Some of you asked about the Breville convection toaster oven I had previously. I really loved it and they’re highly rated. The only problem was that it was smaller than the Kitchen Aid and thus after awhile food oils got…
Red & White Bread Box
I haven’t had a bread box in ages. I recall I had one when my girls were little. I baked a lot of whole wheat bread loaves back then. They’d come home from school and eat a slice of my…
The Fly Catcher, Kendra’s Flip House, & What I’m Reading
It’s pretty hard to sleep in the morning when you have a cat jumping back and forth either side of your head. Ivy apparently had cornered a fly and possibly wounded it. It was above my headboard and she couldn’t…
Kendra’s New Flip House & Grocery Shopping
I’m just about finished with my indoor project. I’m waiting on one more thing to arrive and then I’ll take photos to show you what the project is. Hopefully this will be tomorrow unless what I’m waiting for arrives too…
Kendra’s New Flip House
My daughter Kendra just closed this week on her newest flip house. It is in the same general area as the other one. She bought it from the nicest older man who seems to have grown quite fond of her…
My Heredity Report & State Of The Garden

How To Clean Your Washing Machine Naturally & Other Tidbits
I just got off the phone with Kendra. She said they’ve been enjoying lots of fresh carrots and tomatoes. She planted her veggies earlier than I did so her plants were way ahead of mine. This is her first garden…
A Sad Story & A Funny Story
Small white/beige caterpillars have been eating all the leaves off my big pot of peppermint outside by the French doors. This morning I went out and cut the peppermint way back and hope they won’t come back. I couldn’t stand…
Fixing The Cord On The Fountain
Kendra came by yesterday afternoon after meeting with the guy she hires to help her with structural details on her flip houses, and fixed the cord to my fountain. She brought her drill and figured out a way to disguise…
Family Matters
Well I was just sitting here drinking my coffee and checking emails. And I saw that I had an email from my oldest daughter, Kendra, 13 hours before. It said that Kasi, my younger daughter, had a bad accident working…
My Patio Garden Is Fully Planted
It has been raining softly this morning. That peaceful kind of rain shower that soothes and relaxes. A bit ago I cleaned out Ivy’s litter box and put new litter in, then walked the lawn bag full of old litter…
