No Place Like Home

 Remember when I first posted pictures of my grand-nephews? Seems like yesterday, doesn't it? I thought I was enchanted then, but they are walking and talking now!


Always a little shy when time has gone by when they see me, but they warm up quickly.

Josiah is sleepy here. He is the calm one, the thinker. Just like his Daddy. But he looks like his Mama. He is tender and cuddly, so sweet.

Here's his brother, Jonah. Never thinks ahead, just runs! Too busy to be held and looks just like his Daddy when he was a baby. Takes me back in time to see his face!

The best pictures did not load, of course. We had a wonderful day with the babies and the rest of the family. My nephew picked up six blueberry bushes for me and I forgot them, so we had a brief visit on the way home. HeWho drives was chomping at the bits to get going and get home. He totally cut off my baby love fest! I told Josiah that I was going and he shook his sweet head and said "No". Jonah was busy escaping and running away from his big sister. 

The trip was quite pleasant. We drove to my sister-in-law's house the first day. Just a short trip of 4 hours. The next day we continued south to spend the night at my nephew's. The next day was only about three hours to my daughter's house.

Of course we encountered some issues during our time away and I will be sharing those with you. But for now I will say that I am so happy to be home! There really is no place like home! We stayed in a park last night and I gave the RV a much needed cleaning. Slept so much better than I would in the clutter! Showered this morning and when we arrived home I gave my turtle a nice bath and cleaned out both her habitats, watered my gardens and mowed my grass. I am looking forward to sleeping in my bed!

    Oh my gosh! How time flies. That's a couple of cuties! So glad you got to see them. Can't wait to hear your tales of the trip.

      They are cute, for sure! I got lots of wet kisses!! Kept calling myself Gramma to them. Old habits die hard!

    They are little cuties. My twins haven't learned to say 'No' yet as far as I can tell, I've never heard it from them anyway though they say lots of other things.
    It ois always great to get home, no matter how much a visit is enjoyed, home is where the sleep is best.

      I slept so well last night! Those babies have me bewitched! Jonah started saying please "pees", but couldn't stay still enough to say it for me. They plan to vacation up here in the fall, but that is so far away!!

      So sorry the blueberry bushes didn't make it home with you. Your little ones do look so sweet (and full of energy)! Yes indeed to getting back into your own bed!

      Oh, the blueberry bushes made it! We went back the same way so that we could stop and get them. We had planned to go a different route, just because we could, but I was not disappointed to get more baby time!

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co

Retired!

  Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out .... This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget.  Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed. This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed. This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I k

Moving To A new House Would Be Easier

  The big day has arrived! I herded the canines into my bedroom to await the new stove. Now, keep in mind that they could have simply sent a repair out to change out the one burner that did not work. Hold that thought ...... Instead of simply repairing an other wise fine stove, they insisted that they should REPLACE it. And, the replacement is TODAY. I am in my bedroom with my furry babies as I listen to a very frustrated HeWho trying to remove the door in order to get it through the only opening that will take it outside. Delivery men refuse to assist and even suggest coming back at a later date! My new stove is sitting just outside their truck on the ground, still in the box causing me to thing to myself "What the not heaven (thanks Val)". Do we now have to go and muscle that thing up the steps and onto the porch ourselves?? I went out to assist. Not much assistance, as I kept jumping back to protect the gouty toe. I returned to my confinement, realizing that I was annoying
