Thank you for granting my request!

June 28, 2007

“Your wish is my command!” thundered the Weather Genie. (He must have read my blog today.)
It seems that I’ve been focusing a lot on the weather lately. Well, I’ll just go with it.
The clouds gathered ominously throughout the afternoon, and finally let loose with a magnificent thunderstorm around 5:30. It cooled everything off nicely. Ah, [...]

Air-date for our house on HGTV

June 28, 2007

I just now received a phone-call from the producer of the HGTV show, “What’s Up with THAT House?” telling me the air-date of the episode featuring our Bisbee “Knick-knack House”!
It will be on Wednesday, August 22, 2007 at 11:30 pm (Eastern and Pacific time) and at 10:30 pm Central time.
I’m so excited! I hope that [...]

Monsoon season, please come SOON!

June 28, 2007

Since I’ve switched to this new blog, it seems that I’m getting a lot less traffic.
Perhaps my life is not as interesting now that I’m not focusing on Bisbee.
There are a few commenters from the old blog who are now leaving comments on this one, which I greatly appreciate. I do hope that [...]

HOT!!!

June 27, 2007

It has been blazing hot in Bisbee these past three days. Fortunately, Caroline left before the heat cranked up full-blast.
This was the kind of weather I had warned her about before she arrived, so we were all pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn’t that bad while she was here. But the temperature has shot [...]

Aftermath

June 25, 2007

I’ve just about caught up on my sleep after Caroline’s visit.
We certainly put out a lot of energy over those five magical days, and I partied more than usual.
Yesterday was spent mostly resting, with a few short sessions of horn practice. It’s amazing how quickly the lip muscles weaken when I take a few days [...]

Wonderful Visit

June 24, 2007

James and I drove Caroline to the Tucson Airport yesterday noon, putting her on a plane for LA for her final phase of her American visit.
I cannot adequately describe the fun and joy we experienced during her whirlwind 5-day stay in Bisbee!
I’m sitting here trying to remember everything we did, but it is all [...]

What a Delight!

June 19, 2007

Caroline is here and we’re having a wonderful time.
She’s even more lovely in person; she radiates such love and positive energy. James and I felt comfortable with her right away, and we’ve been chatting and laughing nonstop from the moment she trundled down the gate with her “pink and fluffy” suitcases.
Pink and fluffy is Caroline’s [...]

A new blog, a new guise, a new phase of life

June 18, 2007

So here I am in yet another blog incarnation! (This is my FOURTH life.)
Right now I’m feeling like a master of disguise, a shape-shifter, constantly changing my spots and coloration to keep one step ahead of the Small Town Thought Police.
I could have continued to write in my previous blog, really, but this whole tiny-town-gossip-thing [...]
