While out on an excursion, I captured the image of this solitary sailboat out on the water. It was a picture perfect day, serene and peaceful. Things weren’t so serene or peaceful on the boat I was on as I ‘fed the fish’ after consuming a rather large lunch and becoming seasick. As much as

An old friend reached out to me via text this morning and told me how excited she was that we would be moving back. I told her that I wasn’t sure whether it was going to even happen because we’d had no movement whatsoever with the sale of our home. “Lower the price?” she suggested.

This is my second favorite photo from the recent getaway I took. It reminds me a great deal of my childhood. I spent many afternoons combing the beach, looking for colored glass or interesting rocks. I don’t recall spending a lot of time in the water because it was far too cold, but I enjoyed

As I sit here tonight, I am wondering to myself, “How many more answers to their questions must we provide before they’re satisfied?” And when I refer to ‘they’, I’m referring to the people who are ‘very’ interested in our house. As it turns out, the open house that was held a couple of days

I had a heck of a time deciding which photo I wanted to feature today. But of all the ones I took, this one appealed to me the most. During our overnight getaway, my husband and I got to spend a little time at the beach/waterfront. This image shows a number of boats at the

What a strange day it’s been! An open house was scheduled so I suggested to my husband that we plan a little overnight getaway and spend some time with my family on the other side of the mountains (since we had to make ourselves scarce anyway). After checking with the dog boarder to see if

I call this photo ‘Nature’s Candy’. When we first moved into our home, a friend of the family gave us some starter thornless blackberry bushes. Once we planted them, they flourished, so much so that they’ve practically taken over the garden. My husband trimmed them way back in the spring but that didn’t seem to

July 24, 2021 – Self-Sabotage

If you’d like me to bungle something for you, give me a shout. I don’t mind helping you out, I’m a great ‘bungler’. I’ve been doing it for the better part of my life and have had tons of practice. And there seems to be no end in sight as I continue to bungle things,

I snapped a photo of this little guy through a pane of glass. When I saw how it turned out, I was disappointed. In an attempt at a better photo, I stood outside and waited for him to return, but he was so skittish, he refused to take a drink from the feeder as long

July 22, 2021 – Milestones and more.

I reached a significant milestone this week. Since I started my blog back in September of 2020, I have managed to accumulate 302 followers. In fact, carlie, you helped me reach the big 3-0-0 and I’d like to thank you for that! I’ve been at this for ten months solid and although it hasn’t resulted
