Posted on February 5, 2014 by ShellyBeach

Chiara sent me this on my birthday, which I enjoyed: My Dad and Donna came over and we all went to the Ladies’ game versus BG. When we got back, I got my presents, which was a jar of some … Continue reading →

Ugh, blogging.

Posted on January 5, 2014 by ShellyBeach

So it’s been 200 years since I blogged last. I attribute this to general lethargy and/or laziness. Also, I’ve been very boring lately, other than some shitty shit happening. Let’s see…where to start. I think maybe I went to some … Continue reading →

Some outside things

Posted on August 20, 2013 by ShellyBeach

I’ve accumulated several pictures of outdoors things during my blog hiatus. Here is a picture of two beautiful, healthy-looking hydrangea plants along the back of my house. They didn’t flower this year, but that’s OK. The leaves are shiny and … Continue reading →

Mouse in the House!

Posted on July 12, 2013 by ShellyBeach

Independence from the tyranny of yard rabbits

Posted on July 6, 2013 by ShellyBeach

Yard Stuff, Yawn

Posted on June 22, 2013 by ShellyBeach

So I did a little plumbing

Posted on June 21, 2013 by ShellyBeach

I have always thought the builder’s grade basic faucets in my bathrooms were gross, but I didn’t want to bother with finding a plumber (or getting “Uncle” Dan to come all the way here) to have them replaced. Additionally, since … Continue reading →

Updates

Posted on May 25, 2013 by ShellyBeach

Oh man, it’s been a grievously long time since I last provided my readers with pictures of mulch and squirrels and talk of Lady Rockets and whatnot! Two weeks! Ugh. I was working nights that whole time, basically, so cut … Continue reading →

Posted on May 10, 2013 by ShellyBeach
