I'm tired of thinking about and even writing about plumbing, so I won't. As of yesterday, it's presumably (do I sound a bit skeptical here in my cynical years?) fixed. So, an element of calm has descended upon the land.I say element of calm because that elusive peace is still to be completely captured, [...]
With every gain in life, there come some losses, as well. Tom and
I have been going through both these days and have been in a big way since Katrina.
Moving from our home of fourteen years in Slidell up here to Picayune
and into a small apartment plus storage unit and being boxed up for
over a year [...]
Hey! Have y'all missed me?!? I hope, but am so sorry for the long absence.
It's been an extremely difficult week and very hard move, but we're finally in our house, so that's good news. Still don't have internet hooked up right at home and didn't have any at all until yesterday [...]
So - what do you want to hear first? The good news or the bad news.Me
- I always like to get the bad news over with first and end with a
happy not. I'm hoping that's how my life ends, too. On a very good

Here I sit, Dee Ann Davidson O'Neil Andrews, Esq.

Speaking of technological glitches . . . we've been having trouble with our DSL line to the computer now for a day and a half. In other words - no internet or e-mail! That's why there was no interview of the week yesterday or any other word from over here at Finding Direction. But believe [...]
This is week way-too-many to count any more in our house building project and I don't feel like adding them all up today for you, so won't. The more important number of weeks now is the weeks until we are finished and can move in. That will be about 5 or 6 weeks, hopefully. By [...]
[Note: Of late, I've been posting new pictures of progress on our house each Monday, but this past week all of the work was of a nature that there are really no pictures to capture the differences. So, instead, I'm writing a post I think you'll find entertaining. It wasn't so at the time, but [...]
