Holy crap!
I can't believe it's been week since I've updated...seems like only a couple of days have gone by!
I took my Mom to the city, to a new Parkinson's Dr. on Tuesday. The guy we had been seeing, was not satisfying. He didn't seem to want to answer questions and would spend only about 5 minutes with us, when we went back for...

The gods have smiled upon me!
After a full day of digging with the backhoe, I've finally found and fixed my water line leak. I can't tell you what a load off of my mind this is. If I hadn't found the leak, the alternative was to put in a new 1200 ft water line....which meant digging through part of the yard and making a...

Just reading journals and found yours. I have to say, fixing the water line is IMPRESSIVE!

I think I was wrestling in the night last night....not sure who or what I was wrestling, but my bed was a mess of tangled sheets, blanket and bedspread this morning. The funny thing is, I slept really well....was out like a light....don't remember dreaming or wrestling....woke up more rested than I have for some time now....go figure!
I do have serious bedhead this morning....I...

i'm painting my kitchen base boards, that's why the slack update. today is spring cleaning. it's cool here like low 60's upper 50's sun shinning though, so it's a great day to air out the house and clean.

The rain might stop today and it might get to 70 degrees.....might.
I managed to get almost all of my yard mowing done yesterday...only about an hours worth left. I quit cause I got rained on and got wet and cold. The grass is 12 ft tall now.....OK....that's an exaggeration, but not by much. Tommorow they promise sun and 75....bunch a lyin' bastards!

You hardly ever say crap, so I guess you were surprised.
I was reminded yesterday, of something my Dad used to say.
"Never give anything more worry, than it's worth"
In other words, don't sweat the little stuff. I think I've been guilty of worrying about to many things and too many things that are out of my control recently. It's easy to get caught up in worrying about every little thing....and then get overwhelmed. I...

Thanks so much for your kind words about my granny. It really helps.
You also make a good point in your journal, as well. How'd you get so clever?

I must admit, my whole attitude has been pretty BLAH this week. I think the weather has a lot to do with it, or maybe it's just a phase...who knows? Either way, I don't like the feel of it. I gotta do something to get some energy and enthusiasm back.

lol 5 foot 2 inches with out shoes, i am petite, but in proportion, and long wasted with long limbs, so i never appear to look as short as i really am, and a good camera angle helps too

I know the feeling, it usually happens to me during the winter.
My weekend was sooooooo normal. Not that I really expected it to not be, but something out of the normal would have been nice. And even though I slept like a log last night, I'm still tired this morning....which is unusual for me. I'm hoping the coffee will kick in any time now!
It is once again, cool and damp. 55 degrees and light intermittant...

Holy Moly what a ride!
I think everyone around the ranch here, has been getting into the loco weed. Things have been a little out of kilter this last week. It's too complicated to go into details, but I can say that I'm proud to have kept my sanity and good reason, while everyone else around me was losing theirs!

hi bud. loco weed heads are the crazy ones. It's always nice to catch up with some old friends.

Beautiful yard, big but beautiful. Do you use a riding mower? If not, that's quite a mow. Yard work can be very theraputic! Enjoy the day my green thumb friend
I love the little birdies, but HOLY COW these guys are eating me out of house and home!
Well, not really....but pretty close....
Gold finch. Bright yellow and black, these are wonderful little birds that flit and flutter around like sleek little jet aircraft. I have 3 finch feeders just off the front porch. I can't seem to keep them full. Each feeder has 6...

It's always the cookies. I think chocolate chip cookies will end up being the downfall of civilization.
They say more storms are on the way tonight. Iowa City got hit pretty hard with tornadoes a couple of nights ago...it would really ruin my Easter dinner plans to have my house blown away the night before! So I guess it's time to batten down the hatches again.

You did not tell me. You are a man of secrets.
those stockings are real vintage, with a nice diamond pattern, an amazing find on ebay i must say.
I hate people whom are so closed mided they can't accept anything but what they are acustomed to..
