One Saturday To The Next

Saturday the 11th arrived. It was bed assembly time. I knew this was going to be a job more for Nat than myself. My lifting abilities are practically down to picking up change from the streets, and...

Going Green.

Saturday morning. Nat left at the crack of dawn (literally – 5:00 am) for a golf tournament. Around 7:00 am as I’m laying on Nat’s side of the bed enjoying the peace, quiet and tranquility of sleep, a...

Longer Mornings And Loud Noises

Seven days! Seven days of scraping, pounding, hammering, nail gunning, tippy toeing and loud thuds as old shingles fell to the ground. Seven days of having to get up by 7:30 AM with droopy shoulders,...
