Remember when I shared our new little garage that we had delivered at our woods?  Well…. you know how one project leads to another with Deb and I.  Once we get one thing accomplished, it sparks creativity for another one.  We can’t sit still for very long.  Our brains are way too active for sitting.  […]

We had a driveway doorbell alarm at our last two homes.  The big house in the country had one at the end of the driveway. Once it detected cars pulling in, it would ring a doorbell in the house.  Which gave us ample time to put our bras on… or hide.  ????   Whichever option was […]

I will never forget.  Deb was just about to lose her marbles about a month ago here at the rental.  She told me that she needed a project.  She is a very creative person.  Not being able to create when your mind is active is a sad thing.  We have a little area with several […]

I just had to update you all on our new build progress this weekend.  Because I want to be able to have a place to look back and see how far we have come. If you are following along with Instagram stories, you know that Deb and I have recently been working on clearing a […]

I know I’ve told you a million times that we like different sitting areas.  Morning coffee, happy hour, lunches, snacks all need to be enjoyed with different scenery.  ????   At least that’s how we think.  We always sipped our coffee on the front porch at the House on Winchester.  And our happy hours were USUALLY […]

Deb and I made a DIY bird feeder stand out of an old cast iron light post at the old house in the woods years ago.  And, we loved it.  It keeps all of the different bird feeders in one location.  We had a porch column in our stash and Deb decided to make another […]
