The past few weeks have been crazy-busy, but what else is new? Since it was hot, I had to be out more often, making sure the chickens had water and stay cool. And I’ve been organizing the kitchen more. It’s nice to not have to look for something to make myself a basic breakfast. But…

How not to get onto some Watchlist
The problem with writing is the research. There’s been a few stories of writers who get the dreaded knock at the door. While the Trash Taste crew are talking to a chemist, he happens to have a similar problem when researching chemicals. Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay
Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt (pictures!)
Yesterday was Sarah’s birthday and we took her to Menchie’s in Tyler, Texas.
Not sure if I like the update
I finally updated the look of the blog. Not sure if I care for it. I still have to do some tweaks and we’ll see. I’ll have to pay if I want to change more colors than just the background and I don’t know how to feel about that. The link colors kind of match…
A Difficult Trip to Make
We left on the thirty-first and headed towards my in-laws in Effingham, through rain that seemed to come from all directions, only to clear as quickly as it slammed us. We got to Illinois in one piece and earlier than expected. Spent the next day there, visiting Golden Corral and doing some shopping before making…
“Vacation” – sort of
I usually don’t post about a trip until I get back, but this time I have a house sitter for our trip. Actually, I have two. Nathan was told to “Stand by” by the marines, so he can’t leave the state. It’s possible that he’ll be deployed to South Korea for a “training exercise.” So…
How weird are your dreams?
I dream a lot. So much so that I forget most of it – at least until one stands out more than the rest. I remember three segments a few nights ago. The first was trying to pick up stuff from a car that was stuck on the side of the road. I think one…
New Update: Car found!
So my mother-in-law messaged me a few days ago, letting us know they’re retiring and probably not going to need their Jeep anymore. If we want it, we can go pick it up. This is great news! I mean, we’ll have to wait until August when we go to Vermont for the memorial. That said,…
Gardening this year
I didn’t expand my garden like I wanted this year, but at least I have a garden going. The chickens kept eating the seeds and sprouts until I finally put a temporary garden fence around it. The tomatoes are doing fairly well, but the peas dislike the heat. It isn’t too late to plant Amaranth,…
