And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up,
And go racin' in the streets"

You won't find your precious answers now
by staying in one place"

They're living and breathing"

Grab a hold of my hand

Together, our lives are just one passing minute
It could be gold, if we make it"

Let's take this time to let it show
'cause these are ours.

I saw so many places, the things that I did"

All we have, all we have is

All we have, all we have is time"

Please Bring Spring!!

 


2/23 - Well, it looks like this little moocher will be hanging around with us a little while longer.  Unfortunately, Darla's mom lost her job just after moving down to Florida, so she's having to start over down there, and we told her it was no problem for sweet cheeks to stay with us a long as necessary and at no cost.  


Happy Birthday, old girl!  You're still a dandy!! 

[ Work travel for me and Ashlee ate up a good part of late February and early March which was OK since we didn't have any big plans for this time of year anyway.]


Sunday, March 1 - We did get a lot of early spring clean-up and work done around the house this weekend as we both prepared to travel next week.  We happened upon this awesome outdoor storage box at Home Depot today at a very reasonable price.  It fits all six of our cushions for the patio table chairs and all the sofa cushions!!  What a great addition to our backyard oasis! 


We also spent the weekend enjoying this six-pack of giant doughnuts I brought back from Auntie Ruth's in Johnson City where I was for work this past week.  Ashlee had discovered their fame on Tik Tok and sent me on the hunt for them, and they happened to be just right across the street from ETSU where I was working!  They are "sourdough doughnuts" and I am not sure that's why they were still so delicious or why they stayed so moist and fresh even after the long trip and time inside the box.  I sure won't come back from JC without some of them ever again!
