The door stops here

Our side screen door at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville has been free to do what it may for almost a year now, or ever since the big wind grabbed hold of it last winter and forced me to struggle mightily to keep myself and said rectangle from taking a skyward…

Light show, squared

I think I got the swirl of holiday lights on the front tree on the lawn of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville done right this year. It looks pretty good even without the help of Mother Nature in the background, if I say so myself.

One last mow in December

I missed mowing my lawn in November this year. And with the mild weather that has lingered around A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, I watched the green grow higher.

Everybody rocked but the Orange

The five-buck ticket was worth it. My fantastic daughter Elisabeth, her sensational significant George Three and I had a fine time for the season finale at the Carrier Dome Saturday afternoon. We started with a visit to the quad, watching a bit of the Pride of the Orange marching band and scoring some free chocolate…
