Lucky Us!

I no more than got my last post for the day entered so all I had to do was hit ENTER on all five of them.... and then power went out. Lucky me!! We are safe, but it is raining something fierce here right now. We will ride it out and we'll be back soon... or as Annie sang... The sun will be out... Sign in to see full entry.

Food for thought. The difference between Hope and Faith. Hope says, "I hope everything goes the way I want." Faith says, "I know things will work out for the best." Sign in to see full entry.

Whoa. I think my wife walked into the bedroom and fell into bed and is sleeping already. We started putting up the new dog fencing yesterday, and between the three hours we worked on it yesterday and the seven we put in today, the job is done. We ran over 325 feet of heavy-duty fencing around our... Sign in to see full entry.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

It was forty-seven years ago today that the Fitzgerald left port in Superior, Wisconsin, and headed east. She would flounder some 30 hours later near Whitefish Bay Point, a place I used to stand on for hours not that long ago. This is a map of her trip and her official story. Edmund Fitzgerald June...

Whew, We have been working to install a bit over 300' of heavy wire fencing around the backyard to keep the dogs inside the fence so they can go out and come in at will. The original roll of wire weighed more than both of us together, but we've managed to erect about 180 feet so far. I think it gets... Sign in to see full entry.

Our power came back on at about 9:30 last night, just in time to catch a couple of the television programs we follow. I record everything we want to watch because our schedule has been absolutely crazy the last few months, so we didn't miss anything important. The way I have our house set up is just...

It was nice to sleep in this morning. I'm going to hate it when this stuff swings back an hour forward. The church next door has several of the men who get the building ready for Sunday morning services pull into the parking lot very close to our bedroom window on "hogs," or great big, LOUD...

Good morning. We have about a half day of work ahead this morning. Since we got down here, we have been working on the house and the yead about six to ten hours a day, and without bragging, we have moved mountains. For a 'petite girl,' Lisa has been an invaluable force beside me. It's been an... Sign in to see full entry.

So It Begins

A cooler night at 54 early this morning. We were quite comfortable under the blankets and quilts we brought from the UP. When the dogs wanted out earlier, I turned the heater up to take the humidity out and warmed it up to about 75 in the room, and then shut it back off. Today will be the beginning...
