Summer time blues...

Yesterday morning the guests left and all day long, I felt blahhhhhhhhhhh! Tired, maybe? Relieved?? Or maybe it's just the heat. It hit 100 degrees yesterday in Texas! Too hot to get out much past 10:00 am and then in the evening, the humidity is still too hot so I just rested on the couch; having... Sign in to see full entry.

The house is quiet for a few minutes until the little one comes back...

We are entertaining our niece and her husband and little boy (6 yrs) today and tonight. They are the ones who are moving from south TX to Rhode Island. Stopping along the way to see friends and family and camping out and taking their time before starting a new life. The little boy got in the pool... Sign in to see full entry.

Rise above your circumstances………………...

I guess one never likes attending funerals; simply because they are sad times but I attended a funeral today. My husband’s business partner’s mother passed away this week and we attended. His mom was 80 years old and had been stricken with MS at the age of 30; 50 years of having to cope with this... Sign in to see full entry.

"We are out of water but we have no money", she said...

My husband had just done a $3000 job for an elderly couple he knew; he was raised in the same community as them so he felt very sorry for them, knowing it would be a hardship for them to pay for having their well fixed but he did it anyways just because of the community ties. And they say they will... Sign in to see full entry.

Cell phones...what did we ever do without them?

A couple of years ago, my phone contract ended and for some reason I didn't want a "tied-contract" and so I bought the little go-phones and pay as you go for both my husband & myself. They have been working out well but Howard Clark (the financial wizard) recommended the new deal that Metro PCS has... Sign in to see full entry.

Father's Day was a good day with family...

The girls and grandchildren came over to swim and we ordered pizza! Son-in-laws stayed home to a "quiet" house and enjoyed their day. I don't ever remember having a Father's Day with my dad. My mom & dad divorced when we three girls were so little that I never got to really know him; only the times... Sign in to see full entry.

What makes a Dad? ...

Today I wish every "Dad" a wonderful Father's Day. My husband was and is a good dad to his two girls. I read this post in our local newspaper this morning (Dear Annie) of what makes a dad. Thought I would pass it along to all the dads out there. There is a huge difference between what makes a... Sign in to see full entry.

I’ve used my creativity this week on the rental property...

In the middle of our clean-up, we decided to try and sell the property; he is ready to downsize, thank the Lord! And after a couple of days of painting alone (he hates to paint) and he was needed outside for the clean-up, anyways, I was able to get some help with the painting. My niece was needing...

One must think I have really lost my sanity as I talked to the bugs...

"This wall isn't big enough for the both of us," I said yesterday as I was painting and the roaches were crawling in various places of the rental house I was working on. Yuck!!! I hate bugs of any kind but especially, roaches. But the job has to get done and so I spray the house and disturb their... Sign in to see full entry.
