I was walking into school today and a woman I have never seen before said, “There are bagels in the office.” I love bagels. (Maybe this is just going to be a series on things I love now…mmm….wonder what tomorrow will bring.) I didn’t bother to tell her that I am just a sub and […]

I remember 21 years ago when my friend, Betsy, told me to watch Survivor during its first season. The first episode I watched, they ate bugs, and I was out. I think I turned it off mid-bugging. The next day, she asked how I liked and I said, “NOT!” She promised they wouldn’t eat bugs

Alexander calls his yard a bunny sanctuary, because he doesn’t care what they eat, how much they eat, or when they eat. He welcomes them to come and munch away – away from his neighbors who might have plants they care about. It seems like a nice thing to have in a neighborhood. We were

I’ve always heard people angry with bunnies for eating their gardens. Now I am one of those people. It’s okay if they want to have a little, but c’mon bunnies! Eating our lilies and hosta down to the ground? That is not fair. Stop it. We sprayed some bad smelling stuff tonight. It says go

Not to be redundant, but this was an exciting day. Remember the pool with a house from yesterday? There was another open house today. This time, I took Keith along. My friend’s interest had grown, and she wanted Keith’s opinion on how and how expensive some fixes in the house might be done. We toured

It was 45 degrees when I got up this fine May Saturday. There is a lot of yard maintenance to do, so today seemed like the perfect day (not hot! not rainy!) to get to it. Keith was going out to get started, but I was hungry. I was cooking myself breakfast while he toiled

I really expected him to come back, but it was very exciting anyway. Keith went to Austin, Texas, for work at the crack of dawn on Tuesday. I took this picture as he got Lyfted away. He was going for planning meetings and to actually meet the people he will be working with. There was

I went to the movies all by myself. The second Downton Abbey movie started today. Keith didn’t watch the show, so I knew I would be on my own to see it. I figured no time like the present. Then I thought about things I should do around the house. The thing is, I don’t

And I noticed it today. I went back to the school where I subbed exclusively for many years today. I was working in 7th grade math – a happy place for me. I really like this teacher. It turned out I wasn’t equipped for her students. I had a co-teacher first hour, so although it

I do. I love a game. I love a game you can only play once/day. I love a word game. I love Wordle. I think everyone should send Josh Wardle $5. I know, the New York Times already paid him, but seriously. Everybody plays. He deserves $5. From everybody. Wouldn’t that just be super fun?
