It has been quite the week for the Canham’s. We finally were able to sell our house in Chandler. We sold it to our neighbors and friends. It started off as looking as if it would be rather easy to get through the process, but then there were some hick-ups along the way. The inspector…

A First for Me at Our New Home
Last night I made dinner at our new house. That was a first. But the new thing for me is that we have a gas stove. I made a chile verde pork that I bought at the grocery store. It went well. I didn’t burn anything which was nice. I will get years of learning…
Something I Won’t Miss
As you all know I am moving. And I am going to miss a lot of things about living in Arizona. But here is one thing I will not miss: Owning a pool. I have had two jouses with pools, and while they were fine a lot of the time. They always took so much…

More Repairs
Seriously what is going on. In the last couple weeks things have been busy. Ok, things are always busy right now, but busier than normal because I have had more repairs to do. Remember that lawn mower I talked about a little bit ago? Well, I thought I had it fixed, but nope. It lasted…
Wait – more repairs?
Why, yes, I had to do more repairs over the last few days. First is our standup freezer. A couple weeks ago it gave me an alert that it was at a high temp. So, I tried to figure out what was going on. I really hoped it wasn’t going bad since it has a…
