I do not know why they are, in this day of high medical and insurance costs not to mention GenX and their projeny bitterly complaining about how we’re going to use up all ‘their’ social security, sending us all through … Continue reading →

Can you tell that my left breast is now smaller than my right?  Of course not; you couldn’t tell when it was a silly millimeter larger so why would you now?  Biopsy report is expected to be fine and the … Continue reading → Continue reading →

So here’s why short people should not be let loose with hedgetrimmers. Actually, I ended up getting a ladder to finish the top of this one and a couple others. In truth, these shrubs are going to have to go.  … Continue reading →

Mother Rabbit rolls joyfully in the sand where once the pool sat; life has changed. Spotting me, she glares; I’ve closed the gates with chickenwire around the peas she’s pointed out to progeny and lettuce she was waiting for to … Continue reading → Continue reading →

A pleasant quiet Sunday with a ride out to Avon for mowing shoes for the man (no old ones left that are still holding together) and of course, can’t go on Rte. 44 without a stop at Honda, Accura, Suburu … Continue reading → Continue reading →

A good day yesterday spent gardening between the rain, cleaning the house a bit, and putting together a small dinner for a couple of friends.  The man’s in charge of anything on the grill, in this case, baby back ribs … Continue reading → Continue reading →
