Remember when I told you that I thought we would have a clear title and maybe a boat this week?
Well, the title was cleared through the FDIC, but when they sent the documents (which was supposed to be by overnight but the clown sent it by snail mail….so tack on 5 more days to the [...]

Could there be a more enjoyable thing than laughing with your family?
We attempted to go out to eat at a restaurant last night. I have been jonesing for this one place, and Bill finally agreed. We requested to sit outside on the deck, and the hostess said something like “Sure, go ahead”. [...]

Here I sit, with my ice cold Tecate, and the whirrrrr of the vacuumm cleaner is filling the house.
No, Bill isn’t home. The kids are cleaning the house today, and I am recovering from the nightmare of trying to get all the paperwork to the finance company for the boat closing next [...]

Mum mum wants Ruta Maya, not gum, gum.

I totally want one! For myself!
Speaking of beer. I have bought a couple of 12 packs, and have loaded them into the trailer. Limes are in the fridge, and today I have to do some grocery to stock the cabinets, fridge and such. There is so much to do, and I [...]
