I bought a garden hose this weekend and a mobile hose winder-upper. The only reason I bought a hose is to spray off the dirty lawn furniture we bought from the previous owners. I suppose I may have to water the lawn in the summer, too. Not sure if the lawn service does that or not. I guess I’ll find […]
We finally got to really enjoy our backyard last weekend. We had neighbors over and enjoyed the calm South Central air and light breezes from the east as the sun set to the west. Benefits of suburban living are becoming more clear.
Yes, it’s been over a month since my last posting. I don’t care. Yes, my postings are short and sweet. That’s how I like them. Thanks for reading my blog. Much appreciated. I am questioning the purpose of this blog since I am slowly but surely transitioning to life in South Central. It’s a wonderful community, with good neighbors, good […]
Last night I decided to invite a few friends to South Central to enjoy a cult classic movie, The Warriors. It looks like I’ll need a better draw next time to get people from their comfort zones in the city. But for the people who attended, we now have more appreciators of the 1979 New York City gang film.
Our pug dog, Bruce, refuses to go to do his business in the back yard. So the benefit of not having to walk him as much has evaporated.
We were invited to dinner tonight to one of our neighbors. We had to decline since we are going to a concert. “Oh, what concert are you going to?” My wife replies, “You’re not going to believe this, but we are going to see Snoop Dogg.” The neighbor replies, “My husband LOVES Snoop Dogg!” Maybe we’re in for a few […]
Two sets of neighbors brought us over cookies, sweets and other goodies. One family gave us a homemade welcome card on orange construction paper. We hear that there is a map of the neighborhood complete with addresses, phone numbers and names (adults, children and pets).
So I’m out there shoveling my driveway for the first time since my Dad made me do it more than 15 years ago. I’m thinking, “this is great exercise.” But I got winded fast. And then a voice from the distance called out to me. It was my new neighbor who knew my name somehow. We greeted each other and […]
It recently occurred to me that for the first time in my life, I live within an area of the United States that is not considered a city. I grew up on the west side of Youngstown, Ohio. City limits; city schools. I then moved to the college town of Athens, Ohio, where students and locals mixed it up on […]
We have a few tricky steps in our new house. We had none in the condo. One step in particular led to my mom’s broken wrist. OUCH.
