Last night DIY Guy and I strolled the streets of downtown Rochester and enjoyed the ice sculpture displays outside many of the businesses. Our fine city proved that cold temperatures and snow need not keep us indoors suffering from isolation and cabin fever. The Rochester Downtown Alliance (RDA) invited the people of Rochester to “come … Read More
Tree decorating
I walk down this path every day. Using the term “path” lightly here, since it is really tire tracks that DIY Guy (and Nate) made for me to get from the garage to the chicken coop. With over 4 feet of snow so far this winter — getting to the coop is a little … Read More

Major pain
Friday was non-existent for me. A blur. I am a migraine patient. I’ve had migraines for about 30 years. Many have been Very bad. Many have made me a prisoner of my bed. Many have caused nauseousness. But Friday was the mother of all migraines. It hit about the same time my alarm went off … Read More

DIY Guy and I like to watch CSI — New York and Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Intro song is by The Who …. it’s quite catchy. Every time I hear that song I think of my blog. Seriously, I do. How warped is THAT? When I see all the different places all of you – … Read More

Baby Girl thought I might like to practice some shootin’ I’ll always take someone up on a shootin’ offer. My photography mentors have all said the same things… “Keep Shootin’” and “Practice, Practice, Practice” It’s … Read More
Colder by the Lake
DIY Guy and I grew up in the same town in Northwest Indiana. In the town of Hessville, the City of Hammond … in the “Region” — near the Indiana Harbor (or as we referred to it: “The Harbor”) — which is near Gary, Indiana (think Michael Jackson) — and…near to the Steel Mills. Both … Read More
