Does anybody know what this is for?
Because there are certain people who seem to think it’s where we put all the clean socks when we don’t want to bother with sorting and folding them.
I’ve been so busy!
Mailing off our taxes today was such a relief! Now that that burden is gone I can focus all my energy on moving. I’m very excited about this. I’ve decided that, since this is already a HUGE change for us, that I would start a brand spankin’ new blog. Yup, I’m gonna quit bloggin’ here and [...]
The Country Place
I was trying to wait with this post until I had some more beautiful photos of the house. But I don’t know when we’ll get back out there and I need to get on with the explanation for: why are we moving to flat land when I had told you “Hill Country”? why will we [...]
A Place in the Country
See that group of trees on the left? Now, see the big tree just on the left of the highway? Turn left and come up the driveway. Pass the wildflower meadow there on the right. Let’s sit on the front porch for a while and enjoy a hot cuppa. (We shall try to ignore the [...]

Van-Go (snort!)
My van is gone! Yay! You’ll remember that our old, beat up, huge van broke down for the last time in May. My plan was to donate it to charity right away, but that plan was foiled due to clutter obscuring my extra sensory perception failing to discern the location of the title. GRR!!! This [...]
Phone Home
I finally have all my kids at home for the whole day all at once. When you have teens this just happens more and more seldom. And since they’re all here and our city has decided that it is time for my neighborhood to have our wonderful brush and rubbish pick-up AND it’s the last [...]
