For those who don’t know, the buyer on our house backed out on her contract earlier this week for some personal reasons. So we’re back into the “Invasion of the Home Shoppers” phase. Not really the situation we were hoping to be in right now but we’re hanging in there.

The only thing worse than a trailer full of poop is a trailer full of wet poop! This has become a new slogan of mine. One of the many tasks we’re working on now is attempting to get our lawn looking alive and well again. That means fertilizer and water. We checked the weather report […]

…and other random thoughts… I went to the ATM today and got a couple of the new orange $10 bills. I like the way they look just fine, but had to laugh when I came home and saw a very green $10 bill with a cartoon-ish drawing of Hamilton from the kid’s play money stash. […]
