I Wanna Be a Hosta!

It’s hotter than Hades here in Illinois.

I took approximately 3 showers yesterday just from doing regular life stuff.ContinueContinue reading “I Wanna Be a Hosta!”

We have a saying in our household: “our favorite ‘tools’ are a phone and a phonebook.” When something needs a fixn’, we have to call it in. This makes us pretty needy neighbors. We borrow a lot. But, hey, if you need a screw driver or hammer, we’re “here for you.” A couple of yearsContinueContinue reading “Detachment…my favorite tool”
