Happy New Year 2024

Am I the only one freaking out about it being 2024? I'm sure I'm not but, phew, how amazing is this! I still remember landlines, T.V. antennas, and cassette tapes. Hell, I still remember 8-tracks. So, yeah, my head is spinning a bit but I'm still ever so grateful to be alive in these momentous…Read more Happy New Year 2024

Hurry Up and Wait

I suck at waiting. I've gotten better over the years but I'm still having one hell of a time with this whole house search. I mentioned last week that we were scheduled to see a house but we decided not to even go after looking over the pictures one more time. There just wasn't enough…Read more Hurry Up and Wait

Pretty Freaking Awesome Pt. 13

I have never been nor ever will be clamoring for the latest and greatest of anything but especially technology. For that reason I've had the same phone for 10 or 11 years. I knew it was time for a new one when I couldn't get some of my apps to work right. Then there was…Read more Pretty Freaking Awesome Pt. 13

NGTS – Pt. 71

We just finished up another week of house hunting and, boy, let me tell you looking at houses is one of the most frustrating things I have ever done. Between the low inventory and high asking prices it's hard not to get discouraged. But we only need one house and I get more listings everyday…Read more NGTS – Pt. 71

Pretty Freaking Awesome vs. NGTS

I wasn't sure what title to use for this post. Usually when I have a group of pictures I want to share I wait until I have 'nothing good to say' to post them. But this time I stumbled upon a feature of my cell phone camera which I thought was 'pretty freaking awesome'. So,…Read more Pretty Freaking Awesome vs. NGTS

Embrace the Silence

How long has it been since you've been alone with just you and your thoughts? Do you ever remember not having some outside source of stimulation? How long has it been since you haven't had easy access to your phone or computer? If you grew up in the 1980s then perhaps you remember a childhood…Read more Embrace the Silence

Pretty Freaking Awesome – Pt. 5

I know digital photography is nothing new but I've been scanning negatives for over a month now and have to say how awesome it is that I won't have to do this again. Any of you out there who remember the pain and frustration of having to send the film away and wait for the…Read more Pretty Freaking Awesome – Pt. 5

There Will Be Peace

So this has been quite the week. R.J. and I have been out and about quite a bit - for us anyway - so we've interacted with more people than usual. I mentioned one encounter in my last post Listen and Learn. I was going to leave it at that, but we had another incident…Read more There Will Be Peace

Pretty Freaking Awesome

I mentioned last week that I re-stained our back deck recently. What I failed to mention was that I started it at noon on a cloudless day. The temperature wasn't too bad, but the deck is on the south side of our house with no shade whatsoever. In other words, the chances of getting burned…Read more Pretty Freaking Awesome

Surface Relationships

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Still waters run deep. You've only scratched the surface. So many sayings, so little time. And now we're able to attach them to some random picture and post or tweet it whenever we like. Remember when we only had posters? But I'm getting off topic here, because I…Read more Surface Relationships
