We needed a little getaway, but the calendar gods were not smiling upon us. So, instead of a mini vacation for a night or two, we took a micro vacay just for the day. I picked Colorado Bend State park. It wasn’t too far out for us to miss our obligations, like visiting Mom. I […]
Free to a good home – Marble Kitty a super affectionate 4yo Bombay cat (black with bright yellow/golden eyes).
We got presents for #DomaLuza on Tuesday! Merry gift-giving time to us! The new fridge/dryer/microwave were supposed to arrive between 12noon and 4pm, but they called and asked if they could come early due to some cancellations. So, I hurried to haul all the stuff out of the soon-to-be-old fridge while they worked on the […]
A this year’s #gdgt event at South By Southwest, we saw a couple of brands of wireless sound bars. They are sleek and powerful. Not only to they emit great sound, but they also eliminate a few cables. For E’s birthday he picked out an affordable model that was also on sale for Black Friday […]

So new that portraits were not yet made. Not a scratch anywhere, yet. The first payment hadn’t even come due. We picked up the license plates on Wednesday, October 9th. Though E determined that it was a “he”, we hadn’t even thought of a name. Backstory: We got a new car about seven weeks ago. […]
Today, we sold our dining table. It was the wrong size and shape for our new home so we got rid of it. Plus, we never-ever-not-once seated 8 people for dinner. I have $300 cash in my pocket! …and a plan. The Questions Where will you sit to eat? – On the couch with TV […]
We went to Tyler this weekend to be with Ken & Denis Hawk to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. E has known Denise since they were kids. He was one of ~5 people at their Catholic ceremony 25 years ago. We had a blast! Team Hawk threw a lovely party at a cool Mediterranean-looking terrazzo […]
