Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
I had an aunt who was an artist. She was so talented. She had a ceramic shop when I was growing up and my sister and I lived at her house as much as our house. We helped her with the molds and unloading the kiln. She could paint faces that looked like they were just about to talk. She and my uncle...

Mom, My Water Pipe Broke. What do I do?

OK enough is enough. Joe came over today to stay with his Uncle Richard. I made plans for "ME". First I thought I would go to Jamaica and take a really long soak in the jacuzzi uninterrupted. I started spraying the tub to make sure all the scrubbing bubbles were gone. The tub was stopped up and...

Self Care Takes a Lot of Work
It has been a day. I woke up with a migraine so it was a quick breakfast for Richard and back to sleep I went. Besides it was too cold outside to be up. It was 2 degrees this morning. I must say that having the underneath of the house insulated has made a big difference this year. Still just the...

Gone to Jamaica Maaaan
It was a good day and excellent day. Overlooking having to pay for a new water heater, I am very thankful to have hot water again and that JT raised the temperture so it is really hot. The last water heater I had to replace the kids were little so I had it set at 120 degrees to prevent scalding. I...
