Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think, COVID is not dead and gone. It is still a very dangerous disease, with thousands of people being hospitalized for it every day. And even those who have been vaccinated and boosted are still not out of the water, as our son Travis and his […]
Terry had her second cataract surgery Tuesday afternoon, and then first thing yesterday morning, we had to be back in Titusville for the first post-op appointment. And just like with the previous eye, which was done two weeks ago, there was a lot of hurry up and wait. She was told to be at the […]
My friend, author Jason Deas, asked me how we like the Lunix LX3 cordless electric hand massager we ordered from Amazon a while back, and I told him it does an excellent job and Terry loves it and uses it all the time. I like it, too, but my wrists are so thick that I […]
Except for my daily blog, I’ve been slacking off in the writing department since the release of Big Lake Ranger right after Christmas. I did bring out Murder, Mayhem, And Main Street a week or so ago, which is an e-book bundle with the first books in my three different mystery series along with a […]
Smoked turkey, that is. For a long time now, we have been talking about smoking a turkey in our Orion convection smoker, but we never seemed to get around to it. On our last shopping excursion to Publix grocery store a couple of weeks ago, they had turkey breasts on sale, and Terry asked if […]
I have a problem with my wife and I just don’t know what to do about it. I know what I should do about it, but that’s not going to happen. You see, my wife is the best cook in the world, and she makes wonderful treats all the time. It’s something she loves to […]
I don’t know when you will see this blog, since when I logged on at 11:30 last night to get it ready to post, I got a message saying that WordPress was doing some kind of critical update and to try back later. I waited until just before midnight and got the same message. If […]
As I wrote in yesterday’s blog, Terry had an appointment at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville as a follow-up to her Interstim implant. We timed it just right, scoring a parking spot in the often crowded campus just a few feet from the door, stopping in the lobby to have our temperatures taken and answered […]
Yesterday we donned face masks and gloves and ventured out to get groceries for the first time in almost three weeks. Our first stop was at Walgreens to pick up a prescription, and while we were there, we found some Bounty paper towels, limit one package per customer, and snagged one. They were entirely out […]
Do you remember the old Bill Engvall “Here’s Your Sign” bits about stupid people? Where is Bill when we need him? Because while toilet paper and hand sanitizer may be hard to find, we sure don’t have any shortage of stupid people these days! Yesterday we went out for the first time in two weeks […]
After being awakened in the wee hours of the morning the other night when our neighbor’s place burned to the ground, and then being amped up on adrenaline and not able to get back to sleep, I was really looking forward to some solid dream time before I had to get up early to go […]
My neighbor Chris Fisher says that waiting for a hurricane is like being stalked by a turtle. I guess he is right. You know something’s going to happen, but you could fall asleep waiting for it to do its thing. Terry had a doctor’s appointment yesterday afternoon, and on the way home we stopped at […]
