Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
OK, I promise not to take those titles out for the next four weeks - BUT - I have decided that I need to get my writing brain back up to speed, and the blog is the easiest launching pad for that. Need to be back to a regular writing routine for Blogmutt to earn... Continue Reading →
All good ones! I was finally able to arrange for the disposal of an oversized, hand me down and out of shape set of furniture in my living room. The love seat and chair were rarely both in use and the love seat would only be in use if both 17 and I were watching... Continue Reading →
Is it horrible of me to think of this as the Darth Vader house? Where termites die die die!!! Yes, I am thinking evil and morbid termite destruction thoughts. Anyway....

Pretty cool when I think about how they have known each other since they were 5 🙂 That announcers booth up there is home base for the checkbook and my purse on Saturday game days. But then I have to run up and down those stairs the whole time chasing kids out of restricted areas,... Continue Reading →
I love when she rolls over like that 🙂 So I am showing off the camera a bit. That photo was taken from about 6 feet away as I sat on the sofa. Here's another from the same distance but with zoom: Now here is one from the other night. Low light, me sitting at... Continue Reading →
Music Man and his friend hit the roof today. Not seeing anything obvious, they then headed into the attic to try and trace the water line. Which led them to believe that it must be leaking in the neighbors house too (it's a twin home set up) because it looked like it was leaking right... Continue Reading →
