So, what should I say? We are months away from the last post.

August: School started. Some other things probably happened, but I there’s no telling what.

September: I don’t even know. Life is a blur of chaotic sameness.

October: I bought a food sucker! That’s the highlight of my life. If I ever get some photos up, I’ll show you. Until then, click this link to Souper Cubes to see part of my delight. We’re going to visit my Dad for Thanksgiving and even though he’s doing fine, I’ve been freezing some things to take out to Colorado. I found a Souper Cube mold at a thrift store, and currently there is no better hobby than freezing food into a perfect brick (I just have the 2-cup size) and then encasing it completely in plastic. (Sorry, Earth.)

November: Here we are.

• The roof is currently getting replaced, but the rest of the house is still on hold.
• Lloyd had his annual tech sale and I ‘helped’. (Sam really helped.)
• Keren was in Nebraska for work and stopped by for a night, which was lovely.
• I am making a batch of stew to put in my Souper Cubes!

Are you happy now, Sam?

(Reading the past entry: we did get a new a/c system, and the rash cleared up with the medication. If it happens again, I’m supposed to call for an oral steroid first, then go in.) This entry is mostly about the storm. Other things have happened that I will surely forget (and already have), but […]

If it weren’t for this site, many things would be lost to our poor memories. Not posting very often has put me in a bit of a mental bind lately, so I’m jotting this down for Future Me. 2. I can’t remember if I wrote about my Horrible Rash last spring? It started with a […]

Whenever we attend a get-together, Beth always brings a veggie tray. She has the divided Tupperware tray that has seven spots for different things. It’s always nice to have vegetables around, and this is a good way to do it. She says she keeps in in her fridge all the time for handy munching. When […]

Anyone who reads this thing knows that we are not big spenders. I can be incredibly cheap and later have regrets, but we’re also frugal. For instance, I spend the big money on Smartwool socks, but they last For-Ev-Er. The cost per wear is pennies. Maybe ha’pennies. The current problem, though, is that Lloyd has […]

My Dad is a very thoughtful person. He knows that Lloyd’s favorite kind of pie is blackberry, and he listened to me complain about how incredibly expensive blackberries are (fresh and/or frozen)…. …… so he sent us some blackberry bushes. Four, to be precise. He told me about a week ago about his surprise, so […]
