Enjoy your trip, Hana!
I'm making good progress on the windows.
Instead of visiting facilities, I had Mom evaluated for in-home hospice care (she has declined quite a bit). She isn't eligible...

I will add it to my list.

Happy: I read Bridget Jones a long time ago, but I remember it as a fun book.
Catherine: I've read a lot of Jodi's books, although not in recent years. I always thought she could spin a good tale...

I do cross out and write the new amount. It doesn't have to be pretty, just legible. I don't often have one large enough to have multiple transactions.

Yesterday we went to our local Batteries Plus store because we needed a light bulb that was somewhat unusual. When I was checking their website, I saw that they take fluorescent tubes for recycling,...

I would not want to live in an enclave of these dangerously irrational people, even if the house was free.

Happy: you can also write the balance on the card with a Sharpie. I saw someone else do this once, and I adopted the practice.

Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo is one of my very favorite books.

I have a FB friend (whose life is the epitome of a dumpster fire), who is having a very difficult time finding housing due at least in part to poor credit. My team at my corporate job handled...

That is indeed amusing, IL.

I paid as much attention to the OJ Simpson trial as I do to the British royal family. I don't think I watched a single minute of it.

My mom was an RN, but stopped working when I was born and was a SAHM for the duration. Most of my friends' moms did not work. My MIL worked part-time until her kids were older, and then she worked...

I'm with IL and Tradd on this one. I'm glad I live in the lush and civilized northeast. I would love to see the Grand Canyon some day, if only it weren't in Arizona, lol.

Kitty does not look impressed!

Pretty rainbow, Tybee. Was that during the eclipse?

It was a really warm, beautiful spring day here, so we spent time working out in the garden. We put on our eclipse glasses every 10 -15 mins...

A top item on my wish list was a long-sleeved gray t-shirt. LL Bean is my go-to for t-shirts, but for some reason, they don't make women's in gray. Saturday, sister and I went to a really nice...

I rehomed a small wooden cabinet via one of my local FB giving pages. It hung in our kitchen forever and it was a very useful little thing. I had plans to strip and refinish it, but there really...

We're not in the path of totality, but close enough. I bought eclipse glasses online several months ago. I plan to pretty much go about my business but I can take a look now and again without...

The bookcase is all painted, and the rolling pantry is all prepped and painted.

Welcome back, Kib! What prompted your move?

I would gently suggest that he might not have been the best financial advisor either.

We've never lost power for more than a couple of hours. We are also right by the public safety building, so perhaps that makes a difference. We've got a couple of kerosene lamps that provide enough...

IL: The first floor we did was our bedroom in 1997 and it still looks great.

IL: No, it's prefinished solid oak hardwood (by Bruce). We now have this in every room of the house except for the bathroom, which is tile. We did all the other floors ourselves.

Happy Birthday, Catherine!
