Perry brought home 3 plastic containers right before Christmas. Each contained a bit of dirt and a huge dried out looking bulb with a bit of dead plant sticking out the top. Just add water and enjoy! I'll admit, I was skeptical. I'll also admit I wasn't a fan of these...
No matter how much I love me some snow, I'm thankful I'm not in New York right now. Can you imagine grocery lines before the start of snow measured in feet not inches? Here, shelves are empty when an inch is forecasted. 🙂 I'm really thankful that I have heat since...
Either Ben or Colette enabled an Alexa skill called "Big Fart." Basically, you ask Alexa to play a big fart and you get a random flatulating sound. By the way... Have you asked Alexa for an answer and she throws in some, "by the way" option? That's what she did with...
The Pesky neighbors will be here today to check out the split unit heating/cooling system in the barndo. They've had experience using them and I'm hoping that I'm just doing something wrong. I've already had them serviced... Just a little more than a week ago, the...

Many moons ago I knew more about mortgage loans than the average ASNr. I closed my fair share when I worked at a bank. We didn't wire money when paying off other loans - we cut bank checks for the amounts plus the per diem to allow for mailing. I've also bought and...
I think I'll commit to sharing one sunset photo every week. Fifty-two sky photos from the same (or about the same) spot over the next year. Of course, I'm picking sunset photos over sunrise ones because I'm a night owl. Choosing sunrise would feel more like a job and...
