Where Am I ?

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 7 May

Hi, I just wanted to update everyone that my internet circumstances are still pretty nonexistent. I am here, but not here. Our hotspot is pretty iffy and doesn’t work much of the time. AT&T is not doing right by us....

Still No Internet

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 30 Apr

Just wanted to update everyone. We still don’t have internet. I can’t be here much. Trying to stretch our hotspot out. I hope that you are all well. I will come here sparingly.

Big AT&T Problems

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 24 Apr

Sometime late Friday night our DSL and cell phones started messing up. The DSL is unusable. It doesn’t stay on long enough to do anything. We can’t always make calls or receive them. Texts come through delayed. Sometimes not even...

Almost Done

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 15 Apr

This is the wall that we worked on this time around. It should be finished up our next trip to West Virginia. We had problems at the beginning of this trip and didn’t have the whole time to work on it. I’ll tell you about the...

Worst Room

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 9 Mar

Here is another photo of the West Virginia home. It was undoubtedly the worst room in the house. It was and will be our den. We have started working on it and it is really coming along. I don’t have an updated picture of it yet....

Back of Home

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 6 Mar

It’s been forever since I’ve done more than one post in a day. I thought I’d go on and show the back of the home. It is built into the ground , so from the front the upper floor is street level. We haven’t done much in the back,...

Front of Home

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 6 Mar

Here are more photos of the West Virginia home. This is the front and even though it looks like a one story ….it is two. I’ll show the back of the house in another post. It has come a long ways since 2003. The porch just needs a...

The Transformation

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 6 Mar

Our excitement is really building. In less than a month we are headed back up to our West Virginia home. When we bought the home in 2003 it was in unbelievable condition. The family we bought it from were hoarders and didn’t have...

It’s that time again. We are getting ready to head up to our West Virginia home the end of March. We are always excited to go. I have been gathering another load of things to take to the house. We somehow always manage to load our...

Morning View

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 27 Feb

We have a cow pasture across from our home. I love that my kitchen faces the pasture. When I am washing dishes I have such a nice view of the cows. I went outside to try and photo them, but they were too far across the pasture to...

Wax Bottle Treat

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 26 Feb

I saw these wax treats on Facebook the other day. I haven’t seen them in decades. They said that they were vintage nostalgic treats from the 90’s. I beg to differ. I enjoyed them as a child in the 60’s and 70’s. I guess they had a...

I Miss Them

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 25 Feb

How many of you remember drive in theaters ? We went all of the time when I was a child and in my teens. Little by little they started shutting down. I have heard that a few still exist. I think that I was in my early 20’s the...

Chayote Squash

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 22 Feb

Yesterday while I was in the produce section I saw these squash. I had never seen these before and was clueless as to what they were. They look like they have a mouth and this through me off a bit. My son loves to try...

Good Results

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 21 Feb

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted sooner. My sister doesn’t have a blood clot. We were greatly relieved. They in all honesty don’t know for sure what’s wrong with her leg, but they will treat the symptoms. She was given some meds....

Waiting for Results

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 20 Feb

One of my sister’s called me last night. She has had leg pain and it has worsened. The leg is slightly larger than the other and feels warm to the touch. She is getting an ultrasound this morning. If it is a clot they will put her...

Another Dessert

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 16 Feb

First I want to let y’all know that the Red Velvet Pots de Crème was delightful. It was very much like mousse. The only thing that I’d change about it is the amount of the serving. I could have ate much more of it. My tastebuds...

It’s Hard To Get Enough

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52305) • United States 11 Feb

Since I’ve been lifting weights my son has me upping my protein intake. The only way that I’ve been able to achieve my daily goal is to eat a ton of chicken breast. I sometimes feel like I’m going to start clucking and sprout...
