Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

  Here we are on a Friday again. It is so nice to head into a weekend. I hope your week wasn’t too stressful. If it was, then you are only eight hours until relief. I went to the dentist today. My teeth had not been cleaned since October of 2019. I was scheduled for […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Twiggy Inspect the Work

A short note. I am currently extending the downspout drains to take the water away from the center of the yard. During the heavy rains, the yard floods and takes a while to move away. Twiggy loves to play in the puddles, and Lucy hates to get her feet wet. In some of the later […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

  It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week, we saw Mike Moore, the FBI agent, organize a SWAT team to surround the house where Cortez lives. The tricky part is there are four hostages inside, and Mike doesn’t want to start a shooting war that could get them killed. He has decided to […]

Top Ten Things Not to Do at a Wedding

This post originally ran on June 15th 2015. It still appears to hold some water today.   Since June is wedding month, I can’t let it pass without making some comments on what we should all avoid if we are in a wedding, invited to a wedding, or married. I hope you enjoy it.   […]

Our entertainment is Taylor Swift. Here is the brunch menu. Bread Pudding Banana’s Foster CremeFraiche, Ru […]

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Drive

  I was enjoying a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood yesterday. I was on the lookout for the deer since I intend to provide a deer update on the Neighborhood Views on Sunday. As I was turning into my cul-de-sac, I felt the wind of the big brown UPS truck as it barely missed running […]

Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

  Another Friday and another fast week. I love the refrain, “I just don’t know where the time goes.” It speaks so well for the current situation. But, of course, it is a refrain spoken mostly by the senior members of the population. I have to plead guilty as being included in that body of […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – Chore Questions

“Lucy, come quick. Dad’s been at it again.” “Coming Little One.” “Look at all that junk. Wat’s he been doing?” “I really don’t know. We’ll have to ask.” “What are you doing over on the other side of the yard.” “trying to find a place to hide. That stuff looks dangerous.” “Oh, I don’t think […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

  It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week we were all stunned to know that the Escalade used to pick up an order from Chick-Fil-A and which was owned by the now late widow Tounsand is sitting in Cortez’s driveway. We have also assumed that it is the same Escalade used to take […]
