Our new next door neighbors hosted a 10th anniversary party this afternoon.  The guy knows the previous owner, because he used to be the caretaker at the B&B the previous owner has a couple of miles down the road.  A couple of weeks ago, they invited us to the party, but I’d never met them, […]

My MIL’s memorial service was in MN a few days ago.  For us, it was a two days’ drive out, a day there, and two more days on the road to get home.  It was a lovely service, and it was great to get together again with family members and tell stories. Each way, we […]

Knock Me Over

Our power went out earlier today, shortly before noon.  It’s cold, but sunny, and not at all windy, so I don’t know what caused it, but after waiting maybe 15 minutes to see if it would come back on, I decided to phone it in to the electric company.  Navigated through voice jail and got […]

I’m rather impressed with the new dentist at the old practice I used to use.  Nothing he told me today about my molar abscess was unexpected.  That tooth got broken over 30 years ago, so I ended up with a root canal and a crown. Was fine for two years, then it developed an abscess […]

One thing I’ve noticed over the past few years is that private practices have almost disappeared.  I’m not talking about old-time country doctors who used to make house calls.  This is happening with dentists, eye doctors, and MDs, whatever their specialty. It was not that unusual for a doctor to join a local medical group, […]

Not really ha-ha funny, but she does have a sense of humor.  We visited again today, bringing over several items she asked me to order online for her.  I already had one thing in reserve for her, for a stocking stuffer, so I told her “No, don’t pay me back for that, because I was […]

Commissioned an Artwork

Someone posted a picture of her husband’s chainsaw log carving of a bear on Nextdoor.  Wow.  The guy has talent.  He wasn’t willing to sell me that one, but he was willing to carve another smaller one for me on commission. The guy came by this afternoon to look over our selection of logs to […]

Car Inspection Sucks

We can renew our registration for two years, but still have to get vehicle inspection done every year.  My car dealer doesn’t charge any more than a local garage would, so I have them do it, especially since they offer a free valet service and loaner vehicle. I always write out a checklist of things […]

This Totally Sucks

My mother-in-law is in hospice.  My husband left at 2:30am on Tuesday, and drove 1200 miles straight through to get there.  It’s a 20 hour drive.  Last time he did that, it was on the way home, and I told him “we’re not doing that again.”  I understand the urgency to get there, though. Both […]

Score!

A couple of weeks ago, we won a $50 gift certificate to a fishmonger place not too far from us, from a radio station.  The show’s producer was away for a while preparing for his wedding, and honeymoon, but we finally got a call back from the station to get the name and address to […]
