Palai Eboulethen: March 2014
http://palaieboulethen.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Long Ago I made a Wish. Thursday, March 20, 2014. My husband came home at lunchtime yesterday. It seems that the company laid off roughly 25 people, all across the departments, etc. OK. I just wish I knew where to. I guess that remains to be seen. I am not really "worried" so much as uncertain and curious about where we will be going. And even excited. (I hope I like it.). More random photo fun. Car window (from inside the car) a few months ago. Frost! Don't feel like it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Palai Eboulethen: April 2013
http://palaieboulethen.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Long Ago I made a Wish. Tuesday, April 9, 2013. I have no news other than to say I have mellowed a bit since this morning. Things are what they are. I am still not happy, but I am no longer frothing at the mouth. We have the money to pay the tax bill AND go on a smaller vacation. I am going to look into having mom watch the girls in a few weeks and get away with DH. For a whole family thing we'll wait a few months; after Labor Day maybe. Then again, maybe not. Well, after a post about how excited I am to...

Palai Eboulethen: June 2013
http://palaieboulethen.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Long Ago I made a Wish. Sunday, June 30, 2013. My tea cups car large, 2 cup capacity. The sample of Earl Grey I bought only has one cup's worth left, so today we move on to a new sample. Peach Oolong. This isn't my first lighter tea, but I am glad the samples have directions on how long to steep. With Lipton I often just relied on color. I am not adding sugar, lesson learned from the Earl Grey. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Tea: Earl Grey, Hot. I dallied around online, ebay mostly, to find an interesting cup...

Palai Eboulethen: Resolution 1 down
http://palaieboulethen.blogspot.com/2015/01/resolution-1-down.html
Long Ago I made a Wish. Tuesday, January 6, 2015. So much for posting to my blog every day. If one of the resolutions is going to be scrapped, this one is better than the exercise and healthy eating. AND (this is big for me) missing one day doesn't mean I have to quit. I might back off some if all I have to post is talking about the weather. Don't get me wrong, the occasional "It was lovely today." or "Brrr, I hate the cold! Daily walking report - Still going on day 6. Tried that, got bored). For your vi...

Palai Eboulethen: 2015 (part B) Resolutions
http://palaieboulethen.blogspot.com/2015/07/2015-part-b-resolutions.html
Long Ago I made a Wish. Thursday, July 9, 2015. 2015 (part B) Resolutions. The healthy eating and exercise vary. Starting over for the second half of this year. Well, things didn't get so bad as to say I am "starting over," but close. There were a couple of months of illness and family emergencies, etc, that got in the way. But right now the future looks clear, and I want to live it moving, not sitting in one place. I figured I'd do a mile and then go. I got to .8 miles when a bike became availab...Subsc...

Palai Eboulethen: Darn!
http://palaieboulethen.blogspot.com/2015/01/darn.html
Long Ago I made a Wish. Friday, January 2, 2015. Well, not really, but that is the only sock related pun I could think of in short notice. I am not darning socks, I am knitting them. This isn't my first try to knit socks, just the first one that has not yet been abandoned in frustration. We'll see how this goes. In honor of my 42 things I want to do while I am 42, I have picked back up the double-pointed needles and will give this crazy idea another try. What have I learned so far? WIL WHEATON dot NET.

Palai Eboulethen: Colder today
http://palaieboulethen.blogspot.com/2015/01/colder-today.html
Long Ago I made a Wish. Sunday, January 4, 2015. I did not want to walk in the park today. I went around the block behind our house instead. It wasn't as far as I had thought and I am slightly disappointed. I am not sure in what though. Myself for not walking farther? The block for not being bigger? The weather for being cold? Yeah, I have the feeling that is it. Maybe I should make all of my New Years Resolutions for the Springtime. Looks warm, eh? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). WIL WHEATON dot NET.

Edifice Rex: August 2015
http://edificerex.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Narratives of a house and life in progress. Wednesday, August 26, 2015. An absolute favorite song of mine. Lot of truth in it. Don't neglect what you have in your hand. I've been told that it's just the way life goes. Once the wildest river is now a trickle to the sea. The peak we risk our lives to scale becomes dirt beneath our feet. The wisdom of a life time always disappears untapped. Paradise once given will always be taken back. And the love you hang your life upon will start to slowly crack. I've b...

Edifice Rex: See Alabama
http://edificerex.blogspot.com/p/alabama.html
Narratives of a house and life in progress. While we were on the coast a few weeks ago, we took time to visit Bellingrath Gardens in Mobile. I can't really remember if I had ever been before but it was very nice and I enjoyed touring the gardens. They have a pretty wide selection of garden types; sunny meadows, shade, water and Japanese amongst others. Since it was originally a fish camp it actually is situated on the shores of a river and several of the trails lead down to the water. Lots of mossy trees...

Edifice Rex: Rusted
http://edificerex.blogspot.com/2011/07/rusted.html
Narratives of a house and life in progress. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. A reader asked me to show a few pics of the rebar. Handrail I did for the deck and how it had aged. I had initially sprayed the whole deck and rebar. With a light coat of thinned linseed oil. This lasted for a while but some rust is showing on it now. I need to clean everything this fall, go over the rebar. With a wire brush and then respray it all. However, it looks fine; just a bit darker than when new. Oh I fixed up my Barking Mad....
