Hanging Curtains in the Living Room

December 17, 2024 I woke this morning to the sound of thunder. How far off I wondered, as the thunder rolled over us. We had quite the thunderstorm with pouring rain. Bruce checked to see if any water leaked in and we didn’t have any leaks! Back on December 13, I ordered a curtain rod […]

New Light Fixtures Installed

December 14, 2024 On Thursday, Bruce installed a couple of light fixtures to replace fixtures that hung down at head height for the tall unwary. One of the men who installed the range hood hit his head on the large boxy fixture that was at the end of the living room. The new fixtures match […]

Testing the Soil

December 13, 2024 Earlier this week, I dug up a little more than a cup of dirt from about 4 inches down. I dug this up where I was considering planting my garden. I have a soil testing kit to determine how acidic my soil is and what the levels for nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus […]

Installing the New Dishwasher

December 2, 2024 Yesterday, we started installing the new dishwasher that was delivered while Bruce was at his dad’s. Here is Bruce unboxing the dishwasher while Nox watches.

Nightstand in Place

A Project Completed While Bruce Was Gone

November 26, 2024 Bruce started home today. Google predicted 8 1/2 hours to arrive home. Bruce was expecting to arrive by 5:00 – 5:30 PM. The Atlanta, Georgia traffic jam was way, way worse than he was expecting. It delayed him by three hours. He stopped in Anniston, Alabama for supper and decided to stay […]

Hanging Up the Sailing Ship Mobile

November 25, 2024 I decided to use a hanging Command Strip to hang up the Danish Flensted Dinghy Regatta 5 mobile in my office/studio. The sunlight was streaming in from my window. I was very pleased with the effect. The effect didn’t last for long. Here is the mobile from the door. We’ve had the […]

Added Some Decorative Touches to Shower Curtain

November 13, 2024 My fabric pens arrived on Monday. I was excited to try them out on the shower curtain. I was busy with other things, so I didn’t decorate the shower curtain until yesterday evening. Here’s the before picture. Here’s the after picture. I free handed this with the fabric pens. I was pleased […]
