Weekend winds down . . .
It’s Sunday night around 8:00 pm: DIY guy and I are sitting side-by-side at the kitchen table — busy on our laptops. Me blogging. Him – “working for the man”. We just returned from a dinner that cost us $6.88 at Culver’s. I’m a cheap date, what can I say? Friday’s are my … Read More

Confidential?
Let the records show — I asked. This is NOT a confidential document or image. But it is a very poor attempt at getting it to the appropriate size to show you here. Quite some time ago DIY Guy asked me to make him a header for his work webpage. And typically, I procrastinated. … Read More
Balance
Balance is important when you write a blog. Especially if members of your family, and extended family read your blog. Regularly I wonder….”has everyone been given equal “blog time” lately?
