We Have Water

Karen — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:17:54 +0000

I am washing sheets and doing dishes like a mad woman! It feels so good to have water again. When the plumbers came they had to dig down approx. 6 feet and remove concrete to get to the pipe that had the problem. A curved galvanized pipe that connects our water lines to our well [...]

Heard Any Good Jokes Lately?

Karen — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:38:17 +0000

I need some cheering up. This is a whine so you don’t have to read any further if you don’t want to hear me rant. My husband looked out in the backyard yesterday afternoon and saw water standing in the yard. We have been in a drought so it was a shock to see the [...]

110 Days of Construction

For the past 4 or 5 years, our mayor has been telling us that the road in front of our home will be repaired. I should say, he is saying it will be taken out down to the bare bones and replaced. This is a good thing. The run off during the winter forms icy [...]

Truisms

Karen — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 23:45:57 +0000

A friend sent me these truisms. I was surprised when, at each one I thought, that is so true! Truisms – 1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re [...]

We Went to the Movies

Karen — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 12:46:48 +0000

I have been sick since Thursday and while the medicine the doctor gave me certainly made things better, my body feels out of whack. I cannot get enough sleep! Hubby and I both took naps yesterday and feared we would not sleep when the bedtime hour arrived. We decided to make our evening eventful by [...]

Destination Unknown

Karen — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:33:42 +0000

Yesterday, in an effort to avoid yard work, my husband decided we would hit the road. He only planned to go down highway 29. We invited both of our moms to go and they enthusiastically accepted the invite. They always love it when they can ride without having to decide what time to be somewhere [...]

Hurray for Saturday!

Karen — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 20:07:33 +0000

I spent yesterday with a migraine. I had to work through it because our store is open on Fridays. Luckily, I was able to catch a nap that eased the pain quite a bit. Hubby and I ate supper at a Mexican restaurant and I had a Margarita that just about put me to sleep. [...]

The Breeze at the Outer Banks

Karen — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 02:19:16 +0000

It has been so hot and muggy here in Indiana that I have not wanted to go outside. Summer is my most favorite season except when the humidity is at 90% and one feels the need to shower every time they venture outdoors. Years ago, when my daughter was attending school in Elizabeth City, NC, [...]

Juicy Chin!

According to the contributors over at Tasty Kitchen, August is National Peach Month. I cannot tell you how happy that makes me! I love peaches. It is an art to pick out a good peach but when you do, it is magical. There is no shame in relaxing in your favorite outdoor chaise lounges, taking [...]

How Much Longer

Karen — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 14:11:51 +0000

will my laptop last? I have not seen my laptop for two weeks because it is, once again, at the repair shop. I think they have had it more than me. Sigh. I am resigned to reading laptop reviews to decide which type of laptop I should purchase to replace it. I don’t need a [...]
