The plow guy has a stake in our place

After careful consideration, my dear wife Karen and I decided to sign a yearly contract with the plowing company that took care of us our first winter at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Soon after, four stakes were in the ground when I arrived home from my job at the library.…

Great new place for the kids

My sweet daughter and her sensational significant have done well. They’ve moved into a new place. It’s their first joint venture under the same roof.

She really doesn’t look it

Georgia is one of the crew of the annual girls getaway vacations. She and hubbie Bert also now are our neighbors in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, too. S…
