Quick Update (blog entry) Well, my stepdaughter is gone. We had a great summer and I'm really glad my husband was able to spend some very special quality time with her.

It wasn't daddy themepark (we refuse to do that), but she got a chance to see how a parent who stay... read more

No bees, Man dies (blog entry) Last year was our first year keeping bees. It was all about keeping them alive. It took us 3 starts before we finally worked out all the problems. [Suspect the first hive was Africanized; it kept absconding. The next colony was ripped apart and... read more

When Every Failsafe Fails or The Death of Our Digital Data. (blog entry) This past weekend I was given very bad news. Several months ago, my husband had suspected same, but he was avoiding pronouncing the final news. In fact, he was avoiding working on it at all because he couldn't bring himself to know for sure. Bu... read more

Another new member to the family (blog entry) This past Wednesday Hubby and I took off. Heard there might be some Dobie puppies at the local (no kill) shelter.

Since the death of one of my dogs this past Spring, we had been considering getting another dog. Rox needed a friend.

Cabinets, Mercury goes retrograde so I get a chicken (blog entry) Strange, but good, weekend.

We need storage in both the garage and the basement. I have been wanting some cabinets for over a year; even keeping my eye out for used ones. I also want to install the sink we found in the basement, but need a b... read more

Well, my stepdaughter is gone. We had a great summer and I'm really glad my husband was able to spend some very special quality time with her.

It wasn't daddy themepark (we refuse to do that), but she got a chance to see how a parent who stays home can be very productive (something other than a role model who sits on their butt eating bon bons all day long watching TV).

We splurged a bit (and I'm hoping I don't regret it). We found a table saw at an estate sale for less than $100. ... read more

Last year was our first year keeping bees. It was all about keeping them alive. It took us 3 starts before we finally worked out all the problems. [Suspect the first hive was Africanized; it kept absconding. The next colony was ripped apart and finally vacated because of fire ants. “They” (the experts) say we don’t have Fire Ants in Missouri. HA! I have proof in a bottle.) ]We tried to split our hive at the end of summer with no success so we treated for mites, gave them stores of sugar... read more

This past weekend I was given very bad news. Several months ago, my husband had suspected same, but he was avoiding pronouncing the final news. In fact, he was avoiding working on it at all because he couldn't bring himself to know for sure. But its tax time.

He told me that I acquired a virus. It was a really nasty one too. I am very careful not to open up attachments from people. This virus only needed me to open up the email. It attacked Windows. The only solution (and even thou... read more

This past Wednesday Hubby and I took off. Heard there might be some Dobie puppies at the local (no kill) shelter.

Since the death of one of my dogs this past Spring, we had been considering getting another dog. Rox needed a friend.

No Dobies, but we found a 2 year old spayed female Wiemaraner.

We filled out an application and had a home inspection on Saturday (I liked that they are so strict). We were approved, by late afternoon; we had a new edition to the family.

Now Hub... read more

Strange, but good, weekend.

We need storage in both the garage and the basement. I have been wanting some cabinets for over a year; even keeping my eye out for used ones. I also want to install the sink we found in the basement, but need a base cabinet and counter top.

A friend came over this weekend; he has been remodeling his kitchen. Thinking he might catch a good deal, I asked him to keep his eye out for a counter top and cabinet. He isn't going to use his old cabinets so we ... read more
