Fences Make Good Neighbors

Well, we are getting new neighbors in the rental next door. Time for a privacy fence.  The rental has 3 bedrooms, 2 in the basement unheated and the landlord rented to a single woman with 7 kids.  Windows were broken, trash thrown in our yard, this all started the first week.  Landlord won't return phone calls, she won't answer the door.  Fence Time.  Don't know what's in store with the new neighbors.

Anyone else put up a fence to keep their sanity and protect their property?

Just Another Day

Woke up this morning to 2 inches of snow on the ground and temps hovering at 27.  Beat our earliest snow fall by 4 days this year.  Took a lot of thought, but cranked on the furnace and the place was nice and toasty in a few minutes.  Does not bode well for heating bills this winter.  Well, isn't it always something?

At least the fall clothes are looking nice at the stores this year, gives me an excuse to get some new duds.

Hope everyone is having a happy and healthy day..

Hello Everyone

Let my introduce myself:  I am a woman in her 50s living in a small community in the West.  I thought I'd start this blog to reach out to other woman in their 50s  that share things in common.  I am an animal lover, 2 dogs, 1 puppy and 2 cats.  Oh yeah, 1 husband.  I garden, gourmet cook, read extensively, crochet, knit, travel, volunteer and the usual things women do: laundry, dishes, etc. (all the fun stuff)!  I have been battling weight issues and am sure there are alot of us out there.

Just thought it would be a nice place to get things off my chest and see if anyone agrees or disagrees.

I have another blog:  http://debann-debann.blogspot.com.  I use this blog for doing product reviews.  Feel free to check it out.  Been a little lazy lately in keeping it up, but now that Winter is coming, I have more time to devote to doing things I enjoy.

Talk to you soon....
