I am a retired 44-year veteran of the Real Estate Assessment field. As with real estate assessing and how it applies to real estate taxes, one can make many acquaintances, but not many real friends. It was a great career choice.
It has been nearly 10 years since I reclaimed my home and my real passions within my home. I enjoy it more each day and tip my hat to those who I left behind.
Each day I try to stretch myself with the use of my computer as it relates to this site and using it to print out labels for quilts for trying to incorporate photos into my sewing. Life is so full and I know that I have room for more.
Here are the first days of August with a fair share of heat and humidity, making these mornings the best. As we sat on the east patio this morning, the breeze brought the wonderful scents of the blooming Phlox to us. We did rouse ourselves long enough to put up a birdhouse that needed a new post. What? Where we decided to put it, it could not be seen from the patio. Out came the the trimmers and the Tiger-Eye Sumac got a trim. Ah, much better.
