Room Formerly Known As Rick’s Room: Floored by the effort
Painting is done. I have visions of a nice floor that isn’t carpet. I have to consider Ms. Sascha when I pick a floor though. Rich likes to say she has diamond tipped nails. That’s pretty close to the truth. They are almost harder than diamonds. After shopping around, I found a hickory laminate floor […]

Room Formerly Known as Rick’s Room: Rehab Begins
I’m winding down on the rehabilitation of the Room Formerly Known as Rick’s Room. I was planning to do one long blog, but have decided that I really should do a blog of each task that I have performed. Then I can do one blog for the finish. First step was to take out the […]

Stink, stank, stunk
Saturday night is quiet. Just me and my hubby hanging out enjoying a little quiet time together. About 10 o’clock, Sascha needs to go out for the evening. We talk about going to bed soon. Sascha wants to go and stretch her legs around the yard. I’m sure she will be some squatting and depositing […]

Rick has left the building
That day has finally come. On Saturday, Rick left for Michigan to begin the next chapter in his life. I got up early on Saturday and was settled into the red chair with Sascha reading the paper when Rick got up. He looked out the window at the inch or so of new snow on […]

Very Merry Zurek Christmas
No dog to wake me up at 6:00 AM! I managed to sleep in until 9:00. What heaven. We were in no hurry to get moving. Since everyone thought we were out shopping for a shirt this morning, it worked to our advantage to do it last night. Breakfast was starting to sound pretty good […]

Today, we travel to Michigan
I got up with Sascha to get things started. I needed to make sure she went out and came back in to eat before we left to drop her at the kennel. Unfortunately, she was spending a few days at the kennel while we went to Michigan for Zurek Christmas. I knew she wouldn’t be […]

Christmas Day 2014
We slept in this morning. That’s the benefit of not having little ones at this time. Even Sascha slept in this morning. I think she was tired from the scootering yesterday. She made three separate trips out. But she was so happy. I got up and got Sascha outside where she promptly took up station […]

Christmas Eve 2014
Vacation is nice. I got up early with Sascha, but ended up back in bed since I was so tired. I got up late because of this rotation. Breakfast was simple because Rich had eaten in the meantime. The day was pretty low key. Rich started the makings for Zurek soup using a recipe that […]

Great Weekend in October
What a beautiful weekend. Hard to believe it’s the end of October. On Saturday, the temp was upper 60s to low 70s. On Sunday, the temp was mid 60s. Both days had plenty of sunshine. I even opened up the windows on Saturday to air out the house. Saturday morning, I kind of got up […]

An episode of “The Fugitive” being filmed in my neighborhood?
This morning around 2:00, the telephone rang. There was no message when it went to the answering machine. We were thinking how inconsiderate someone was to call at that hour. I finally got up after hitting the snooze a couple times, which was around 5:00. I was working at my desk when Rick came wondering […]
