Truly the Digital Age

Grandma and Grandson Digitally Connected

He's more interested in what she's watching on her Chromebook than the game he's playing on his IPad!  

I'm not sure why I am u at 3:30AM blogging to an audience that probably doesn't exist.  I don't put key words that bring on the search happy folks.  I don't even say much that is worth reading.  But, it does get things out of my system.  Perhaps that is why I hit the pages from time to time (should have been hyphenated, maybe)?  It is really a rhetorical question.

It is going to be a fantastic Monday!  The grass is growing well, trees are in bloom, the garden is planted, part of the lawn is reseeded - new stepping flagstones in place, the fish are eating once again, the new pond liner has been purchased (sounds like work), it is recycle day, the squirrels need their corn cobs, so much to do, so many great moments to enjoy!  Enjoy yours, I know I will enjoy mine!

New Window Today

We have to replace the window above the fireplace.  Today is the day!  We are installing an "Infinity from Marvin" replacement windows "Built for Life.  They've started sawing the old one out!  Lifetime Windows got here at 9, exactly when they said they would.  That is a good sign!

I'd call it the 6th major repair since moving in 5 years ago:


  1. Drywall and Paint Garage -- an improvement, not a repair
  2. New Roof - Hail Damaged
  3. Replaced the Water Softener
  4. Rebuilt the patio brick by brick
  5. Mud pumped the front porch steps and side-walk
  6. Winter Storm tree limb and tree clean up
  7. Replace the BIG window!
Before Replacement Note the Condensation Between the Panes

After Replacement

4.5 Hours later - Job well done!  Have an awesome week!
