i have a reason – that’s sort of like an excuse

Apr 11, 2023

I said I would post photos of the before and after of the small bathroom upstairs but I didn’t finish it. 🙁

I bought trim brushes but when I got everything out this morning to begin, they were nowhere to be found. I looked as best I could in all the boxes stored in the room with the treadmill — none there. I looked in the garage too. Nope.

All that time and effort and I was able to locate only one brush. The vanity and mirror took three coats of paint and no way could I wash out that brush in between coats. I simply didn’t get to do the walls… but I will today.

Backyards make a lifestyle statement.

It’s crazy how much my lifestyle has changed over the past year. Just one example is the comparison between back yards from where I did live in Seymour to where I live now.

The backyard in Seymour was just fine — a decent size compared to that of my neighbors.

You might prefer that type of yard to what I see now in rural Crothersville, and that’s ok. I looked out my window yesterday to see a red fox strolling along about 5′ from me. That’s not for everyone, for sure.

This place suits me. I like it.
