StarStruk By Life

I love weekends so much…this one was especially nice because hus was home…lots of together time doing puttery stuff, lots of good (and healthy) grilled and rotisseried food (hus never stops raving about his new rotisserie…he loves loves loves it), lots of lazy, doing nothing productive time.  So far, I haven’t been able to make […]

…and I don’t have to water my gardens!  I’m worried about all the ripe berries being dashed to the ground, but maybe that will make it easier to harvest our dessert for tonight.  It was so nice to wake up to the sound of wind and rain against the windows.  Of course, now I can’t […]

Gorgeous weekend…a little on the hot and sweaty side, but I am making an effort not to complain.   Woke up to sun through the shades…ahhhh…I’m happy to pay for it with a few thunderstormy days later in the week. Didn’t get my biggest project even started this weekend, despite the sun…two rehabbed window frames on […]

Had the world’s best dessert last night…I took my little bowl out to the berry garden and picked a big bowl of raspberries…along the way, I found about 12 ripe blueberries which I added to the bowl.  A sprinkle of powdered sugar (totally unnecessary but…), a little milk and can you say YUMMMMMM? I had […]

OK, in a blog a while back, I mentioned the fact that I am following a new-to-me group of young ladies introduced to me by my daughter (I would link her blog except that she hasn’t updated it in ages because she is too busy DOING! <G>).  Now that I know how to insert links, I’d […]

The sun was shining when I woke up this morning.  It is forecast to be shining tomorrow and Wednesday mornings, too.  Joy! Pinched a nerve or somesuch so that pain radiates down from glutes into uppermost back of my leg.  I’m fine once I get upright or seated, but getting there is quite amusing… Hus […]

Sun!  I woke up to sun! Oh, Red Sox…you’re breaking my heart… Hus LOVES the rotisserie I got for his beloved Weber grill… Ticks…ICK!  I break down and put gross chemicals on my cats and still the ticks come in. I am lovin’ my latest Dirk Pitt/Al Giordino adventure on audiobook…this one is Treasure of […]

I’m falling into the trap of being hyper-focused on the weather.  It has been so rainy and gray that a day of sun, even an hour of sun, seems noteworthy.  But today, at least this morning, it is just plain dull.  Gray and not raining.  Don’t know what to wear…cheery and bright to counteract the […]

Hus says I have to stop calling them “the kids”…my “children” are now 26 and 29…harrumph…they will always be the kids to me. Loving a half day with son and his girl…they came down from VT for a Red Sox game (boo hoo, they saw Smoltz drubbed and the Sox with only two hits; YES, […]

And there was sun…so much was waiting for sun!  I finally got a coat of Kilz on the reconstructed window casings at the front of our house.  Next comes the stain and we are done with those windows…on to the next… Son and his girl are here…they made the long drive from VT to catch […]
