2014 sucked Daddy hated that use of that word, but it’s the most fitting. (Also, he was a bit too literal at times. He also hated “Life’s a Beach” because he thought it was just “Life’s a Bitch” in polite form instead of a xtian re-write to spin the whole concept positive. Parents can be […]
When we bought #DomaLuza, it was hard to see how much brass there was in the house because the previous owner had so many brass and/or gold colored things among her possessions. Even with all of her things out of here, I couldn’t stand how much brass there was, especially the shiny brass. And no, […]

So, I hurried to haul all the stuff out of the soon-to-be-old fridge while they worked on the […]
Relocating the cat box and Black Friday comes early
As the first cold front moves in , we are winterizing. We’ve already built a couple of fires. But to save money, we’ve opted for wood instead of using the gas that’s in our fireplace. Last night E ordered a quarter cord of wood; it will be delivered in the morning. Today I cleaned out […]
It’s been a year (& little) since my grandfather passed and since our vacation this direction last summer…and thus since we’d been “home”.
