Another August visit to Door County
Home yesterday from our friends' cabin on Green Bay in Door County. The visit seemed shorter than usual this year and a little more low key despite the fact that there is never any intense agenda. Maybe a nature walk, or a visit to the store to stock up on food. Otherwise we cook, eat, hang out, make campfires (and sit around them), sing, joke, ( Read more... ) -
House is on the Market!
Yipee! Here is a link to our house. You can see how hard we have worked with the painting, cleaning, and especially landscaping. Ok, other people did a lot of that. When I look at the kitchen I want to buy it ( Read more... ) -
Almost on the market
Wondering if I should start a new career of "flipping" houses (not!) We have put together a pretty good crew. Hopefully, about a 5,000.00 investment will reap 10,000 extra and a quick sale (which saves us much money.) Not that our mortgage on the house is huge, but we hope to pay off more of the principle of the condo and get our monthly rate down ( Read more... ) -
Time compression
I think it is summer now. Sometimes I drive out of the garage and look around surprised that it isn't fall. Incipient alzhiemer's? stress? I don't know. It will be fall before we know it. I'm not the only one who finds days staying the same length as always but weeks and months and years compressing. Zooom ( Read more... ) -

"Doing quite well in fact"
Yes. There is something positive about all this. First, there is no more infection. Jim's health has been off for a long time. A doctor said that he was probably spending about a fifth of his energy just fighting infection. Of course, right now, about a fifth of his energy is going toward healing from the surgery, but he is feeling quite well. ( Read more... ) -
Carrying On - (caution, medical details)
I look back on my last entry, posted in October, mostly written in August. Lots of dark stuff, Mom not doing well, Dad dying. 2012 was not the best year. This one didn't start so well either but we are surviving. We are doing quite well in fact ( Read more... ) -
Old news but never posted
Mid August - I found this in my draft folder. I think I used it in a Turbo Apa post.
Another month. The drought ended near the end of July. We have been getting adequate rain since and I have hardly had to water anything. So much for the usefulness of the rain barrel. I've used it once this year! Then it was empty for at least 5 weeks. The main ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Home today with the aim of getting some housework done. Started off with sleeping too late. Somehow I missed the snooze alarm and hit the off button. Still groggy. No one did the dishes last night so I have the dishwasher running and I think most of the rest of stuff ready to clean ( Read more... ) -
Happy Day!
Supreme Court upheld Affordable Care! Now to get our governor to act like an adult!
Car!
We were getting pretty annoyed by our old Honda Civic (1996 EX manual Transmission) because it was starting to act a little old and cranky. Like the passenger window wouldn't open, rear driver's side door wouldn't open. Had to manually lock all doors as the ( Read more... )
