When we bought the house in Central Texas, it had been plumbed for four bathrooms, but only two bathrooms had been completed. Two clawfoot tubs were sitting in the side yard. When we had the garage built, we moved the two tubs into the garage to get them out of … Continue reading →
Our neighbor came over this afternoon to let us know there’s an opossum in the neighborhood, and there’s a good chance he’s taking refuge under our shed. Time to pull out the mothballs and spread them near all the entrances under the house as well as tossing some under the … Continue reading →
My Bloglines reads are piling up again. I read certain ones but am letting others sit. My Lexulous and Scrabble games are staying current. I need to finish Week 4 of HTRYN. There’s a lot of stuff going on. The roof installation is complete at the shop. Hubby and I … Continue reading →
Cell phone reception in the Central Texas house is iffy at best. We’re about a block outside the range of really good ATT Edge service (to get 3G, we have to be closer to Temple). Inside the house, the house structure tends to make reception spotty. Since we get free … Continue reading →
I’ve been pulling boards out from under the house. The previous owners stored them there, and they need to be put in a safer place — both for the boards and the house. Our termite guy says they have to be moved, and he’s right. We don’t have termites, and … Continue reading →
We ran a yard sale today (garage sale, tag sale, whatever you call them in your neck of the woods). I didn’t meet the deadline to get an ad in the paper, so we put out two signs this morning after we were set up (one at a strategic corner … Continue reading →

Or even revising klutzy lines of prose into interesting fiction. Alas. If only. I have been playing Mafia … Continue reading →
We arrived back at the house after most of the day spent in Temple for two doctor’s appointments for me to discover we were without power. This wasn’t a huge problem EXCEPT, we haven’t gotten the door installed in the garage yet, so our only entrance and exit is through … Continue reading →
I’m back in Central TX for a bit. Hubby will be joining me shortly, but he’s stuck tying up some loose ends taking longer than he planned in San Antonio. Grass is dry, dry, dry. I’m watering (no water police here). I plan to run a Home Blessing Hour tomorrow … Continue reading →
Catching up. Hubby arrived last night, bringing another truckload of stuff, which is he is grumpily stashing in his our garage. Yes, it’s hot outside. It’s Central Texas in June without the rainy season. Ugh. Our trusty air conditioning and heating guy arrived quickly after a service call to him … Continue reading →
