This is a photo from my walk in Broad Run Park earlier this week.
And to think, today I didn’t go anywhere, and it cost me over $600!
The electrician showed up. It was easy getting him here. The hard part was getting him...

Turns out that over spring break the agencies that have grants to work on my repairs are going to be busy here.
I need to tidy up and organize so that they have good access.
I know that I will get a new furnace to replace the...

All the appointments are done for six months for Bob. He had two today.

Roof estimate day.
Today was a day I wasn’t exactly looking forward to.
Instead, it turned into a fabulous blessing for me.
The roofing company employee was prompt. In fact, he was early. He hopped up on the roof...

Tim Wilson had a song about cloning people and said, “We don’t need another me.” I have three appointments tomorrow, so I might need a temporary clone.

As some of you may know, I am very reluctant to leave this house. My husband wants to retire to another province leaving this house behind. A house with 25 years of memories. To a place I'm not really fond of.
Well, I'm beginning...

Thursday I had my semi-annual eye doctor appointment. This was the long one (one hour and 15 minutes) in which I get all kinds of eye tests including a visual field test for my glaucoma. Everything went well.
After the...

There’s an old saying along the lines of, ”House problems” is a redundant statement, because if you’ve got a house, you’ve got problems.
My COVID money was deposited Monday. Apparently the house smelled the deposit,...

We finally went on October 21 and celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Red Lobster (our anniversary date was October 3). We had a sumptuous meal and a really good time.

There it is!
Yes, there’s my new water heater.
Installation, code improvement, new pipes, etc: just under $1800.
They say there’s only two certainties in life: death and taxes. Home repairs are also a certainty. But I...

Usually I don't let my lack of mobility and loneliness get me down; but today is an exception. My hubs is out running a few errands; and I am alone. He slept most of the day away. I'm hoping he will join me for some TV watching...

First of all, let me apologize if I sound like I'm whining and complaining...I'm simply trying to keep you up to date with what's happening (and maybe venting a little). It just happens that things have not been going well.

I have been absent for a couple of days, I decided to go on a little road trip.
A few months ago, my husband and I bought a house. It was listed on Redfin, and the price was quite reasonable, so we went to look at it. The first...

Now that the final house payment has been made I can put those megabucks (that's a joke, my mortgage was less than $350 a month) toward other things in the house. One of the things I've been putting off is a new furnace and/or...

As the Mark Chesnutt song says, "It sure is Monday." Yesterday was so Monday that it ought to go into the Monday Hall of Fame. In fact, yesterday's Monday was so Monday that I have to break it up into two...

There's an old saying: "saying 'house trouble' is redundant. If you have a house, you have trouble." The same thing goes for a car. I suppose that's why many people choose to rent instead of own: the toilet breaks in an...
