Text Foible
This afternoon I hung two fun garden centric signs in the atrium. One from my eldest (left), and one from Tim (right). My DH was in a meeting, so I texted the image to him. Or so I thought! Turned out I botched the third letter of his name, hit send, and it went to […]
Pictures
I’m populating a shared photo album so we can run a slide show during the celebration of life for my folks in September. I plumbed my Apple pictures, and moved onto other folders on my computer, starting with backups of my parent’s computers. Starting with dad’s, I ran into a couple of dozen photos of […]
June 2026 Island Trip – Day 13
The morning went swimmingly. A fellow stopped by to buy the jacks, which we were unable to use under Stella, and he helped me put the desk my grandfather built (my mom’s father, who I never met) into the back of my truck! Then a few hours later a woman and her husband stopped by […]
June 2026 Island Trip – Day 12
The heat backed off today. I split my focus between sewing and taking care of chores that will advance a smooth departure tomorrow, but nothing too strenuous. The hardest thing I did was untangle a 100’ hose that a gremlin or goblin must have gotten ahold of, because it was put away in an untangled […]
June 2026 Island Trip – Days 10 & 11
I’ve been in Irrigation Irritation hell for the last two days. How a valve/timer/filter setup sits quietly on a shelf for 7-months with no one even looking at with a sideways glance can ‘wakeup’ with stripped threads is beyond me. And the specific filter that needs replacing isn’t available on the Island 🙄. I even […]
June 2026 Island Trip – Day 8
Being recovered from Monday’s drippy grass eradication, I mowed for 6.5 hours today. Yes I make questionable choices from time to time, and the rider is put away until July. It just had to get fucking done. I need to call our blade guy to both change the mower blades (I think I’m bludgeoning the […]
June 2026 Island Trip – Day 7
After yesterday’s mowing madness in the wet weather, I sewed and visited with my neighbor to the east today. It was a delightful difference. I also made a few quilt blocks from the shop-hop accumulations from 16-19 years ago 😳. It’s a finite project that doesn’t take up a lot of space. Weather dictates that […]
June 2026 Island Trip – Day 6
The weather closed down today. Nothing dramatic, just wet all day long. I was able to finish the grass around the house, and most of the east field before things got too sopping to continue. I also got a couple of loads of laundry done. Even though our clothes line is out of the weather […]
