Firing up the Blog again

Been a thought floating around in my head for probably the last few years if I was being honest about it. Life happens and I never go out and find the time to do it - until today. So rather than trying to catch up whatever has happened between our last post and today I'll just ramble on and add whatever comes to mind!! We have lived here at Poverty Acres for coming on six years.  In fact, six years ago we had just moved into the shop - Cooper was in school and Chloe was working full time. In the blink of an eye we have no kids in school and we are in the early pla

Poverty Acres….and in the beginning

Well it was time to sit down to the desk top computer and dust off my writing skills to update my blog...actually it was brought to my attention that I've really dropped the ball on blogging so out of guilt here I am - hhahahaha. Now its been 8 months since I last wrote - phew lots has been going on.  It seems my life is never really dull - I mean I have moments of quietness but then something arises and we see some action!  So back in November what the hell was I doing?? Oh yes we were planning a new house build - which we are 100 days into our build. Here is a p

Damn lights!

So I just shocked myself - you know stuck my finger in a light socket - yah I'm not all there. It's one of those moments in time where I figure I can do it all and why wait for my husband to come home. We have a very tall ceiling in our foyer area - and 2 of the 5 light bulbs are burnt out - and have been for quite some time. Lazy some may say but I've procrastinated changing them - first I needed to buy 5 replacement bulbs - because if I'm changing two I may as well change them all to make sure I don't have to crawl up the ladder again anytime soon - and well I'm hoping t

Saying goodbye…

OK so my posts have been rather light and humourous...or at least for me they have been.  Thought I'd jump into deeper waters today and have a serious post on saying goodbye. In my short life (oh yes I said it SHORT - meaning I'm not old) I've had a few people pass away that I never had a chance to say goodbye. By that I mean to have a conversation with them that would allow me the chance to tell them how I felt, how they impacted my life and so on.  Probably it's me maturing and realizing what these people meant to me and in fact it was several years after the fact that i

So I was in a Public Washroom…

and it hit me what my topic was going to be when I could find time to sit and blog. Now I know we've all been in the public washroom a time or two in our life - they've looked pretty much the same - some a little fancier than others....and yes some a little more questionable that others. Those are usually the ones you ask yourself "Can I hold this" and if not "Can I hover (women only) long enough to get the job done"? Men, listen up, this is usually where we wish we could pee standing up and we curse you all for being able to pee wherever....well OK maybe you CAN'T pee int
