Sticky Note Fun With Livvy
Most of the time I tolerate Livvy’s antics pretty well. She has this very bad habit of climbing up on my desk and planting her big Siamese butt in front of my monitor. She then presses her wet nose on the screen– or even licks it!– so the monitor is speckled with slimy cat snot. [...]

Friday, February 25, 2011
We expected it. It’s still *only* February in Upstate New York. :S We really can’t breathe a sigh of relief until about mid-April, really. And I honestly don’t mind the snow, except that… well, this late in the season, it’s not that nice, fluffy Lake Effect snow from Lake Ontario. It’s monster snow, loaded with [...]

Tuesday, December 21, 2010
Did you hear about the lunar eclipse last night? It was a unique event, because it occurred on the winter solstice (the shortest day of the year). Unfortunately, I missed it (I actually do try to see these astronomical events, I think they are amazing!), but someone made a very cool video of it! I’m [...]

Friday, December 17, 2010
I am definitely not one to watch viral videos, especially all the goofy “talking” or “singing” animal videos out there. BUT. This one is hilarious! Whoever made this video did an exceptional job! Not only is the video entertaining, the creator really captured the personalities of the various animals (especially the cats, LOL). It’s a [...]

Monday, July 27, 2009
I grew up near New York’s largest inland lake. I sometimes miss the life by the waterside: the fresh fish, the swimming, the boating, the marina activities. I live in Central New York where the nearest REAL lake is 40 miles away. I am not a very good land-lubber… So I watched this amazing video [...]

Saturday, June 20, 2009
My daughter put together a collection of clips where our kitty, Livvy, is talking to us. Actually, the video clips don’t do it justice. Maybe she gets camera shy, but Livvy clams up somewhat after we break out the camcorder! She can carry on some really neat conversations. One night we discussed the repercussions of [...]

Ooooooooooo!!! If this isn’t adorable, I don’t know what is!! This kitty looks exactly like my beautiful Livvy when she was small (she has grown so much!). And Livvy would do dumb stuff like this, too, haha! This is just too cute, tooo cute! Related Posts:Find the Kitty Friday: Scrub a DubFind the Kitty Friday: [...]

Thursday, February 12, 2009
This snow machine vehicle, a hybrid of a tractor, automobile, and steam-roller, designed in 1924, is fantastic! I want one! I think we could use some of these in Upstate New York! Armstead Snow Motors from Seeking Michigan on Vimeo. From the site: In January 1926, Time magazine reported: “Having used the motor car for [...]

Sunday, January 25, 2009
We’re back to the deep freeze here in Upstate New York. But February is on the way!! Plus, I saw this video, taken from Antartica, and I feel suddenly warmer with my 5-degree NY weather! That’s a scientist who lives in Antarctica, showing us what a Condition 1 storm is like on the icy continent. [...]

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
