Hope all the moms out there had a good Mother's Day.

I'd planned to paint my workshop shed, but my son called at 8:30 am yesterday to ask if I'd watch the kiddos while he & my DIL played golf.

Of course, I agreed. 😀 Being here and able to do things like that is exactly why I moved to be nearer.

They are typical little kids (4 & 2), busy, happy, with moments of whine/cry.

I loved it.

Happy Caturday!

Since last Monday - been in the process of moving to NC.

Finally getting settled here. Still chaotic, but in the house. Took a week to get internet - line to the house was corrupted.

Anyway, happy to be back among you. I like hanging out here for a few hours every morning. 😀

Had a family reunion of sorts a couple weeks ago. It was so much fun - BUT -

the best(!) part was learning that my previously born-again evangelical sister (who is no longer any of that) who is still a hard-right Republican -

all 5 (Five!) of her adult children are liberals/Dems now.

That made me soooo happy.

Good morning!

Great article this morning about the new broadband 'nutrition' labeling that goes into effect this coming week.

Finally - we'll know up front what the real costs will be when we pick one.

Happy Caturday.

I chaired the raffle for SleuthFest (the FMWA's annual writers conference) for 9 years before becoming Co-Chair of the whole shebang the following 4 years.

This was 2014 in Orlando. I miss those days and lots of those people.

Treasure every day you get.

My workshop is rescheduled for April 13th. It's FREE! But you must register. It's going to be fun & will get your creative gears turning again.

I love this strip. 😜

This explains why I was sooo cold when I visited France in May (some years back).

Be aware of the road and air traffic problems that will arise under and near the eclipse's path on April 8th.

Gifting this article about it.

Got the car insurance quote for when I move out of South Florida to the Wilmington, NC area.

It's going from $300.00 month to $87.00 month!!

Florida is soooo screwed up. Costing more & more to live here every year.

I found a house to rent in NC!

Last night, the panic set in. Lord, do I have a lot to do now.

I hate moving, but am very excited about being close to the grands.
❤️

Happy Monday.

I'm with Rat on this one.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

My nana was Irish. Strong as hell woman, she was. In every way.

We're all a wee bit Irish today.

Finally finished the family room I was working on up in Boca.

Did every bit of the work, including building the custom display cabinets for her collections of miniature things.

Here's before and after. The TV will be hung on the wall, wires, hidden, etc.

Ah, the 50s. Me and my big sister, Steph. She looks innocent, but she was a devil. (In a good way.)

Happy Tuesday!!
