Day 1 Garage Begins
Tuesday, November 6 We left for the office this morning with an intact yard. I bounced Rick out of bed early to go vote with us. I say bounced because I unleashed the energy of Sascha on him. She lands on you with both feet and bounces around the bed before she settles down. By […]

Time to start a new project
The weather has turned cool here. That can only mean that winter is on the way. Where do I sign up to move to better weather? I have a feeling winter will be particularly brutal this year. I just hope I’m wrong about that. Winter is far from my favorite season. Anything below 40 is […]

Stage 1 Garage Construction: And the trees must fall
On Thursday, Rich put his signature on the plans for a new garage. Our contractor, Pete D., brought out the latest plan for sign off and to move the process along. I did my part and got a new plat started showing the latest changes to the house. The next thing was removal of four trees from […]

End of September already?
Last week, someone said that they would see me at Christmas. I was thinking it was still a ways away. Not! How could it be the end of September already? I just went on vacation (back in May) and we just had the pig roast (back in June). I know, I know. Only an old […]

Pondering the standing desk
Yesterday, I finally figured out why my back has been hurting when I work at home. My chair is worn out! You’d think I’d notice something like that. Where I normally sit has worn away the padding. I’m not even sure how old the chair is, probably 5 years. It was a cheap one since […]

More Sascha Stuff
This is all good stuff though. So Rich bought a Walky Dog. This contraption fits to the seat on your bike and connects to the dog. Then you can ride your bike and the dog can walk or run beside you. We had seen a video of a lady using this device to walk her […]

Week of September 10
Monday started out extremely busy. My list of things to do was growing very rapidly. Work had a lot going on. Now that we are down one person, I’m twice as busy. We’ve figured out the logistics and we are looking for a new contractor. I hope we can find someone who is willing to […]

Sascha 1 and Squirrels 0
That’s the line that Rick gave on his Facebook page about Sascha’s latest adventure. Everyone is aware of her preoccupation with squirrels by now. We were told that if we didn’t give her a job around the house that she would find one for herself. And she did. She patrols for squirrels and other small furry […]

Aww! End of summer already?
I always hate to see Labor Day come. It’s the end of summer and it starts the beginning of fall and cooler weather. If you didn’t know it, I love, love, love the hot weather. Growing up in Southern Indiana, it was usually warm and humid. So I’m used to that type of weather. I […]

New Nickname for Sascha
So I went home to Southern Indiana last weekend. I took somethings down to hand over to others. I had some administrative things to do for my sister. I hadn’t been home in over a year now. Seemed strange. But with Dad gone, I just hadn’t found a good reason to make the 6 hour […]
