but the yard always looks so nice once we’re done. Darryl and I always have a blast working together, and the time seems to fly by. He does all the heavy lifting and I do all the raking. We make a perfect team. Plus it feels so good to come in to a warm house [...]

I’m tired of burning paraffin candles which are predominantly made from the final byproduct in the petroleum refining chain. I refuse to expose myself and my family to soot and neurotoxic fumes like benzene and toluene any longer! So after long hours of research and scouring the web, I purchase two non-toxic and hypo allergenic [...]

So, I had a grand idea of running speaker wire in the walls and mounting the rear surround speakers to the walls. Little did we know what we had in store for ourselves. The job started yesterday and didn’t get finished till this evening. Every time we thought we were making headway, 2-3 hours would [...]

I’m daring to make a quilt… I know I know… it’s probably going to take me years to finish, but I’m determined to do it!

I’m not feeling very happy today so Darryl took me out to breakfast and then let me stroll through some thrift stores. I bought some vintage pillow cases and fabric (that I plan on making bags with), this cool bowl with a painted dogwood blossom on it (that Darryl hates), and another basket (for my [...]

Well folks here she is. The wicked twin of Electric Sex. I’d like ya’ll to meet Gas-Similation. It’s a pretty good range. So far! It’s been almost 20 years since I last cooked with gas and today’s experience was good. It’s funny, for our first meal it was Darryl’s (aka, great hot sandwiches). Dinner for [...]

I’m assuming that no one knows how to read the picture below, so tomorrow what will the great unveiling show? A head popping out like a Jack in the box? A large snake? or maybe a million dollars? What will it be? The world may never know, till tomorrow.

Margaret and I broke down and purchased a dehumidifier yesterday. We went to Home Depot first and they were sold out, so our only resort was Lowe’s (sorry Dave!). Luckily we got there right when the truck pulled up. Since we received a ton of rain last weekend and lots of people had very very [...]

Since we’ll be getting our fridge on Monday Sept 8th, Darryl and I decided that we needed to go ahead and make room for it. It’s taller & a little wider than the one originally in the house so we had to do a little demolition. I didn’t get to take photos of Darryl and [...]

Yea it’s another post about the house, but hey it’s so old what can I say? We’ve been scrubbing the kitchen from head to toe for the past couple of days to get the funky smells out. It’s funny we went to an estate sale today and the basement in that house smelled just like [...]
