Spring? Already?

I guess we've neglected the ol' blog for a while, sorry about the lack of updates... We've been busy, I promise!

Today is the 2nd official day of outdoor cleanup and maintenance. The first mow job of the season was fun, I think I emptied the bag about a dozen times. We had a nice little work day out in the rain on Easter, raking the debris that had collected over the winter. The side of our house is like a wind tunnel that blows all the leafs, garbage, etc. from the neighborhood into our fence. It's crazy all the stuff that collects. I found this business card in a leaf pile.

Back (click for larger size):


'57? has this been in a leaf pile for 50 years? Where could it have possibly come from?

Doing yard work in the rain is a surprisingly pleasant and cleansing experience. Why do we need to sit in a building to celebrate Easter? Rebirth? Renewal? Return-to-life? Yard work does it for me.

Stumbled across your blog looking for info on Barnum (I just closed on my house there) and I wanted to say I'm really enjoying the renovations! And cat pictures. And the fact that your cat and my sister have the same name.

Anyway, you guys have sort of calmed my nerves about buying and now I'm getting pretty excited about moving and decorating and all that. Thanks a bunch, and good luck!

Firstly, let us consider what these free casino chips are really worth to the individual online casino player. Free casino chips are of four main types:



Are you new to casino slots, Baccarat, or any other type of online casino game? Some sites provide you the opportunity to participate in a virtual casino school. Some sites have tutorials to explain the rules and nuances of certain games. The web resources are there to enable you to play blackjack and beyond with the best of them.

- Understand the set-up of the game on the site you're visiting. Make sure you know what you're clicking and why. It can be very confusing with all the bells and whistles and buttons flashing at you. Know the function of anything you click. If you cannot navigate your way around the game properly, use support tools the site may offer.


It is very important that the casino you choose to register for the offer at any of your favorite games, such as virtual table games, slots and rollers. The online casinos usually have a list of games they offer on their website to see the potential players. In case your favorite games are not listed, it is advisable to proceed to the next casino.


One method to check the reliability of online casinos is to check the software vendor from whom they have leased their games. Currently, the casino software developers in the market who are reputed to produce ethical and quality casino software are Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech and CryptoLogic Inc.

6.) Play your online bingo game at a site with less or balanced number of players. Winning chances in overcrowded games is low. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free online bingo games[/url] There are 75 balls in all with numbering from one to 75. Hence, the probability of any random number to come in the first draw is 1/75. There are three accepted tests for assuring randomness of the balls. These are:
o Numbers ending in 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, etc. are in equal proportions.
o High and low numbers occur in equal balances.
o Odd and even numbers occur in equal balances. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]uk online bingo[/url] If you do not know anyone who uses the gaming sites or you want some additional reinforcement your first port of call should be an online bingo community. By reading reviews by other people who use the Bingo sites, you will be able to get a feel for the different sites that exist and make a more qualified decision about which one you would like to use. The knowledge concerning different sites and what other users consider important about them is an invaluable tool for the new online Bingo player. Whether it is for fun or for money, there needs to be an element of integrity within the site and a potential for the player to win the game. The knowledge of other users concerning specific sites will tell the new online Bingo player whether the site is for real or is just masquerading in order to harvest the players email addresses in order to bombard them with spam, or worse con them out of their hard earned cash. This can all be avoided with research and trying before you buy, as mentioned earlier the best places to scope out bingo sites is by using a review site or Bingo members forum.

Bingo is usually played in special halls where many players can play at the same time. The actual fun is the tension building up seeing other players closer and closer to the finish line. However, with the advent of the Internet, BINGO has gone online as well. There are many ways to play on the net, though the basics remain the same. You will have to complete a given pattern before anyone else in order to win. Over the net, you need not shout the computer will flash it out for you. Some online games also have chat attached to the games where you can speak with other players online and have fun right from your home, office or any other place where you can get on the net. Chatting is a great way to meet new people and pick up the tips and tricks.

Well..sorry to say I just joined the bandwagon following your home reno!!!I have truly enjoyed what you've done to your home =) We have a 1938 redneck special here in the hills of TN that we're gearing up to restart on our own reno. The ceilings are at a height of 7ft, which since I'm barely over 5ft, makes me feel tall! Haha But we're raising the ceiling height and adding rooms. My husband is a plumber so that's a huge help! And he's an amazing handyman =) I am sad to see there haven't been any posts in the last several years, and am wondering if you switched blog platforms? I'd really like to see the final finishing touches!!!
