I am delighted to report my recalled mower is back home. That’s not quite accurate. I have a mower. I do not have the 2005 model CMM1000 mower I sent in for the recall work. I have a 2011 model CMM1200 mower as a replacement — WITH a functional charging … Continue reading →
This is the last post in this series, and I’m supposed to say what I’ve learned in the last 30 days. I learned that my mother didn’t know I considered her a superhero. I also learned that my iPod let me down when it had a chance to play some … Continue reading →

My parents bought a house (yay!), so I’m heading north to help them move this week. I leave tomorrow and should get there Tuesday evening. I’m looking forward to the road trip but am, of course, hoping the roads between Texas and Wisconsin are clear. (It seems like they are … Continue reading →
Day 25 of the 30 Days of Me challenge is one I’ve been looking forward to since I scanned the list. I don’t carry a purse, but when I bought the iPad and committed to carrying it with me everywhere, I had to get a container that made that easy. … Continue reading →
