Before and After

On February 12, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard20 Comments

The other day I found the photos of our bathroom remodel of 2003. One of the things we did was to have a sliding door put in the wall between our room and the bathroom. And, no, we did not do this by ourselves. It was actually done by a friend who knows how to …

A Look Out the Window

On February 6, 2021March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard15 Comments

"So, what's out there?" Panda's question put an end to my reverie. I had been so absorbed in looking at the back yard that I'd forgotten all about him. "Well," I responded. "It's looking pretty good out there. I think it might almost be spring." "Oh, does this mean the groundhog did or didn't see …

The Front Room

On September 27, 2020March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard11 Comments

You might remember... That ever since I was little, I have helped Mom paint. The first thing she painted after I came to live with her was the "Talavera Kitchen". That was when I discovered my natural artistic talent. It was also when I discovered the step stool, which enabled me to get into the …

The Rest is History

On August 2, 2020March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard11 Comments

"Dude, have you seen Mom's desk lately?" Foster's words woke me up from a sound sleep. We were in the front living room, where we had been helping Mom go through some family history information earlier in the day. "Not recently," I replied. "I can't see the top of the desk unless somebody puts me …

Consider the Lilies

On April 24, 2020May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard9 Comments

"Consider the lilies of the field..." Or, in my case, the succulents of the back yard! The message of these words, as most of you know, is that we should trust God to take care of us, and not stress over the future. I realize that in the day we are living in, that may …

Whimsical Garden Update

On March 26, 2020March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard17 Comments

Since it was so pretty outside today... I decided to go walk around in my "whimsical" back yard. This time I thought it would be fun not only to share the garden's progress with you, but also to try and get photos from perspectives I may not have considered before.So I got some close-ups. You …

The Elephant in the Room

On March 19, 2020March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard6 Comments

Once there was a guest room... And because there were grandchildren, there were bunk beds.And because there was a cat, there was always someone to get up on the top bunk when the grandchildren weren't over. But then a queen size bed was added to the guest room. This did pose a few challenges, not …

A Sticky Situation

On August 19, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard9 Comments

Or maybe I mean "A Sticker-y Situation"... Because while cactus thorns can stick you I guess they aren't technically stick-y. But anyway. We can do an English lesson on that another day. Right now I'm just worried about whether to say "cactus" or "cacti" or even "cactuses" while writing this post.In "Here is Yard Art", …

Sago Saga Part 1

On August 13, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard10 Comments

First let me say... I did not purchase the above plant. I took the picture merely to show the price, which you really can't see after all. But it was something like $79.99.Suffice it to say, I have my own. I actually think it originally came from Grandma Tracy's house, and it seems like it's …

Here is Yard Art

On July 15, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard12 Comments

So on Pinterest  you can find all these ideas... And if you're in "Whimsical Mode" and into mosaics, you will probably want to try some of those ideas yourself. Especially if you're trying to make your backyard drought-resistant and just a tiny bit bohemian (read: "eccentric" if you must).This is from September of last year, but …
