I'd almost forgotten about capturing a sunset until I looked out the window to see a glowing sky. It sure was pretty in rural Indiana this evening... I'll be 100 before you know it! A couple days ago I mentioned a classmate retiring. The very next day, another of my...
Poor ole' Perry is a bit under the weather. As my pap-pa used to say, he probably has the lumpuckeroo in his bowels. In his day, that was the catch-all for whatever might cause you to feel less than 100%. He was a pretty wise ole' guy so I'm going with it. The Ville...
Today is dark and dreary. This morning, when I got up it was just dark. I'm not sure if I should blame Dharma or Merida because they actually feed off one another. Merida starts the process by getting off the bed to lay with Dharma on the dog bed. Dharma's not a fan...
I'm not changing the countertops even though I'm a white or black quartz girl and I've got brown/orange laminate. (Again... it's a barndo, Shelley.) The other challenge insofar as paint colors on walls is because the floors downstairs are acid stained concrete -- and...

Hurricane Ian cancelled Katie's bachelorette party (that was already a non-bachelorette party). Slated to get married in October, her man bailed and got another chick pregnant. (Good riddance to the butt turd!) Since the bachelorette cruise was already scheduled and...
Ben moved my plants inside before he left yesterday and they are happy he did. Temps in the mid-40's wouldn't kill them, but they likely would've been uncomfortable. I worried about them the night before but they were just fine. Merida is just fine too -- she loves...
There sure are a whole lot of dude crickets here in the ville calling for chick crickets. That high-pitched sound (stridulation) may be annoying to some, but sounds great to me. Live in a city for 10 years and you appreciate even the annoying stuff about living in the...
Two loads of gravel were delivered yesterday to be used for the newly positioned driveway to be completed on Thursday morning. I'll be SO happy when all this is done. STILL unpacking! I'm still unpacking daily. Perry brings me a load of boxes at night and I unpack...
