Open Live Edge Shelving
The absolute ugliest bank of cabinets at the Redneck Retreat were to the left of the sink. They sagged, one of them had the Formica peeled off, and they were huge. I couldn’t live with them in the kitchen. They were nasty. Since this was the week we were already going to be replacing the […]

A Trip to Waco Part 1
Y’all, I had the best weekend last week. I got to spend the weekend in the season 1, episode 1 Fixer Upper home. While that was an awesome experience, sleeping for two nights with all of my kids and my sweet granddaughter under one roof along with our dear friends was the BEST part of […]

Plans for the Cabin
This weekend The Social Planner ( TSP), her hubby Larry, Mr. Math, and I spent the better part of a day cleaning up and making plans for the cabin we are getting. There were so many more happy surprises on the first “walk through” of this project after the tenants moved out than we did […]

Selling a Home
I am not an expert in a lot of areas. Never ask me to knit, crochet, sew, or bake a soufflé. I can’t grow anything that is is the least bit tricky (this month alone I have killed an orchid and it appears one of my succulents are dying), and car repair of any sort […]

Back Yard Dreaming
I am dreaming of getting our back yard spruced up. I mean I go out there at least twice a day and stare at our yard just dreaming of how it will look. One of the things I liked about our house in the burbs was our big back yard. We live on a […]

Making a Corn Hole Set
One sweet memory I have from The Southern Belle and Big Cat’s wedding last summer was an outdoor family gathering where we got to meet the families. Big Cat set up his corn hole set to play. Lots of folks got in on the action, even my sweet mom, Me Mie. Ever since then I […]

Cedar Windfall
Guess what I got this weekend? I got a load of gorgeous cedar lumber! I am so excited about doing some projects. My dad had cedar trees on his timber property that a guy wanted to buy from him. Dad went in halves with the guy. That means that the guy did all the work […]
