Or clearing out. Organizing stuff, getting the stuff we don’t want all into one area, one pile, so I can call one of the junk haul away services. So I keep going down and looking around and telling myself I’m planning. Ha. There’s this white dresser that I think I should sell rather than get … [Read more…]
I started writing this Friday, lamenting about how I’m so old and don’t do anything anymore. A whole FOMO post. But now that I’ve had the whole weekend if I start listing all the stuff I did there’s actually kind of a lot. I mean when you’re having two movie weekends you can’t be all … [Read more…]
And I haven’t even told you about Denver, or much beyond our first day there. When I backed up my pictures there were 51 – it’s been that long since I last did a backup. To start, the following pics are our 1st day in Denver and our first post-birthday day back in Madison. Our … [Read more…]
… Or at least trying to, and I had to go to Denver to do it, although not sure being on vacation provides more writing opportunities when the vacation is visiting grandkid #2. I closed my last post saying I’d do better but that hasn’t happened. And that was a whole weekend plus all the … [Read more…]
Whatta week … I was gonna say more like 9 days since I last posted but it’s really only been a week. The political news is crazy, the weather is changeable, and I haven’t been doing very well at photographing food. Or at any of my retirement re-organization projects. Or any of my more vague … [Read more…]
Enervated (one of my mom’s favorite words). Spending too much time sopping up water in the basement. Saturday night we got 3+ inches in something like 3 hours. Quietly freaking about recent political news, although, since Mark is in quarantine upstairs after he tested positive for Covid Friday morning, I’m downstairs with the cats. Which … [Read more…]
Seemingly endless. Or maybe it’s because this is my 1st retired Fourth. The 4th was a Thursday so lots of people were on holiday from the 4th to the 8th. And it’s seemed holiday-mode-ish since the beginning of last week. I just deleted literally hundreds of July 4th sale emails. Our long holiday weekend kind … [Read more…]
And rhubarb, because when we got the last CSA box of our short 4-week season last Thursday, I dumped my kohlrabi in the swap box and in exchange took someone else’s rhubarb that they had dumped. So I got double rhubarb and no kohlrabi which is A-OK with me, but now I do need to … [Read more…]
It’s been so hot and humid, I’ve already received like 5 pounds of zucchini in my CSA box(es). Yesterday – the summer solstice, only the very first official day of summer, and already a zucchini glut – I made zucchini bread and discovered that I need to tweak my recipe. I think I usually make … [Read more…]
Told ya I’d be back. It is now Sunday Monday of after another over scheduled weekend, and I am trying to catch up back to last week. Anyways, it rained last Monday, hard a few times, and I managed not only to bike to the University library and home again without getting significantly wet, I … [Read more…]
