Cool Weather Arrives

October 15, 2024 Last night, it was windy and the wind brought cool weather. When I arrived at Blackberry Homestead this afternoon, I put frozen items into the freezer and some cold items into the refrigerator. I had these tubes of various food items. I wasn’t sure how to store them in my new fridge. […]

Picture for Jeanne

October 4, 2024 My friend Jeanne from ajeanneinthekitchen.com said she would love a piece of art from me. I decided to make it a collaboration and used a picture Jeanne took as my starting point. Jeanne’s picture was of white Irises edged with a beautiful dark purple. I worked on her picture for several days. […]

Movers Canceled and Deposit Refunded (Hopefully)

October 15, 2024 Bruce and I decided to cancel the movers. My blog pal Leslie, from theadventuresofbiteydog.com, had mentioned that a friend of hers had her property held hostage until she paid the movers twice as much as quoted and this was after the movers had taken a month to make a three day move.

Move Rant, Feel Free to Skip

October 14, 2024 Since I hadn’t heard from the movers, I called them today. Either the man I set the move up with doesn’t understand several things or he is just an outright liar. First, I was told that we would talk again before the move. It didn’t happen. I called the number he gave […]

Missing Your Comments on the Blog

October 14, 2024 I wasn’t ignoring you on purpose. I just discovered many comments from several of you in the Jetpack pending comments section. Why I didn’t see them in my notifications, I don’t know. I know this happens, but I forget to check the pending section as often as I should. I have approved […]

Bruce on the Way to Denver, CO

Purchased Induction Range Today

October 12, 2024 I received a coupon in the mail from Home Depot for 15% off up to $200 dollars. Home Depot is currently running a special on appliances as well. After looking at gas ranges and considering that we would need gas plumbing added to the stove location, we decided to consider induction. I’ve […]
