No Rest For The Wicked!
I don’t want to brag, but I do speak a little Latin. I’m not fluent, but I’m sure I could get by if I ever went there. Today would have been Sue’s 70th birthday. Thanks to the many people who … Continue reading

Friday Is A Work Day
I was a terrible psychic. I got fired, and I never even saw it coming. As of this morning, I have been retired 14 Years, 3 Months, and 19 Days! Today is “paint day”; I have three appointments with folks … Continue reading

Unpacking Begins; We Be Busy!
I put my grandma on speed dial. I call that Instagram. We didn’t begin to move until 6:00 AM; Mary worked upstairs until her Zoom meeting, and I finished off the lights in the ceiling except that I bought 2700 … Continue reading

It’s A Holiday And We Worked!
All of my fingers were injured in the 4th of July fireworks. My closest friends say that they can’t count on me anymore. We beat the rooster up this morning! I headed to Casa Valencia to hang up the chandelier … Continue reading

1/2 Work; 1/2 Play; Celebrate All Day!
The only bakery I loved at the 4th of July carnival was selling pastries with stars and stripes. Others were just un-pastry-otic. The morning started as usual: work, work, work! Mary worked inside, and I tackled the garage. Mary has … Continue reading

We Worked All Day
I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the ax. Mary worked inside, and I worked in the garage. She did come out and go through four cabinets of goodies. I … Continue reading
