I’ve been spending a lot of time in the past few weeks contemplating how I was going to get my things moved out of the McMansion with no help in sight. You see, my stuff is on the 3rd floor and there are no stairs. No stairs inside or outside. No sign of any coming […]

” Live like someone left the gate open.” My friend Terri left that comment on my last blog post. I can’t get it out of my head. That is the perfect answer to the eternal question about the divorce. “What’s your plan?” My plan is this …… I don’t have one. My plan is no plan. […]

Ever since T.H. texted me that it was “curtains” for us, I started gathering up and organizing my “stuff”. My most precious possessions. I took inventory and I pondered… “This must be what it feels like to be part of a Traveling Circus”. My most precious possessions include 3 dogs, 3 horses, a pony, […]

My precious daughter, only child, came to visit this week to help me “lighten the load”. We’ve talked and laughed and cried so much. We are going through “Our Stuff”. Literally. Her stuff. My Stuff. Our stuff. We have a lot of “Stuff”. She made a casual observation to me this week. She asked […]

My friend MaryAnne over at the fabulous blog Forever 51 recently wrote about having “The Talk” with her aging parents. Not the one about ..uh …… hanky panky …. but the one about finances.

Since receiving our pink slip from T.H., I decided it was best to move Playboy and Blitz over to my temporary home while we wait for our severance pay. The neighbor’s ranch where I’m living has a nice barn and stalls. I hauled some hay and got them settled. (sort of) I was all singing […]

Last fall, in preparation for the Big Red Neck Renovation I packed up and got rid of dozens of boxes of clothes, and stuff. Even if I do lose weight I don’t like most of it anyway. I moved over here to the cabin and set up house with a few of my […]

Since the “Blizzard of Oz” I look at thinks in terms of B.B. and A.B. Before Blizzard and After Blizzard. This blog post is in the B.B. category. Definitely B.B. I was working on it with the “B” hit. During the “B” I was busy looking for my pony so I didn’t finish it …. until […]

Little white dogs and ponies are not cut out for blizzards. We got smacked with two “record-breaking” (for Kansas) snow storms in one 5 day period. It was called the “Blizzard of Oz 2013”. For three of those days I was unable to get to the ranch to check on my horses. I thought I […]
