My last post was about the last quiet relaxing day I’ve had in a month! It’s been nuts around here…I’ve barely been home and when I have been home, I’ve just had time to feed the dogs, give them some loves then head for the next obligation. What time I haven’t been sleeping, eating or […]
Other than a trip to Walmart and Dollar General for cleaning supplies, I’ve spent most of the day hanging around the house. I’ve enjoyed it too. We even sat outside for a spell. The whole yard reeks of lilacs, we have several huge bushes and they’re so overpowering they nearly block the air from your […]
Lately, with so much of our time being taken up with work and the crazy high price of gas, we’ve been trying to find more comfort at home…trying to carve out a little oasis of solace, if you will.
The moment I saw this Indoor or Outdoor Swing Chair it was love at first sight. Imagine […]
I was sitting at my desk typing when the aftershock hit, the whole house trembled for several seconds. I thought I felt a few smaller aftershocks earlier, but nothing as scary as the last one. We were awakened this morning by a booming sound and a long low rumble, our bed was shaking like crazy, […]
Has anyone else noticed how many great sellers are disappearing from Ebay?
In the past I have both bought and sold, but with the new changes I’m pretty sure my selling days are over and possibly my buying days as well. As of May, sellers will no longer be able to leave buyers, no matter how […]
Well, this may have been our worst Wurstfest ever! The food, music and wine, as always were great, but the weather was miserably cold and damp most of the weekend. We also tried a new restaurant, which was way too expensive and the food was disappointing.
Normally, we go to a place called the River’s […]
I haven’t been able to post for quite awhile. When we got back from Hermann late Sunday, we found a message on our answering machine telling us that a good friend had died. The following day we headed to Mt. Vernon to visit the family. It was gut-wrenching, our dear sweet friend was only 53 […]
I was just wondering, does anyone out there reading this blog have any questions pertaining to dolls, doll repair, pottery repair, the meaning of life? I wonder sometimes if anything I write is even read, or if all this wisdom is just going to waste, rather like when I offer my sterling advice to my […]
I went shopping with my mom today. I probably should have stayed home and cleaned my house but we haven’t been able to spend much time together since I’ve been working. We stopped by an antique place and I almost bought a teddy bear from the 1930’s. It was in pretty rough shape though, […]
We’re going to Hermann Missouri this weekend for the Wurstfest and I’m hoping it will be the best Wurstfest ever! For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Wurstfest, it’s all about the wurst, or sausage. Hermann, which is an old German town, sponsors the event every year. Droves of eager wurst makers […]
