We just bought ourselves a new bed and mattress set. We worked all day yesterday moving furniture in and out and around our bedroom … I mean ALL DAY! It’s a big job for two old folks like us. The mattress is a 10 inch memory foam and we are hoping it is a little [...]
Perhaps you remember the horrible death of our Bichon, Ozzy, last summer. We were surprised recently with a check in the mail from Washington County. Apparently Washington County decided to press charges on their own … where she pleaded innocent and got an attorney and demanded a trial. I don’t know all of her [...]
I have discovered something I think I could become addicted to … being introduced as a “writer”. Wow, what a high! It has made me more determined than ever to continue … and to get that book of mine ready for publishing. I saw a 4-D photo of our expected little grand daughter. It absolutely [...]

Alice’s blog on Out house Trivia reminded me of Dad’s ingenious out house on our property at Bear Lake back in the 1960′s. The property was without improvements of any kind … mostly sand and some brush. To stay there for a week at a time meant we needed some place private to … you [...]
