Throwback Thursday – #tbt – New Couches (March 2010)

Shea and I still have the cheap couches we bought at The Brick nearly a decade ago. They’re now ripped, stained and worn so we decided to take advantage of the Retirement Sale at local furniture institution, Alford’s, to buy some new furniture. It won’t arrive until early December and we’re excited to (finally) get […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Card House (December 2014)

It’s not quite “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” level decorating and I really should’ve gotten my butt up a ladder and extended the lights in that cedar tree in the front of our house right to the top. But I’ve always liked coming home to a snow-filled yard, some green and red floodlights, a blow-up decoration […]

Ten Things I’m Thankful For This Thanksgiving

Nothing too surprising on this list but here you go… 1. Although my mother-in-law battled a serious form of cancer for most of last year, she’s doing much better and, knock on wood, everyone else in our immediate family is doing well healthwise from Sasha who’s six years old to my dad who’s seventy years […]

Weeding As a Life Philosophy

Shea and I got around to a *long* overdue task of decluttering our garage this weekend. Strangely, it reminded me of when I was in my first librarian job and (purposely?) my boss assigned me a major weeding project. They just kept bringing me packed cart after overloaded cart of books and I had to […]
