first freeze watch of the season comin’ at ya live from the Ville

Tomorrow night is supposed to be the first real freeze of the season. It's barely 50° right now and still raining. Tomorrow's low is expected to be in the mid 20's. Wow! I am about to start cleaning and then dyeing the concrete floor in the office/family room. I might...

sunset #49 taken by a guest photographer

Perry took sunset photo #49 of 52. Funny, within 10 minutes after he snapped this, the sun had already dropped below the horizon. I wish I would've taken time to go up there and take a photo myself, but alas, I was too late. You see, I had company... My cousin,...

city or country… doesn’t matter so much when it’s stifling hot

It's 80° and not yet 9:30 AM, and it's only going to get worse as temps rise today. It's predicted our heat value will be at least 113°. And it's so flipping humid! Going outside with the dogs late last night, it was still incredibly warm. What's crazy is that when I...

only 9 more sunsets to make it for a full year – #43

It's a Monday morning and I've yet to start my day by 10:00 AM. I'm a slacker... my weekend walking was pathetic, I ate pork rinds during fasting time, and I've slept around 9 hours in 2 days. But I did grab a photo of sunset #43 of 52! And, I cooked breakfast for my...

happy mother’s day – i want a puppy!

Ben worked on Mother's Day and although he called (like 10 times), his schedule was such that he didn't make it here. But I had MY momma over for smash burgers and more. Next came Katie, Charlie, Lilly and Lilah... And now, I want a puppy!! Charlie has two lab puppies...

ben went to days and that makes me happy!

Ben is off of night shift and has secured a spot on days. When it comes to Coco, that's like the best news ever! It's not that I don't want to be around her as much -- it's that she needs more time with her Dad. Summertime incoming. Not sure when the pool will be here...

we’re still plugging along on the home improvement project

The upstairs en suite has been patched and painted as has the master bedroom. All that's left is for our contractor dude to finishing trimming everything up. We kept the "happy" green the sellers chose in the bedroom and painted the bathroom to match since they're...

deadline with 0% chance of reaching it

Mr. Contractor said this week he would finish here. That's today plus 2 more days and his chance of reaching his goal is a big ole' ZERO. The only way to reach that deadline is if he shows up with a team of at least 10. There's so much left for him to do before he's...

sunset #26 of 52 – halfway already?

sunset #26 of 52 – halfway already?

Sitting at our respective computers, Perry said, "Check out the sky! It's pink!" I did. It was. There was some pink... but lots of other colors too. It was so pretty out that I sent those Pesky neighbors a text so they wouldn't miss it. I think it's ASNutiful here no...
