We all have our little nicknames for that furry kid in the house.  My personal favorite is Sascharini.  Rich goes between Sasch and Saschi.  Anyway you say it, it’s Sascha and she’s adorable. Rich has been thinking there are lessons to be learned from Sascha. When it is time to go to bed, just let […]

It’s Monday.  We had a great weekend. First off, Rich and I took off from work on Friday.  I took advantage of the time off to sleep in a  little extra.  We had a lot of running around to do in preparation for the party on Saturday.  Someone had to lug that huge piece of […]

I did do a blog, but I was waiting to pull off the pictures.  I know, not an excuse.  Here is the earlier blog, with pictures. Wow, it’s the beginning of April!  Where the first half of the year go?  Too bad the weather doesn’t know that it is Spring.  We finally saw 60s on […]

I never got a blog posted last week!  I think I just got so busy and only worked on it sporadically.  Today, I plan to complete a blog for this week and last.Busy Weeks During the week, I feel like I can’t think about anything but work.  I do a lot of planning in my […]

I posted late last time.  This threw off my timing for the next posts as well.  I really didn’t have anything new to say either.  This week, I have a couple of things to talk about. Rich did some shopping around for a drywaller to put up the dry wall and finish off the taping […]

What a difference in the weather over the week!  We went from 50s to single digits.  I hate winter.  Unfortunately, you have to have a real winter to enjoy a nice spring and summer.  I just don’t have to enjoy the cold and snow, do I? This week, I was in class for two days.  […]

This first week of January 2013 has come and gone with relatively little happening.  Not surprisingly, work was slow and not much was happening around the house.  It was a good week. On Thursday, we went out to eat for our usual family night out.  Rich and I decided we need margaritas and we headed […]

Why is it that the very last thing that needs to be done on any project takes forever to get done?  We are waiting on the post covers to come in and get installed.  That’s the very last thing that needs to be done and the garage will be done.  It’s been a couple of […]

Garage seems to be at a standstill.  Talked to Pete D. and he assure us that the post covers and Leafguard will be installed this week.  That will mean the end of his involvement as a contractor.  It also means that Rich needs to write out the check for the final amount.  Seems like a […]

On Monday (11/26), the building supplies appeared in the driveway.  Trusses for the roof are lying in the yard.  It was exciting to come home on Monday and see that things are really going to happen.  The waiting was over. Rick called me at the office on Tuesday (11/27).  Two guys showed up first thing […]
