Love my crazy life
Is it just me or does everyone get tired of trying to figure out what’s for supper every night of the week? Why is it such a daunting task? Sometimes I think to myself, do we really need to eat? I mean I have at least two weeks stored up around my...

Bob, our cat, is a horrible influence on Duke. Besides taunting him and getting him in trouble, he has introduced him to the “water fountain” in the bathroom. So now instead of fighting with the kids over bathroom time, I fight with the cat and...

I took advantage of the weather Monday, and sat out on the porch with my computer. I sat my computer on an old cast iron stove frame that I normally use as a plant stand. I wish I could find an outdoor table that is about desk height, but small...
Rehab or Rebuild
On Feb. 20, Nuckolls County Commissioners met with the public twice, once after the regular meeting and again in the evening, to answer questions concerning the rehab of the current building or the possibility of a new building. A handful of folks...

Monday was such a nice day that I walked down to the office to check the drop box instead of driving. I’m not loving my crazy life here lately. I’ve been gloomy and negative so often that George has started calling me Eeyore, you know the gloomy...

Last week was full of appointments, On Tuesday I took Mom to the dentist, on Wednesday I took myself to the doctor, and on Friday George had appointments at the VA. On the way to the dentist on Tuesday, I got to know the little car better. It’s...

I’m having trouble with words today. If I was speaking out loud, I would sound like a bumbling idiot. Words are hard! LOL! The good news is I got a car. We got something with four wheels that goes zoom. It wouldn’t have been something I would...
Commissioners hold Town Hall to discuss courthouse
This week’s commissioners’ meeting was anything but business as usual as the commissioners held a public forum to discuss the possibility of a new courthouse with their constituents. Around 20 individuals attended the meeting, all having many...

What a crummy week I’ve had. It all started last Wednesday after picking up my deliveries. A mile and a half south of Nelson, my car broke down. Our family car has never given us any problems, never even a check engine light, so it was a big...

Now that it’s warmed up just a bit, Duke is enjoying the snow. I’m surprised he doesn’t have tunnels burrowed in the backyard, as sometimes all I see of him is his rear end sticking up out of the snow drifts. Unfortunately, he doesn’t stay...
Love my crazy life
Last Wednesday, while I was making my paper deliveries, I slipped and fell. Falling on ice is so weird, one second you are upright, walking, minding your own business, and the next you’re on the ground looking at the sky. I thought I had broken my...

We got a ton of the heavy, wet, fluffy, white stuff yesterday morning. I’m not sure how much though. I scooped about three inches off the sidewalk around 11 a.m., and a couple more filled in its place, so my best guess was about five inches....

Welcome 2024. Christmas at the Bruce house went well. Christmas Day George and I opened our gifts before going to Mom’s house. The gift George worked so diligently on was a keepsake box. He used a wood burner to engrave the inside bottom with the...

Mark it on your calendar, 120 days from Dec. 21, because we should get one heck of a storm. I had to drive to Lincoln and back in that fog on Thursday. The morning part of the drive wasn’t bad at all. I left around eight so I would be able to do a...

At what age did you realize you were becoming your grandmother? For me, it was 45. I own and use a shower cap, I have a handled brush in the shower to wash my back, I keep a back scratcher beside the bed, I have 20 pill bottles on the counter, I...

I have recently become aware of just how many of you read my ramblings! Thank you! Sorry if I worried anyone with my boo hooing. I really am all right, just frustrated with my body and brain. I am feeling better, the shakiness is starting to go...

Duke found his voice! I’ve heard him bark, playfully, but he is not typically a vocal pup. My friend, Linda, popped in the other day. Like always, she walked on in. I knew she was there, I heard the door, but it caught Duke off guard. When he barke...

Oh my gosh! The last week has been rough! I told you I had depression and fibromyalgia. Well, I started treatment for depression a couple of weeks ago. It was great at first, I had so much energy, I was waking up in the morning feeling rested, and I...

I need to rant just a bit. I was reading Senator Ricketts weekly column and it brought up a lot of irritation I have with our government. Where in the world do we get all this money we spend on foreign aid? I thought we were broke and in the hole...

It’s been a fairly uneventful week, and I am thankful it was. This little visit from Old Man Winter has me feeling all crummy, achy, stiff and sore. I wish the Nebraska weather would just pick a season and stick with it for a while. A tropical...

I woke up at five this morning. For most folks that’s a normal day, but for me, well let’s just say it doesn’t happen often. Duke had squeezed his way under our bed and was stuck, so I helped him get unstuck and took him out to potty. He did...
Halloween is upon us!
By T Looking for things to do nearby this spooky season, I found a few and thoughts I would share. If you’re into haunted houses, but don’t want to travel to the big city, the Chester Community Club puts together a creepy, spooky and fun event. T...

Duke is doing well after staying the better part of last week with the vet. We took him, along with the “thick” credit card last Tuesday. He came home on Friday and is now the happy bouncy puppy I was hoping for. He chews or tries to chew on...
Nuckolls County Courthouse, Landmark or Lemon?
When I think of Nelson, two landmarks come to mind, the mansion on the hill and the courthouse. Both of which are in need of some love. The courthouse stands tall on the hill, dwarfing everything around it. The 133-year-old building is a beautiful la...
