If I ever meet the inventor of the toilet paper holder, I'm gonna punch him or her right in the nose. I can't carry tune, I can't whistle with my fingers, and, I can't drive a nail. All three of those are genuine and absolute talents and the tricky toilet paper holder today proved the icing on the cake.

| Mr. Fixit @ Work |
The trouble, or the blessings depending how you look at it, began when we moved into a new, old house (1975.) We got it for a pretty sweet song so we put our efforts into updates. It's funny how a 'mid-century' house, as it's called, can be outdated down to the little things,,, like toilet paper holders.
Experts handled the important stuff for us, but I figured that surely I could handle a few little chores, like the toilet paper holder.😞😞

| The Finished Product |
Well first, I couldn't. Then, I could. And then, I did. I installed a toilet paper holder. I gathered a big assortment of tools but as it turned out, all I needed was a level and a screwdriver. I installed a toilet paper holder!!

| The Ranch Water Well |
The BIG FREEZE did affect our ranch well house. The good news is, it's not used for anything important. The bad news is, I still gotta cobble something together to get water to the flora and fauna in the area that we call The People's Place. The really bad news is, the flora and fauna may die.

| Baking Experiment |
I've written many times about how much I like to eat. I've included many stories about how much I like to cook. As part of our renovations at our new, but old home, we updated our kitchen. So, I thought I'd tackle baking. How hard can it be? Take my word for it, it's not only hard, it's also super time consuming.
One Sunday afternoon, Teresa and I got some yeast, a lot of bread flour and other stuff. We set out at noon to make 'Old Fashioned Yeast Cafeteria Rolls.". By 5:00, we had overcooked 'Old Fashioned Yeast Cafeteria Rolls.' My new note to self is; Store bought baked goods are worth every penny.

Our new, old house is a big change from 10-years of living in the country. We definitely went bigger because we hope little grand children will visit. We also went back in time by about 40-years. The included photo is our master bathroom area. The painter even said, "Oh my."
Bill Robertson (3/3/21,) The toilet paper holder works great, the water well's not worth losing sleep over and we like 1975ish. I still can't whistle. If you'd like to read about 150 of my other blogs check out; https://billrobertsonsblog.blogspot.com/
