(First, an explanation of random photo–we’re due storms today. I took this photo during a stormy walk last fall. Amazing sky!) Yay! Colin Firth and The King’s Speech won! I’m so happy! I’ve always admired George VI, who stepped up to do a job replete with opportunities to face his worst fear. (Not that I […]

So–yesterday went according to plan. Sort of. The beloved hung around the house with the guys installing granite and plumbing. (It’s gorgeous!) The girl and I jumped ship and ate hummus with capers, and all the delightful fixings, including soft, plump homemade pita. Mmmm! Then we shopped for mirrors. Why, yes, you’re right. That’s not […]

More busy times. We have the granite guys coming today. Mirrors down, faucets and lighting at the ready. No replacement mirrors yet, though. The beloved loves to supervise when we have work done to the house, and I find it all a bit overwhelming. You know? As if you’re supposed to be showing up with […]

Busy day ahead. Must buy fixtures for bathrooms. We’re replacing counters, lighting and mirrors, and I’ve worked myself into a state about the mirrors. The beloved tells me I’m nuts, but I’ll be ever so glad when that glass is somewhere out of the reach of humans. Last night I watched My Fair Lady. I […]

I like Mondays. The grocery stores aren’t as crowded. The cafe at B&N has open tables–and I love the feeling of a fresh new week. Only this Monday is Valentine’s Day. Brace yourself for a possibly odd confession from a romance author. I don’t really get Valentine’s Day. So many expectations. Who can live up […]

But I’m trying to blog regularly, so I’m posting anyway. We’ve been busy round here, redoing bathrooms. (Not DIY, though we do have to get mirrors off the wall. I’m so afraid our extremely cheap builder glued them to the walls, so I dread it!) Today, I had many bathroom-redo tasks to complete. Still have […]

Again, it’s been a while. Not sure what happens–but I’ll tell you what’s happened since last I blogged. 🙂 In fact, I’ll post photos in no meaningful order. (Probably.) We went to Florida to look at condos on the beach. That seemed like such a good idea, until we considered how much work the ones […]
