13 Pictures of Española
Anybody know how to get the little curvy Spanish thing over the n? We sailed over night from Santa Cruz to Española. Talk about a bumpy ride! We were only just getting used to the motion of the boat, and didn’t sleep well. But it was worth it when we arrived. 1. We started the day at Suarez Point where we snorkeled and hung out on a beach with sea lions.

13 Steps to a Purchase from Lowe’s
We bought a fixer-upper recently, and have to do a lot of work to make it habitable. So naturally I’m down at the lumber yard a lot. I go to Lowe’s most of the time because they are reasonably priced (mostly) and don’t look down on me for wandering the aisles in my skirt and clogs. This is my most recent experience. 1. Movers can get a special discount from Lowe’s – 10% off. It’s good for up to a […]
13 From the Mailbox
On Monday’s and sometimes Wednesdays I post stuff people have forwarded to me in email. I know, like you haven’t already seen it. In a few weeks, that will probably change as I make some adjustments to my lineup. Anyway, this is from one of those emails.
13 Books on my TBR Pile
Heather expressed concern that I might not have enough reading material just because I’m actually re-reading a book. I’ll admit it isn’t something I make a habit of, but I think this will show that I do have some choice here: For more lists of Thirteen, visit Thursday Thirteen
13 Steps in Buying a House.
1. Figure out whether or not you can afford to buy a house, and if so, what kind. A quick and dirty method is to compare how much you are likely to have to pay in mortgage, property tax, and homeowner’s insurance with how much you are paying in rent right now. If they come out close, and you don’t intend to move in the next ten years, it’s a no-brainer. Buy a house. You can get most of this […]

Heather posted her last Art Zoobalie picture recently, and got me to thinking I’d never shared the picture I took. So, here they are. 🙂
13 Electrical Cords
A while back my daughter suggested a number of topics for Thursday Thirteen lists. One of them was electrical cords. She had Mr. Al in mind when she said it, but I’m lazy, so I’m going the much easier route of listing my own electrical cords. These are all plugged into my computer. 1. The power cord 2. The cord to the monitor 3. The one to the cable service/ISP 4. The one to the printer 5. The one to […]
