield on September 16, 2001. If I recall correctly, I came up here on a brief break I got from the Crisis Action Team in our post-9-11 world. It was cold and drizzly. I don’t remember what I had to do, but I was out in the rain without … Continue reading →
Back on track with the January 2016 property update. I’ve taken a few months off due to various distracting issues. With the new month, I’m getting back in the groove. It looks like the last time I did a full update was in September. San Antonio House: The focus in … Continue reading →
I’m looking for a fresh start for my web presence. For a long time, I reserved several domain names, tried to blog in different areas for different interests, but I’ve been feeling drawn to consolidating my interests in one area. It’s not quite as bad as you may think. I … Continue reading →
Not much to report for October 2015, EXCEPT we have a new property. At the end of September, we purchased the property and building occupied by a detail shop and state inspection station located immediately behind the shop. Why do we want this property? It has a nice fenced in … Continue reading →
