Keeping track of that old-time feel

I took the direct route from Point A (the library) to Point B (my drug store) to get my prescriptions on the way home to A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. And along came a train to block my way. This is the second main road on which I had to stop…

Collection row

A day off from the library allowed me to walk with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle around the block surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville in the weekday morning of our garbage collection.

Leaves from surrounding trees also found their way onto our property. So when a day off coincided with yet another window of…

We nailed my first mani/pedi
