Things do degrade right before our eyes

Seriously...I thought I had everything covered and look what happened?  I tried to comment back to a few followers on a post I wrote yesterday, and my login didn't work.  I (aka, my blog) become non-existent again.

Lines, squares, tigers and bears, and wine

This sudden change from 90-degree weather to 40-degree weather with rain sucks the life and motivation right out of our empty nest.  If I'm not careful, I can turn into a wild caged animal.

Temptations of construction

This time of year is challenging for me.  I'm taking lots of deep breaths to avoid extra stress. My blog's hosting site, as well as my purchased theme, all require renewing within a week-long span of time.  Navigating that is always stressful for me. It seems to take me about as long as it takes… Continue reading Temptations of construction
