The Two Year Progress: Or Lack Thereof
Two years ago I bought this house. A house that a lot more work was put into than initially anticipated. In fact, I still haven’t shared every completed room in the house. Because not every room is completed. So now that I am at the two year mark, I decided it’s time to break downContinueContinue reading “The Two Year Progress: Or Lack Thereof”
Ode to the Men thru my Life
My normal readers may want to skip this post. Just saying. Nothing to do with DIY or photography. Just need to vent. And I wasn’t about to do this on Facebook because it’s too real. To Adrian Sanchez, Poncho Gonzales, Jason Weill, Jesse Solomon, Jimmy Mascari, Steven Sanchez, Jason Morales, Mike Plante, Felix Tafoya andContinueContinue reading “Ode to the Men thru my Life “
Hello Again
…its been awhile. I’m just lame. A manager (the only one that seems to notice how hard I work) said yesterday “maybe it’s time for new scenery”. I couldn’t have chosen better words.

Weekend Distractions No. 14
Oh, this view: I would love to have this sunroom, overlooking water. Swoon. And there is an outdoor deck above the sunroom. This room I could live in: I don’t care for all the decor, but I love the ceilings. The doors. The walls. I could seriously retire in this house. With that view fromContinueContinue reading “Weekend Distractions No. 14”
A Leafy Landscape
My dad has ridden in this event for 5 years now, I think. It raises money for a cancer house. Great cause.

And the landscape is beautiful, autumn at its finest aroundContinueContinue reading “A Leafy Landscape”
