Doug met with a realtor yesterday to go over the repairs he’s starting for a make-ready. On the way back to Katy he stopped by Evelyn’s to give me a ride home from the gym. Some days we go to her gym in Houston, some days, mine in Katy. Anyway, I figured I was going …(Read More)

About two weeks ago I received a post card stating we had won a free cruise. Since we live close to Galveston and could drive to the ship, Doug and I agreed to attend the “presentation”. The young woman I spoke to on the phone reassured me that the meeting was purely “informational” and no …(Read More)
I think that most women consider a massage a true luxury- a luxury that most of us cannot afford these days. You lay down and tell the masseuse exactly what you want- and they do it. They have magic hands-not too hard, not too soft, just right. It’s a wonderful thing where you can go …(Read More)
When we moved to this house two years ago, one thing I really liked was the big back patio. Over time however, it has become the outside version of a junk drawer. Broken flower pots, a dog crate, the canvas awning for a patio swing and one big-ass BBQ pit (AKA: BAP) along with a …(Read More)
My parents moved our family to Texas when I was quite young to start a new business in Houston. As a treat, occasionally we would go to Lake Houston to go fishing. This was not a crystal blue “Colorado” kind of lake. This was a mud hole. We didn’t own a boat back then so …(Read More)

When I was 11 in 1962, my mom got pregnant. My mom was almost 42 when Brad was born. My dad was 45. After he was born, my mom pretty much turned over his care for the first six weeks to my dad and I- except of course when he was at work and I …(Read More)
I love this sign. This is from headgeezer.com. It’s a fun site. I’m Bodacious Geezerette. They even have a Geezerpedia and a list of Geezer radio stations. At headgeezer it’s not about the age. It’s about the attitude. Go there and list your Geezer name and sign up to get Geezergrams.
Do you ever have a thought just pop into your head and you have no idea how it got there? That happened to me the other day. Actually, it happens a lot- but that’s another story. Anyway, Doug and Nate, (Amanda’s bf), are currently working together and came here to have lunch the other day. …(Read More)
