Finally. Hope it doesn’t let up for awhile. Well, maybe long enough for me to get some money back, but it sure was nice last weekend to finally get something to show for the gas I’d used. For a couple of months now, the only money I’ve been spending has been gas money. Not good. [...]

A pair of doves have built a nest on top of a cabinet on our back porch. We’ve enjoyed watching her sit so calmly, serenely and patient. I hope I’m here when the babies fly – if I haven’t already missed them. It’s been raining so much, I haven’t checked in the last couple of [...]

OK. I’m about to become the bravest person you know. I’m gonna show you something. I’m revealing deep, dark secrets. What is prompting me? An explanation, or excuse if you insist, for why I don’t get to blog much. One of many, many things getting in my way. Yesterday I heard something fall in the [...]

Aren’t those folks always the ones interviewed on the news when bad weather hits? I got to experience my own bad weather this afternoon! No, no trailers were thrown around. Or none that I saw. Haven’t heard of a tornado hitting a local trailer park either, but I do know some trees are down in [...]

Let’s start with Friday. The sales around here were, um, just a little less than enticing. But there were three estate sales advertised in Birmingham. Do I go or do I stay? What do you think? Ready, set…. GO! Lena drove. First sale was very nice and neat, but was a fancy yard sale. A [...]

Weekend update: It was nice to have Lena for company at the estate sales yesterday. Had a great time! I was kinda excited to find this mans, Mr. Cabana shirt: She rolled her eyes, groaned and said it looked like somebody’s drunk uncle. I thought of The Beach Boys. The inside is white terry cloth. [...]

As promised. I’m amazing myself! I’m actually following up on yesterday’s blog. Ha! I CAN do it! Erin’s Versace dress. It’s really Versus by Versace, but how cute is that?: My 1970s Mr. Dino dress: And a flashback to the 1980s. Did I mention these? I don’t know if anyone will ever buy them, but [...]

We’re back from our Florida vacation to visit Philip and Lisa. Loved being with them. We don’t get to see them often enough. I won’t bore you all with vacation details. It was pretty non-eventful considering our vacations are usually movie worthy – think Chevy Chase and the Vacation movies. I’ll just get to the [...]

All wrapped up in one post. Wisteria is one of my favorite signs of spring. I love to see huge trees covered in the yummy, purple, hanging blooms. We have one in our yard. We have to keep it under control, of course. Can’t have it taking over the big oaks, now can we? Personally, [...]
