This year, we had postponed our traditional trip to Mexico, so we took the week to relax, and relax we did. Each night we stayed up a bit longer and slept in a bit more. We got caught up on lots of shows and movies, including: Heated Rivalry The Diplomate The Rip His & Hers… Read More January Staycation recap
We ended our deliveries around 8:00, and when we got home, we heard a knock on the door. Damn it! Trick or treaters were here, we scrabbled to see what we had, and we had some older Jolly Ranchers. Cas opened the door to find they had already moved on and said Come back. The… Read More Halloween
It was a whirlwind of activity, starting on June 1st when we took down that massive blue spruce tree in the front yard—it was taller than our house and just growing bigger! Once it was gone, we did some landscaping and absolutely loved the fresh, open feel of the yard. In mid-June, we stopped for… Read More Here’s a quick recap of our summer!
We spent our day off being productive. We got up early and took down two trees, then dug a three-foot hole for a new tree. After that, we headed to my mom’s house to power wash the exterior. While we were there, we received a few gifts. Later, we returned home to remove a tree… Read More What to do on our day off?
Over the past few days, we have noticed that the outside lights have been going a little crazy and flashing in different zones. We also noticed that the patio lights did not work on one side. Then, yesterday morning, I woke up to the message that there was no Wi-Fi. I tried what I could,… Read More New router

Once Cas started cutting the branches, I removed them and loaded the truck. Once it was full, I would go to… Read More The big tree project
For the past few months, Costco has only had beef patties available, so as Cas shopped with the Mexicans, I headed over to grab some items for us. Like I have done each week, I checked to see what type of patties they had; we liked the sirloin patties the best. As I got closer,… Read More Where’s the beef
Yesterday afternoon, I dusted off the drone we have not used in years and took it out for a quick spin. It’s a DJI Spark that we bought years ago to use while traveling. However, in most of the places we visit, including National Parks, drones are prohibited. So we have not had a chance… Read More Drone view
We saw a chance for snow in the forecast, but like most forecasts these days, we said it wouldn’t snow. We are both off today, so we planned on playing some pickleball and maybe working in the yard, but that changed when we got up. We walked downstairs to see a layer of snow around… Read More It’s still winter
This week received around three and a half inches of snow, and it looks like this could be our last week of snow for the season. Over the next few days, we expect rain and daytime temperatures in the mid-forties, climbing to fifty next week, along with some sun to help melt the remaining snow.… Read More Last day of snow?
