I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me: June 2011

http://mrscribbler.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Thursday, June 02, 2011. Bad, bad me. As I just haven't been in the mood to write much here. It's not as though nothing's happening. I've kept relatively busy helping D. with her work, doing this and that around the house, painting my Deluxe Office - I'll be moving the computer, my books, and assorted stuff down there soon - and, on occasion, heading out for small adventures. Valentino" had good taste in places to play. When I manage to get some good images, or at le...

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me: April 2011

http://mrscribbler.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Saturday, April 30, 2011. In Sandy Bay. But we didn't soak up much of the spring sunshine. D and I spent much of the glorious, sunny afternoon indoors, getting the framing up for the Sumptuous Office Complex. To be fair, I have to say D. did the lion's (lioness's? Nonetheless, a few hours' work brought forth a pretty nifty result. The more we do, the less fits into a photo. Actually, I'm also thinking it will be good simply to have the space done up enough to use. Th...

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me: August 2012

http://mrscribbler.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Sunday, August 05, 2012. Signs that make you say "hmmmmm.". I guess this one would qualify, yes? D and I were recently in New Bedford visiting some of her family. We happened to see this while driving through town; I must say I'm glad I wasn't driving, as I probably would have run into something while digging out my camera. I don't think they were Budweisers, though. You might say I'm a believer in the Separation of Church and Beer. Or not. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me: Winter!

http://mrscribbler.blogspot.com/2012/01/winter.html

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Sunday, January 22, 2012. That's what it is around here.finally! PARENTHETICAL IT-AIN'T-TRUE-JUST-BECAUSE-IT'S-ON-THE-INTERWEBZ THOUGHT: My clever little weather gadget from The Weather Channel is. Very optimistic when it comes to temperature: our thermometer says it's 26 degrees right now, while the the little gizmo on my computer screen says it's 37. Hah! Anyway, it was a lovely (if cool) day for a walk, which took us around the Goose Cove reservoir. Out of tune. T...

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me: September 2011

http://mrscribbler.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. There was a large crowd on hand to see the B-17 "Flying Fortress" and B-24 "Liberator" heavy bombers, P-51 Mustang and Vought F-4U Corsair fighters and T-6 and Stearman (biplane) pilot trainers. Flights were offered (at budget-busting rates) as well as the inexpensive tours inside the B-17 and B-24. We opted to join the long line for the B-17 walk-through. One of the B-17's four Wright "Cyclone" engines. The bombardier and nose gunner's bay.

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me: November 2011

http://mrscribbler.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Wednesday, November 09, 2011. In fact, it has doubled in size! A couple of days ago, D. and I were out doing errands and decided to stop at a local thrift store to check out the merchandise. But on this trip, one item called out to me. Its calls were amplified by a $5.00 pricetag. I didn't haggle; I bought. I wonder if everyone recognizes this. Now that I have this, all I need to survive the Apocalypse would be a Linotype machine and a printing press. One of the little t...

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me: Sweet!

http://mrscribbler.blogspot.com/2011/12/sweet.html

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Saturday, December 17, 2011. One of the Christmas traditions here in Sandy Bay is an "open house" at Tuck's Candy Factory. Yes, that's World Famous Motif #1©. The hard candies begin with a large quantity of sugar, cut slightly with water and cream of tartar, heated to 300 degrees in a copper kettle, at which point it has become a syrupy mass. The liquid is poured onto a special table, where it begins to cool. Somehow, I was reminded of my days working with fiberglass.

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Friday, September 28, 2012. Haskins Park gets a cleaning. I blame it all on D. She is the one who originally got interested in Haskins Park, which sits on a hilltop not far from where we live. Through the local Historical Society - where she is a volunteer and board member - she has unearthed a great deal of information on the Park and its creator, Leander M. Haskins. While you can (and should) read about it here. And whence, you might ask, came the dump truck we filled?

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me: Fa la la la la...

http://mrscribbler.blogspot.com/2011/12/fa-la-la-la-la.html

I Wouldn't Read This If I Was Me. Sunday, December 04, 2011. Fa la la la la. Despite my own Grinchishness, which has traditionally kept all thoughts of the upcoming Non-secular Winter Holiday. That would be Christmas - out of my head 'til roughly December 20th, D. and I went down to Sandy Bay's chilly downtown last evening to see annual rituals performed. The sleigh and reindeer are probably belowdecks. 169; is located - somewhat problematic, but there's no doubt he just didn't have his land legs yet.
