The dusting

What is one way that winter in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville can wear you down? When it seems that you can’t remember how many days in a row you had to brush off the cars. And run the shovel along the front walk. I think of it as another darn dusting. But it sure…

That’s our pile

Winter continues in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, and thank you, plow guy. There’s really just a single space in the driveway of A Bitty Better for the plow to leave it. I figured garbage day would bring the size of the pile to light. Our pail is, oh, four-feet high.

Imagine this face on the wall

My dear wife Karen and her terrific friend Marie are getting on a bit of a Painting with a Twist run. Next comes a session in which they will paint their pets. On a canvas, on an easel, that is. So I chased around our cherished rescue mutt, Ellie B and Dogamous Pyle, trying with…

We go with the iPhone 8

Our iPhone 6s were getting old. My dear wife Karen toted them around for more than three years, and they served us well. But they were getting slow. They restarted sometimes. The batteries were losing charge faster. And I wanted a better camera for all these blog photos I take. So off we went to…

Keeping the promise?

The apartment complex Ellie B and I spy during our walks around the blocks of the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville makes a pretty big promise with its name. No, I said a big promise. Yeah, that just begs for a look at the lake, right? Well, not from where the sign sits can I spot…

Another painting, with my dear wife’s twist

Last time, we picked up the brushes together and painted our own halves of a project that now adorns the bedroom wall of A Bitty Better. This time, my dear wife Karen’s friend Marie asked if she’d like to go with her to Painting with a Twist. They took in a night of fun at…
