The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
Meijer no longer stocks Gynol II, the contraceptive jelly, California Girl uses with her diaphragm. We called drugstore after drugstore and couldn’t find any place that carried it. We’ve ordered some on the internet; but it won’t be here before the middle of next week at the earliest. It looks like the tube has 2-3 [...]
Twenty twelve. We’ve been in the “new millennia” for a long time but I years starting with twenty still seem strange. We still haven’t taken down our Christmas tree; mostly we’re not in a hurry to mark the end of the holiday season. I’m sure that we’ll end up taking take a day or two [...]
We all know the mnemonic “spring forward, fall back” for Daylight Savings Time. Unfortunately, for me it should probably be “just stay home”. Today was not a good day even for a Monday. I never get a good night’s sleep after the time change. I’m fine on Sunday when I don’t have to get up; [...]
It’s been a while since we last posted but California Girl and I are still alive and well. The fall is usually a bust time for us; but, so far, September has been very hectic, even for us. The relaxing days of this past summer are a rapidly fading memory. Labor Day weekend was great; [...]
California Girl and I really enjoyed celebrating our 23rd anniversary this past weekend. It doesn’t’ seem like we have been together 28 years. We are proud that we’ve made our marriage last that long. And that it’s still a relationship of love rather than a relationship of convenience. I’m not sure what life would be [...]
It’s not Memorial Day weekend yet; but, with both kids being home from college, California Girl and I have begun our “summer schedule”. So, for the next three months or so, we’ll primarily be publishing our Two For Tuesday post on Wednesday evening. Tuesday is a busy day for us. We don’t mind the late [...]
We know that not everyone who reads this blog is Christian; but we still wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter! Easter Sunday is later in the month this year than it has been the past few years but it is still a good time to pause and reflect on the coming year. Lawnmower and [...]
That’s how The Girl suggested we categorize the car problems we had on Friday evening. First, the car that she usually drives wouldn’t shift out of park. The brake shift interlock has “stuck” in the past; but, yesterday, it wouldn’t budge. So, she used the car that California Girl usually drives for errands. I peeled [...]
I unexpectedly had to do the homeowner thing this evening; plus, with the time change, California Girl was already feeling a bit discombobulated, so we decided to reschedule this week’s photo session for Tomorrow (Wednesday). We got a Gorillapod (flexible tripod) on Monday and don’t want to be in a rush when we are trying [...]
We’ve had a lot going on around the house the past few days; plus the project I am on at work has a major milestone this week, so we decided to postpone our weekly photo session until Wednesday. We plan to publish our TFT post late Wednesday evening and our HNT post as scheduled on Thursday. [...]
