Photo bonus day

Good and shots I think I’ve collected during my first four weeks walking around the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville and haven’t found a place for in any other post so far: I love the lines of the one above. It hardly looks like a suburban block. The one above screams of a well-kept house in…

An interesting place for a big house

You never know what you’re going to see when you take a walk in your new place in the world. Odd, quirky stuff, if you’re lucky. It’s happening already in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. My dear wife Karen and I came upon a good one while circling the blocks surrounding a Bitty Better with…

A triangle, but I don’t think it’s Bermuda … grass

I told you about the lawn/park that’s attached to the Salina Town Hall. Not too far from that, and A Bitty Better by proxy, is another green space that I don’t quite know what to make of for sure. It’s put in such a place that all drivers must slow down at all three sides…

Hello, Salina Town Hall lawn park

Over at the Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood, we had had Norwood Field. You probably got tired of hearing about Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I circling the couple of blocks there during our many walks, in fact. And now in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, we have a park…

Ellie B can be a good guard dog

I must admit I poked a bit of fun at our devoted rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle in yesterday’s post, what with her, er, relaxed couch pose. To be fair, she is a rather good guard dog, too, always ready to protect A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, as witness…

Ellie B likes the new look, same old feel of her couch

My dear wife Karen and I got new chairs to appreciate the living room of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle got to keep the couch she loved so much. She did, however, have to get accustomed to its facelift. The new slipcover and comforter to better…

Our new little tree makes us smile

Little by little, my dear wife Karen and I got the inside holiday decorating done in A Bitty Better exactly the way we wanted it. The final piece of the puzzle fell into place with a trip to Chuck Hafner’s Garden Center, just down the road now from our lovely new home in the Liverpool…

Let there be more lights for A Bitty Better’s first holiday

At first I thought I’d buy enough strands of lights to decorate the evergreen tree to the left of the front of A Bitty Better. In fact, I told my dear wife Karen that was the plan for our first Christmas in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Then I took a good look up. And…

All that snow can’t stay on the deck of A Bitty Better

I could not just sit and wait for my dear wife Karen and I to walk over to our friends Georgia and Bert’s house one block over from A Bitty Better to partake in a wonderful Thanksgiving bird and all the accompanying treats. No. All that snow that had fallen a few days in front…

It snows and blows up here on the Galeville hill

My dear wife Karen and I wondered how life at A Bitty Better would be when the first major snow hit our life in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. We woke up in deep Monday morning. Sunday’s weather forecasts had me prepared for early shovel action. Yet you don’t really know what you’re going to…
