Hey All... We've had an exciting last couple of weeks here. About 10 days ago we brought home our NEW TRAILER! It's official. We are now 'Trailer Trash'!!! LOL!!! This is how she looked during our walk through at the dealership... Jim drove us home, but first, a stop at Menards to buy some supplies!… Continue reading Bringing Home The Trailer and Locating A Parking Space

Sunrise and Sunflowers
Good Morning!!! Wake up! Rise and Shine! Since this being Saturday I'm able to spend a little more time in the morning wee hours put-zing around the yard and garden. The weather is starting to get Fall-ish but not quite. We are still about 75 degrees in the morning which is really nice! But the… Continue reading Sunrise and Sunflowers
Adding the Spline and Changing Directions on our Wood Floor Installation
Hey All! Me again here! We are still working away on our MAJOR home improvement project and today I wanted to share with you how we are changing the direction of our wood floor installation.

Scenes From the Dashboard – Jarod’s Subway, More Windmills, Deer
Hey Everyone! Happy back to school! Last weekend was pretty busy as my nephew asked me to help him move to college...along with the help of his Mom, and of course our truck. Moving off campus is a big deal for any young person. It's the first time you are really on your own! You have rent,… Continue reading Scenes From the Dashboard – Jarod’s Subway, More Windmills, Deer
So We Went to an RV Show And…
One thing led to another and before I knew it... I signed the longest, most ridiculous, piece of Illinois legalese paperwork I've ever seen! (and I even have a smile on my face!)... ...and I can't wait to use it! We'll take delivery in a few weeks since we are having some modifications done to the… Continue reading So We Went to an RV Show And…
Home Improvement — The Floor Begins!
Hi Everyone! We (mostly Jim) started laying down our new wood floor! Whoot! The floor we chose is rustic maple in a natural finish. I had a dickens of a time (does anyone say dickens anymore?) finding a pre-finished floor that would coordinate with the wood that already exists in the house. This maple, with… Continue reading Home Improvement — The Floor Begins!
Jamba, Here!
Jamba LOVES the water. Ever since we took him to Michigan and played in the lake he has been itching to get back there for more water fun! So during a recent camping trip we decided to take him to see the Ultimate in lakes...Lake Michigan! (yes, I know...he's seen it from the Chicago side… Continue reading Jamba, Here!
Lake Time and Blueberries!
Over the 4th we spent a few days with friends. Gave our dogs the time of their lives. ...and brought home a year supply of blueberries! Then came home to one lazy cat... ...all in all it was a splendid dippity good time! ~Cathy
It’s Foraging Season! Mulberries, Raspberries and Catnip!
Every year is different. Depending on what the landscape attendants decide to mow down and what mother nature decides to put in and let grow I just never know what to find in the thickets near my house. Sure. Mosquitos are ALWAYS there but over the last several years I've been able to find a patch… Continue reading It’s Foraging Season! Mulberries, Raspberries and Catnip!
More Street Scenes From Our Downtown Trip
Mostly my camera was losing power throughout the day (my own fault for not charging the battery!) so I had to be a little selective in what 'snapshots' I decided to take. So many subjects...so little juice!!! First of all, I MUST show you our parking space for the day. Seriously, since when did parking spaces… Continue reading More Street Scenes From Our Downtown Trip
