    Good point. Feel like I have been getting used to warmer temps already. When at my daughters house to watch the grandbabies while she works I have to constantly up the temp. On the flip side, I am of the age where hotflashes hit sometimes, so the option to cool off when needed is a concern...

    How is everyone doing? We're still kicking here. Having a hard time finding seeds/plants. To be expected with what's going on. This was going to be our first year trying it for real when this stuff hit. Wish I had a few years to get it going good and have some seeds saved up, but it is...

    Been a few weeks, thought I'd just write, cause.. yeah... quarantine, lol. I think the day I wrote the previous was the day the stepson's college closed, along with the dorms. So the 20 y/o moved back in. Three adults in an 840 sqft house, fun times lol, but we're making it work. Hubby's...

    Dun, dun, dun... I spoke too soon. Got word last night hubby's place of employment is shut down. No surprise there. Not panicking. Bills are paid, a few ahead, probably a month more in the bank. We may or may not get the stimulus check (I'm not holding my breath). We could file...

    And here it is, update during Corona-times. :) How is everyone? Are you quarantined? Or self-quarantining? Got enough to sustain things where you are? I am happily self-quarantined. Being an introvert, this just gives me a good excuse to stay my happy butt at home. :D Plenty of food...

    Still no grandbaby, she is decided to wait a bit longer. Due date is Christmas day, so we'll see. It would be funny if she decided to make her appearance on Christmas eve, since that's when her big brother decided to enter the world 3 years prior. :D I gotta say after just looking at our...

    Here it is over 3 months later, still kickin'. :) Finally got moved out here last month. The air is different out here. The sounds are different out here. The sun and moon and stars are different out here. Right now we are a few notches up from camping, but it's working. Playing musical...

    Not a ton to report. Finally almost done with the digging of the 120ft trench for the electric line, a bit slower going in this heat (yes, hubby is keeping hydrated :D). Once that line is in we can get my nephew to come hook us up (he works for the electric co and has hooked up many). Then...

    Hijack away! All good :) I like hearing stories. :D Holy Moly the heat!!! Makes for a wee bit of slower going. Of COURSE unexpected things have popped up and some things cost more than we had planned. So, some things are not getting done before the move and we will just live in it not...

    Books, oh yeah, had to let go of quite a few when I went into living in my van. The one I missed the most was the Complete Tightwad Gazette. I know it was dated, but loved getting inspiration from her looking outside-the-box, her humor, and the mind-set. So I hit the food bank yesterday...

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    I've been cutting on my own hair since I was in junior high. Even got professional and became a licensed stylist and did hair for 9 years. Still did my own and can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've let someone else do it. :) This includes all the coloring and perming over...

    Took the skidsteer back this morning. Some rain Sunday evening caused some hiccups and the hubby didn't get everything completed he would have liked, but it is what it is. The equipment is returned, we can get down the road, and what is left can be done with a shovel and rake. Watching the...
