Has it been a month already? Why, yes, it has! And what a month it was. Weather is still on a roller coaster of ups and downs, and they have been doozies! We’ve ranged between single digits and 80 degrees over the last month. On a single day, we ranged … Continue reading →
We’ve been having some nicer weather over this past week, and that helps. It also means the weeds are growing with abandon. Here’s the latest on the properties: The San Antonio House: We’re headed down there later to begin tree and yard work in preparation for spring. The Ranch: No … Continue reading →
It’s been a slow month for getting things done. Here goes: The San Antonio House: Verified that the latest plumbing fix is effective. Continued work on building the support structure to remount the commode. It’s working as is, but this will be considered a maintenance fix to ensure it’s in … Continue reading →
Hasn’t the year just flown by? There’s so much that needs to be done, but we just haven’t been getting to it. Here’s where things stand for December for the properties: The San Antonio house: The yard is ready for winter. Property taxes are paid. The Central Texas house: The … Continue reading →

What’s been happening in and around the property this past month? I got some watering done at the San Antonio house. We’re in San Antonio now, and thanks to Ingrid over Mexico and Manuel in the Baja region, we’re getting some much needed rain, so I’ll be able to focus … Continue reading →
I delayed this post a little to ensure Valerie Comer got top billing for the full day. Did you buy her book yet? Please go do that now. Go ahead. I’ll wait. Nothing we’ve done with the property over the last month is that pressing. We’ve been keeping the grass … Continue reading →
We’re having an unbelievably slow year for property progress this year. Here’s what can be attributed to the last month for the various properties: Central Texas House: Yard work with a very little decluttering. Mr. L assembled his jig for making rosettes, and began making them. He has nine blanks, … Continue reading →
I try to take a photo of the Central Texas house each March (we closed on the house in March, 2007). This year, I’m a few months late. We did get the mailbox post painted with the house numbers affixed. We still haven’t replaced the front steps, and some trimming … Continue reading →
