Life in the Loony Bin
They will bury me in it …
The trailer, that is! LOL After weeks of working on the roof (or hey, at least it FEELS like weeks), I reached a point of absolute exasperation. As you might remember, I tore off the roof in the inside up to the styrofoam, disinfected it and then hung new styrofoam with... »
Q and A
It’s been awhile since I emptied out my inbox, and I thought this would be a good way to get back into posting again after my week long vacation to Jellystone with Thomas and the kids! (Pictures to come). So, without further ado: You seem to write a lot about health issues that you... »
Thank goodness for a cloudy day today…
I don’t think I could have headed out another day to work on the trailer. I … need a break! For the last two days, I have put in hours of effort in the hot sun. I completely removed the rest of the rotten wood paneling: With Aidan’s help, of course. Aidan, who then... »
Trailer News: Part 2
Phew. It was beautiful (but hot by MN standards) 88 degrees this afternoon when I set out to continue working on the pop-up. I am fighting a terrible relapse of Trigeminal Neuralgia and after some fiddling with medications and taking a combination of both slow release and extended release carbamezapine I seem... »

Boobies
Who knew? Apparently, this is a very hot search word and several people find their way here to this blog based on my blog post here about the I Love Boobies bracelets the teen girls (and boys) were wearing to middle school last year! I guess if I want more readers I... »
You asked for it …
Amanda. Cue music from the exorcist … and go fill up your wine glass if it’s empty. Settle in, because your advice will be encouraged, if not demanded! Amanda spent 3 1/2 weeks at Oma’s house, but I assure you that although my laundry load literally was reduced by 50%, she was out of sight,... »
And then the ground swallowed me up…
I have updated my blog in my mind many times over the last month. There were even moments where I got on the computer, logged in, hit Add New post and started writing only to get interrupted. At some point, I just gave up. I have managed to be online a sum... »
Rain makes the flowers grow…
or so I hear. It feels a little like a swampland here lately. Hopefully, the rainbow and big beautiful blooms are not far behind! Aidan had his EEG yesterday. I’ll be honest. I expected it to be completely normal. Part of the reason we put it off and went to Jellystone first... »
