Writing in my blog makes me smile!

Yes, writing in my blog makes me smile. That’s mostly because I think that I’m the only one who reads it, and I don’t go back and read it often. So it’s really just notes to God, I suppose.

So today, even though it’s Sunday, I’m working. I posted new pages for Arkansas and Colorado today. So now they join Washington, Oregon, Kansas, California, Arizona, and Alaska! Please go and have a look! These are linked from my Our United States page.


I’m loving our new furniture arrangement! I don’t love the rug in the new TV room, so no pics yet, but the space makes more sense to me. It’s a comfortable use of the space. Even though we actually have MORE furniture in there, it seems less crowded.

The only piece of furniture we are getting rid of at this point is the dining room hutch that housed all of my puzzles, glassware, napkins, and a few decorative pieces. All of those are on our kitchen island till I box them up.

They will ultimately go into the TV cabinet that Jack’s talking about building. This will also house my puzzle collection, which is frustratingly hidden in my bedroom in that corner cabinet with the curved glass door which we moved twice but now must go.

I know that I seem to always be moving, rearranging, refurnishing. But that’s just how I was made. I’ve been rearranging furniture since I was a child and Annette and I redid our room often.

I wonder if Annette remembers how we arranged it so that our furniture was all in the middle of the room, leaving a path around the wall. We had bunkbeds, but we often put them down side by side, so that our room would look more like a hotel room.

Preventing Insomnia in Your Computer

I’ve found myself using the “How to Geek” site more often than I’d like to admit. I’m a woman, after all, and I’m not supposed to concern myself with such matters, right? I know. WRONG!

Of late, my computer has had some insomnia. It awakens in the middle of the night, lights flash, it makes noises, then it goes back to sleep. How to fix? I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet, but this site has diagnostic strategies that seem reasonable. This is for Windows 10.

I’ve been continuing work on my States project. Yesterday, I completed AZ and CA. Today I’ve added Oregon! You can access this project from THIS LINK.


In other news, we got our sectional today! It’s big and beautiful (pictures soon) and it should solve a few of our issues.

  • Jodie can sit with us while we are resting in the evening (though she has always preferred the floor).
  • If we are ever able to have guests again, it forms a sweet conversation area, which we were missing in our other arrangement. This area now will comfortably seat 7.
  • If we are ever able to have family visit again, we can all sit on the sectional and watch TV.
