Digging for Happiness

Posted on September 9, 2022 by kathy & deb

Well, it’s been a week, all right. It started with an inner ear infection over the holiday weekend, and ended with me begging plumbers to take my money, and plumbers saying “No!”. In between, it was HOT and my monarch … Continue reading →

Posted on July 31, 2020 by kathy & deb

It’s kind of odd that we happened upon some thrift store finds from far away in a time when most of us can’t really travel.  Of course, there are the usual homegrown things, too, just for contrast. Life is sailing … Continue reading →

Go East, Middle-Aged Women

Posted on January 17, 2020 by kathy & deb

I’m writing two posts in a row because Kathy did more than her fair share while I was off traveling.  I’m home again with no excuses for not being productive besides driving 3000 miles!  I have I-80 memorized between Wyoming … Continue reading →

Don’t Bother, They’re Here

Posted on May 1, 2015 by kathy & deb

I have been fighting a ridiculous cold/cough for the last month.  Airlines should give you hazard pay for flying around surrounded by all those germs.  I am only putting this out there, so if there are parts of this post … Continue reading →

Well, the majority of those gifting holidays have passed yet again, and we have noticed that some particularly heinous stuff has hit the thrift stores.  We figure the recipients took one look at it all, and decided it was too … Continue reading →

Decorator Don’ts!

Posted on February 6, 2015 by kathy & deb

Usually by now the winter “blehs” have set in full force, but it is hard to be depressed when many of our days have been in the high 50s and low 60s.  Sort of feels like spring!  We had a … Continue reading →
