Monday, July 23, 2012. Another summer, another road construction mess. Here we go again! It's too bad that we don't have any preschoolers any more to watch this from our front yard.

Thursday, December 29, 2011. I'm baaack and I have something to talk about. It has been 2 months and one day since my last post. I apologize.

Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Here's my story (abridged version). I have lived in a small town in the Northern Rocky Mountains for more than 30 years. I love to write and I have a very vivid imagination! The kids grew up and are on their own, so our nest is emptier, but full in lots of ways.

Monday, October 1, 2012. 3 more boxes and a bag. Oh boy. I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since my last post. I'm so ashamed. The cupboard also contains 3 rolling pins. Three rolling pins?

Friday, October 28, 2011. Remember a few months ago when the hubby was pruning the fruit trees? He cut off a lot of branches full of apple blossoms (just one apple tree). It seemed that there were about a million of them this year, so. So that's what I did this week instead of cleaning out closets and drawers, ah well, th...
