AN
In talking with my AN about an easement he needs in order to have the power company take power from my transformer to his well (so I don’t have to provide power for the well anymore) he let me know his latest MRI was not what they’d hoped. He’s not going to pursue further treatment. […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 10
It’s amazing to me that it’s the last day of August. Every year it’s amazing to me that it’s the last day of August! The sunset is moving south, the vine maple is turning color, the onions are ready to harvest, and the poppy seed pods are ready to sprinkle about the garden. My DH […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 9
It was a good day, and went kinda like this: We head back tomorrow.
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 8
The house is now primed. It kinda kicked my butt because I’m compulse, and it’s done. If a monsoon rolls in, there’s no more bare thirsty wood to suck up water. Whew! My DH was my hero wielding the roller, which made my compulsiveness, I mean my job, much easier! He also removed the down […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 7
We did only things that pleased us today. No work, no tasks, nothing urgent got done. I’m very proud of us! We went to a state park, wandered the harbor at the resort on the Island, marveling at the building-sized yachts, paused for a late afternoon snack, returned here to a mystery bottle of champagne […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 5
The rain made sure no further work was competed on the house today, so I slept in, made a fast run to town, and had fun constructing five quilt blocks. We had an early (for us) dinner with friends in town, and are now back to a chatty cat who thinks he should have a […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 4
The weather was finally conducive to working on the house exterior. The building needed a lot more scraping than I expected… And it got done. I also deployed two tubes of caulk that my AN calls, “Siding in a tube.” All in all it took about 4-hours. My DH and the cat arrived just after […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 3
As promised, it rained all night. A benefit of trailer life is hearing the rain on your roof. I don’t know what it is about that noise makes for amazing sleep, but it does, and I’m thankful. When I visited with our AN today, their rain gage showed 3.5” over the last week! Not our […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 2
The rain kept me from getting going on the house this morning. That’s OK… There are eight more days in which to at least prime the raw wood. I try to shampoo the carpets in the trailer at least once a year. It’s been two years. I did that after dealing with the great chicken […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 1
I left our mainland home in time to top off my capacious gas tank on the reservation, where gas is a dollar less a gallon, and then made it to the town, where the ferry terminal is, early enough to pause at the fabric shop. I found two flannel remnants. Spent less than $10! 😁 […]
