Trolls – the good kind
I am very sorry that trolls have a bad reputation. As a child, I played with trolls and they were some of my favorite toys. Here is my collection, saved from the junk man. Of course, I had to bring these to my home. Although, I am not sure Mr. Ken was as excited as […]
Surreal customer service
June 22, 2016
Once upon a time there was a nice lady named Nancy, who always tried to be a responsible adult. After her mother died, Nancy dutifully changed the mailing address to her own house. She even went in person to the local post office to do this. A week later, mail was still coming to the […]
Happy memories
June 15, 2016
It has been tough to clean out my childhood home and get it ready to sell. In some ways, this has been harder on me than the week the my dear Mom died. But, somehow I am managing to get through it. Cleaning out the house has had some happy moments too. As I was […]
What a little paint and polish can do!
June 8, 2016
Okay, here it is – the before and after pictures. I now consider myself quite knowledgeable in: plumbing plastering painting. Who knew?

The mystery of wood
April 6, 2016
So I have been cleaning out my parents’ house. They weren’t packrats, but they lived in this house for over 50 years, so there is a lot of stuff to be cleaned out! I thought I would have a hard time going over to the house after Mom died. But surprisingly, I haven’t been too […]
Spring flowers

Nothing too deep this week, just a pretty picture of the beautiful flowers my dear mother-in-law sent me recently. Even though I still grieve for my mother, I am happy that spring is coming. I can’t help but smile when I look at these pretty flowers. I am constantly amazed that simple things can bring […]
