I hope y’all (technical Texas term) had a great Thanksgiving.
We did. We spent Wednesday stuffing family full of food!
Friday…well…we spent Friday lazy-ing about the house, basically recovering from Thursday. Well, that and eating leftover turkey and ham sandwiches and pumpkin pie.
Mmmmmm…
BUT…we did head up to the Old Vic for the weekend to get something [...]
We always have things to be thankful for…and Thanksgiving reminds us of that.
It’s also a great excuse to get together with family and cook enough food to feed everybody twice!
It’s not a bad time to sit back a moment and think of something that you, in particular, are thankful for.
My life has been hard [...]
Yet more electrical work. Not much to show…as in “interesting pictures”. Basically I’ve been crawling through attics trailing yellow wire all behind me like some sort of giant mutant spider.

There’s more than a [...]
Y’all might recall this post a few days ago about an attic hatch and some lights in the sunroom.

Thanks to all that have honorably served.
You did it right.

There’s a tower ya see. (shrugs) What was I supposed to do?
So, ya’ll (technical Texas term) may know I own [...]
The attic over the sunroom and utility room had a very small opening, rudely hacked into the beadboard ceiling. It was so narrow I couldn’t even get my shoulders through it without contortions…much less the rest of my rather rotund self… The hole wasn’t square either and simply had a wood piece that was pulled [...]

This was our first Halloween in the Old Vic…we had no idea what to expect, but figured it was a worthy house to have a fun Halloween in and we’d decorate a bit.
In our surburban “blah” house in Garland, Halloween had faded away. The number of kids sliding each year and the effort they put [...]
