Summer 11-Talking…dogs

I went to lunch with a dear friend today. We hadn’t seen each other in a while, so it was a great time to catch up! We had a lot of laughs, some serious discussions, but we talked a lot about communication. There is so much value in words, are we speaking, relaying, conveying those well enough, and are we receptive to others’ words…maybe…

Summer 10-Creativity, Home work, and Lunacy

Do you remember when I had a hankering to paint…and I ended up painting the basement and patch painting…and a whole bunch of other home improvements? Well, I dreamt that I was writing calligraphy, and I have been tossing that around for a while too. Part of me wonders if it is also synonymous for something else, a need for that type of creative…

Summer 9-Broom Vroom

I spent most of my day cleaning my basement ceiling, and the rest of the ceilings in my house. I started by using my ride, er, I mean my broom to get all of the cobwebs off the ceiling and in the crevices on the main two floors of our house. I then used the sweeper to do the basement. I did not get…

Summer 7&8-Paints and Purple Delphinium

I was so productive yesterday during the day, that I didn’t have time to write a post, and in the evening time we went to the Chillicothe Paints game, I failed to write while there too. With the heat and humidity, I will have plenty of time to devote to writing today though, so no worries! You cannot go wrong with a Paints game,…

Summer 6-Random, yet productive

Holy cow what a busy day! Some days are so dang productive that you don’t take pics, you are wonderfully worn out, and it is only 8:37 and you could easily go to bed! Bill and I did so much today, but the best thing is that we started our day running some fun errands and enjoying our time together! We had plenty of…

Summer 5-Mulch, Maverick & Wag’s

Today was a great day, everything was clicking, running right along, and despite it being a 2 times to Lowe’s sort of day, that was not a negative, but fruitful and positive producing. Truly, everything just fell in to place today! We have always put wood mulch in our flower beds, but for a couple of years, I have been wanting to put rock…

Summer 4-Stranger Things

Ugh. I would love to pretend that I am not one of those people that watches Stranger Things, but it would be an outright lie, and damn if I haven’t been binging that show. I have made my way in to Season 4, and there have been a multitude of leaks implying uncertain main character deaths. Brooke and I have discussed who we feel…

Summer 3-Solstice, Weeds, and Warmth

I got outside early today, weeded my flower beds, weeded my patio and pool deck area. Let me tell you, Virginia Creeper is a complete creep…it spreads easily and clings on to surfaces for dear life. Goodbye Ginny, you are no longer welcome here! I seriously rolled it up today, like a carpet and there was only about a 4 foot section of it….

Summer 2-Tattoos with Heidi

A few years back, I met someone that had some sick tattoos, I was so blown away, I asked about where they got them. I had one tattoo at the time, and had been wanting another, but wasn’t sure what I wanted, so I sat with the information about the artist, just waiting. In the meantime, Avery had wanted a tattoo, and I referred…

Summer 1-Happy Father’s Day!

Today, many are being celebrated for their role as being a Father, biologically, adopted, or chosen. We did a little something different, but it will provide many good times ahead. We started our day cooking breakfast together, something we love to do. Avery went to church and Brooke slept in from a late night of work, but Bill and I, we made breakfast, and…
