Hey folks! Back again with a few updates. Yet again, just letting some time go by so I can have a little peace of mind. Today the sun is shining and the weather is unseasonably warm at a balmy 53 degrees so LET’S BLOG! Speaking of temperature, we finally got our electric heaters installed in […]
Hi! Dropping in to vent about my color problems. No, I like my brown skin just fine, it’s my wall colors. Well for starters I am a very indecisive person. It takes me a while to reach the perfect decision…lol…I laugh at that notion! But seriously, you gotta love the colors you choose for your […]

I’m refusing to indulge in CNN right now, so I decided to write a little blog. Daylight savings time has begun and that […]
Happy Halloween! What a great weekend we had here in the first state! The weather was nice and warm like I like it. Perfect outside working weather, so that’s what we did. I try to get as many days as I can working outside before the cold snap rolls in. Jack Frost and I don’t […]
