  • Getting off the couch

     I had no idea ya’ll were so much fun!

     Our 46-year-old house in Florence, Ala., has been a great house, and we’ve really enjoyed living there. It’s got a lot of space, a sunroom where we can watch the birds, rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks, lots of trees and bulb-filled flower beds.

    But like any older house, it has its share of little flaws and idiosyncrasies.

  • Weddings and real life

     I don’t like weddings much, even though I’ve had three of them. They’re usually high-stress times geared as much for the bride and groom’s relatives as for the happy couple.
