We’re gonna have a good time
I’m glad it’s my birthday
Happy birthday to me!!!

No water in the house this morning. There’s a water main break (well, duh) but that’s all we can find out. The city hasn’t given the dispatch office any other information. [...]

No Ten on Tuesday today.
Um, wow, I guess the combination of mud and young guys hit a chord with a bunch of us so I went searching for the photos I took last year on the premise of giving your audience what they want.
And of course, all I could find was this:
Apparently, I was [...]
That’s how many of the registered voters in our precinct showed up to vote yesterday. It was a primary for both major parties with some contested races, but none where the outcome was really in question.
And then we had Proposition C which would invalidate the federal requirement that most people purchase health insurance or [...]
Brain chatter — the June edition
Posted in Life on Jun 30th, 2010
Just barely still June, but it counts. Holy moley the year is half gone.

Now that the veggie garden is planted and it’s mostly maintenance chores, I’ve spent the last week pulling weeds and spreading mulch in the flower garden around the house. I ran out of mulch before I ran out of garden. When I [...]
I’ve signed up to participate in Ten on Tuesday, in which a bunch of us come up with our own answers to preselected topics. This week’s topic: Ten ways to entertain a child.
I managed to acquire grandkids without having kids myself and I have a serious background in aunting (is too a word) with various [...]
These irises started blooming about the time the tree peony blossoms died back. Now they’re both faded and the summer flowers are coming on.
And peas! I have peas! OK, maybe only enough for one meal if you have a tiny appetite, but these make me happy. They’re bigger than this now and I’ve been pulling [...]
Brain chatter – the May edition

ETA: to add links I was too lazy to do yesterday and clarify a point here and there.
It seems like a century since I was last here.

The travels for health and pleasure are finished for a while. Jack has been checked out tip to toe and the upshot is he’ll be a woodworker [...]
It’s been an incredibly busy couple of weeks and I’ll get around to a recap next week. The last post was about the garden and there’s been much progress made. It still looks mostly like piles of dirt but there are green things planted and hopefully some of them will grow.

Tomorrow my sisters and I [...]
We were married in a small church a few miles from where I grew up. My sister Gail was my maid of honor, my brother Ronald walked me down the aisle. Jack’s brother-in-law Bob was his best man.
After the wedding and luncheon, most everyone went to an after-wedding party at my Mom’s home where the [...]
Have I mentioned how much I like pansies?
They’re the first flowers I buy each spring. I can’t wait to plant them, even if they get buried under 6 inches of snow the day after.
They’re easy to care for, always bright and cheerful, come in more colors than daffodils, and a bed of them looks soft [...]
