There Is A Lot Going On And It Has Caught My Attention

A lot has happened over the past couple of days! I sort of mentioned the 2 words we've been hearing over and over and over again during this time. Those 2 words would be "Corona Virus" and "COVID-19." In my Work at Home Dog Mom Life, I have never witnessed a pandemic that has spread so wide and far and caused such pandemonium. 

Wait. What. Is This Really Happening?

On Sunday, I posted this photo on my personal Facebook wall. It's our dining room. Accompanying the photo was a little quip that read, "I've always wanted a separate dining room with a big ol' heavy wood table and chairs, and an old heavy clay produce bowl in the center. When Lisa ran an errand today, she made sure to pick up items to fill the clay bowl. Clementine. Kiwi. Bananas. Mango. Avocado. Total yummy bliss. I'm a happy girl."

Instead Of Relaxing, We Decided To Paint The Bodacious DIY Dog Mom Project Workshop

Lisa was on vacation for a week. During that week, we got our entire house unpacked and decorated. It was a lot of work, but we conquered it. Our plan was to bust ass all week and take the weekend to unwind. But. Nope. That didn't happen. Instead...

I Am Grateful That We Crossed That Line Of Seller-Buyer Etiquette

We received a beautiful card from the previous owners of our home on Saturday. Lisa handed me the envelope. Before I go any further, I need to back up a bit...

We Purchased A Doormat Today...

Lisa is on vacation this week. She had a last minute opportunity to take this week off and she scooped it up. For the first time in at least 5 years, she took a vacation that did not revolve around renovations, painting projects, house and pet sitting, etc. Lisa simply wants to enjoy our new house and settle in. 

Today Is The Beginning Of A New Month And It Was Rather Great...

Up early. A scrumptious breakfast at Bill's Bread & Breakfast with Lisa. A little shopping spree at Home Depot for house stuff. Putting faces to names of a couple of cool guys who have only known me for my baked goods. A big bowl of farm fresh eggs gifted to us. A spontaneous adult beverage and great conversation with a special friend of ours.
