Bisy Backson

It has been a week and a week full of activity and yet no posts. I blame this on stress and frustration. Last week was not my best ever. I am starting to pull myself together. Work has taken on some new directions, and some problems that I sought to solve have yet to find resolution. This is frustrating.


On the personal side, last week we came home from a nice visit to Vero Beach, and had a good friend in town for a few days. She and her two daughters stayed over, and the kids loved having company. This last weekend was fun and mellow. We went to the mall to run some errands and the boys got to play at the swamp play area. They had not been there in quite a while. This means we haven't been to the mall in awhile and that is mostly a good thing. I got some new running shoes. Now to find time to run.

We also took the kids to see the new Winnie the Pooh movie. It was short and sweet. It was really just like the old movies that I used to watch in elementary school. More of a show than a movie.


I made kombucha and bread and put up a shelf that I have been meaning to get to. Virginia made a tasty soup from some leftover chicken from a dinner party that we hosted earlier in the week.


We are making plans for a yard sale, and a road trip to Birmingham to visit Chip and Mer at their new house.

Escape Plan

Getting ready for a three day weekend down in Vero Beach. We have a friend and kids staying at the house while we are gone, and a few days when we get back. Too bad it looks like a big storm will be overhead during the trip. Maybe we can make a trip to the beach or a pool or something. Definitely seeing V's family, and trying to keep little hands from breaking collectables. It should be relaxed, and it always feels good to get away a bit. I am sure that there will be photo posts.

Last night made yogurt, ice cream and popsicles. Trying to find ways to preserve raw milk. Hoping the milk I used hadn't gone bad.

My boss is running around on unfiltered facebook adrenalin. We are making a plan but in this crazy fits and bursts way. I have a few things going on and feeling a bit on the stressed side.
