More old stuff… with love
Have had some requests for more pics of old stuff around our neck of the woods. This is not too much of a challenge for me: A) Because I love old things – they are just more interesting!!! B) Because…
Dimples…Lord Help Me!
The Little Woman is three years old… going on 30. She has (as my Dad would say) plenty of bounce to the ounce. She’s not big, but no-one could ever forget she was around. Not that she is loud necessarily.…
Flooded: the Mini-Series
Remember the rain I told you about last post? Well, upstream from us, up in the hills further north-west of Granite Glen, it rained even more. And so, as happens when the rain-sodden earth can no longer drink the wetness…
