Hello again. Welcome back. I just can't believe how fast Fridays are rolling around lately. The time from Friday to Friday seems like a blink, even though the time we've spent here in Ocean City hotels (nine weeks?) seems interminable.... Read more →

Hey, friends. I hope you are doing well. We're in something like our 9th week of hotel-living, and I can tell you, we are so over it!!! But, the sale of our Idaho house is going well, and we should... Read more →

Hello, y'all. Another weekend has snuck right on up on me. I missed last weekend entirely, seems like. If I didn't tell you here, we put our Idaho house on the market, and within hours we had an offer for... Read more →

Hey there, guys and dolls. I'm still shacking up with my lady children (wait, that sounds wrong) in a fine hotel in Ocean City, Maryland, while our guys are still back in Idaho finishing up the packing and the minor... Read more →

Welcome back, my lovelies! This weekend finds us at a different hotel than where we were during my write-up of last week's Saturday 9; not only that, but we are in our third or fourth room in the current establishment!... Read more →

Welcome back, kids of all ages! This week I'm coming at you from Salisbury, Maryland, in complete confusion about where I am and where I actually belong. This isn't a bad thing. It's that necessary reset that happens whenever we... Read more →

Hiya! Once again, I'm dodging my responsibilities and playing along with Sunday Stealing. Here's today's post, if you're inclined to join us. Bev Sykes of the blog "Funny the World" is our lovely host. Welcome to the joint! Here, we... Read more →

Oh, my goodness. Moving is just so complicated. Then you factor in that it's another (almost) coast-to-coast move. Then you add three teenagers. You add two dogs, four cats, and two rabbits. And tons of health issues. During a pandemic.... Read more →

Hi guys - I'm going to get right into it today as I'm tired and have a migraine pressing really hard on my frontal lobe. Link up here if you're playing along! ~*~*~*~*~ Saturday 9: Who Are You? (1977) Unfamiliar... Read more →

Welcome back, ladies and gents! What a week. What a week! Forget about what's going on in this crazy country. Some women (myself included) may have had an online countdown to their baby's due date. Or to their wedding date... Read more →
