This morning I had a visit from a Jehovah’s Witness.
I had just returned home from grocery shopping and had put everything away. Brian was in the shower.

The best thing we did was swim. I also had fun visiting a new [...]

Plumbing Perils, Part 3
The two youngest boys and I were under the weather all last week (we had colds), so I’ve not been on-line in so, so long…..I feel out of the loop, big time! (And now, too, I’m WAY behind on all the things I want to tell you and show you!)
But guess what? As you [...]
