A grapevine it's not

-an amazing husband and best friend, who listens to me, talks to me, calms me, completes me -2 crazy Huskies who, although they drive me batty on a daily basis, love me and Corey in the simplest, truest way -an amazing home, property, surroundings -the peace, the quiet, the hooting owls, the majestic bald eagles [...]

at Bongos. Their prices are way out of control; $16.95 for masitas de puerco! Still yummy, though. Happy Glenn paid with dad’s CC. Megan finally told us she’s pregnant, due in May. We walked around West Side a while; had cigars on the walk to the Irish pub across from Manequins. Neat place. Really big, [...]

Corey had a wonderful time taking with Maggie and seeing Cassanna interact with Maggie and Kathy. Cassanna’s scrapbook went over really well. Jim and Conny loved it and everyone else just kept picking it up. It was stormy, a typically winter day. The trip itself was uneventful, save for the horrendous weather we drove through [...]

Ugh! For no reason the stress level goes up double, even for the stupidest little things I have to do. Deep cleansing breaths…in…out…in… Pen in the laundry, trashed khakis; both of them. Oxy clean didn’t work…damnit Corey!!! S’ok, just placed another order with Old Navy for a similar pair. Thankfully they still had the stuff [...]

Oh well. Have actually been using the brain and doing things, so it’s ok. We started on the bedroom patio yesterday. Got 20 pavers to start with, see how we liked them (we do!), laid them all out (after leveling of course) and did 5 large tiles before we got tired. It’s time consuming! Digging [...]

it’s been a month since we were getting ready to leave Argentina. It’s weird, sometimes it seems like longer, sometimes just last week. We did as lide show the other day when Benji and Shannon came over. I was just picking though pictures and putting them on the flash drive. A bunch of the ones [...]

We burned all the stick, twigs and branches we’ve been meaning to for the last umpteen months and had a lovely time in the process. It was such a gorgeous day, too. We sat on our bedroom patio for a while trying to figure out our thoughts on decorating and placements. We moved the pergola [...]

As I was cleaning off the screen porch I walked out on an orange snake wrapped around a small rodent of some sort right outside the drive side screen door. The snake I’m sure is a corn snake. However, all attempts at figuring out the calico ‘chipmunk’ have failed. It was wide, flat, with small [...]

The eagles have landed!!! Three of them, all over the pines in the back yard. The farthest one must be eating something. One is mature, not sure if male or female. The one eating I can’t really see well, but the other looks like a teen. It has brown and white feathers, but is starting [...]

Well, been kinda busy. Let’s see what’s happened in the past week: Nov 1… the cabinets got installed, we picked up the new sink. I spent the evening (til 23:30) put everything away in the new cabinets, of course. Nov 2… Dave’s surgery, which went well. Only 3 hours vs the 5 they originally said [...]
