Friday Follies!
admin | June 29, 2012
Not so much follies, as a plan to beat the heat! I’m going to run my errands before the sun comes up. (Also not true. The sun is rising already, but I’m getting out of here before it’s too much warmer than the current 73 F.) I haven’t slept much (due to the above-mentioned 73–terrible […]

Tasks for Today

Sweep the pool. We’ve been having pool issues. (Not the pool deck, which looks kind of crazy. The husband pressure washed it and seems to have blasted off a coating–so it looks kind of dirty, which it’s not. You don’t expect a surface to look worse after it’s pressure washed.)

admin | June 25, 2012
Time really flies. I’ve been writing and celebrating family birthdays and reading. (I love Harry Potter. How on earth did J.K. Rowling manage that series?

Monday Arrives Again
admin | June 4, 2012
I wonder if I’ve mentioned how much I love Mondays. I loved them a little more when the beloved had a job outside the home because I had the place to myself. As I write this (late Sunday evening), he tells me he’ll be removing tile tomorrow. I’m working outside our home come the Monday. […]
