… and as expected, it seems impressive. As our friend Les put it, we have “The ‘A’ Team” on it! This is such a small house compared to most others, and yet it is like a dream to me. I remember that I get to pay for it, but it seems like a gift. I … Continue reading
On Saturday morning, I ventured into McBride to check on the status of the new house. Friday afternoon, I had taken the crew some ice cream treats, and left about two o’clock. They were still working hard at measuring and cutting lumber for studs. Aware that our builder usually works at home on Saturdays and … Continue reading
I have a senior friend who sold her acreage and moved into an independent- living complex a few months ago. The units are essentially apartments on one level, and are nice. I worried that Dorothy would suffer from the drastic change, and she has. Several times per week since the move, she has phoned or … Continue reading
Have to warn you… I’m so tired tonight I can hardly keep my eyes open. Watching the “A Team”, as our friend Les calls it, was exhausting today. Even so, it was also exhilarating to witness the foundation and floor being poured on the little house. They started as they had left it on Thursday, … Continue reading
R.I.P. Prin I haven’t said much about it, but my little black cat was suffering from a persistent skin infection. Every day for many weeks, I’ve had to administer pills, and she was so patient.

How lame a title is that? It’s 7:30 and I woke at 3:30 thinking I’d had a long night’s sleep. I couldn’t get back to snoozin’ at all, and finally got up at 5:30. Just think what I could have accomplished if I hadn’t stayed in bed? I’ve been listening to the rain most of … Continue reading
I can’t believe how much progress has already taken place on the little house. I’ve stopped a few times because I had to share what was on my mind, but for the most part, Ray and crew do not need me to be visiting at all! I can’t help visiting anyway. I had quite a … Continue reading
Early today I left the site plan for the new house for our builder to find (stuck in the door of that little shed), and went about my day. It was almost noon before I got back to see if there had been any activity at the lot. YIPPEE! this is what I found: So … Continue reading
Received a new iPhone this week, so I have a camera which works again. And a cell phone which works, too. The new phone wants a password for the Facebook App … do you think I can remember it, or find it in any Password saver? No. Today was epic… I’m not accustomed to a … Continue reading
I got a surprise when I clicked on my link for my OWN Blog and saw, “Tears dry on their own…” as the title. What was so troubling that I cried? Very silly, really, as it was all about a detail to do with building the new house, and not a very critical one. I … Continue reading
