Sometimes you kind of hit the mark, but not quite. The Raspberry Pie bars were not what Tony had in mind. He wanted to have the standard pie. Oh well. He loved the bars anyway. Sometimes you think you know what your spouse wants, but not always. I guess I am going to figure out [...]
Tony had a request this week. He wanted a fruit dessert. Something closer to a fruit pie. He didn't have a preference so of course I chose raspberries. Pie is a bit finicky. I only make true pie once per year for Thanksgiving. My brother would keel over if pumpkin pie wasn't on the menu. [...]
What a week. While nothing earth shattering happened, I did something I had not done before. I went to see a minor league team play. I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I wanted to take Tony out for something fun. He is a baseball fan. We went to see the Lansing Lugnuts play. It [...]
I'm thrilled to have a regular week. There's something about a regular routine that is comforting. At least for me. Menopause has made my brain a bit forgetful. So, the routine helps me remember what I'm supposed to be doing. I can tell that when things are out of routine, I forget things. Every trip [...]
I'm back from my travels this week. The upper peninsula of Michigan is a beautiful place. If you want untamed wilderness, that is the place to go. Cities are few and far between. There are only a handful. Those cities are very small compared to a place like Grand Rapids or Detroit. Plenty of camping, [...]
This week there is no travel. It feels nice to be on my regular schedule. Next week, I am travelling once again. I guess I don't want to spend too much time in the office. I'm finally attending a conference I wanted to for a while. It was always scheduled in the past during other [...]
It hasn't been too crazy this week. A couple of presentations but no real travel. Things are plugging along at our old house. The thing we are not looking forward to is cleaning out the rest of our stuff. The garage will be a nightmare. Deciding what to keep and what to sell as well [...]
I'm still recovering from last week's marathon of house work. My runs so far have been kinda crappy. Even so, I'd rather have a slower than normal run than no run at all. When we work out, we will have days where we're just not feeling it. The difference between someone who has made exercise [...]
This week I'm up to some painting and laying flooring. I took the week off to help out with the old house. Tony has been needing some extra help for a while and this is the first week I could take off. I finally felt confident enough to take the week off because I have [...]
More work on this house this week. Even though our current house was a lot more work, the old one feels more overwhelming. We still have stuff in there that we have to do something with. It's hard to determine what to sell, what to keep and what to donate. Cleaning the house also scares [...]
