We’ve changed our name. Hi, I’m Nancy B, owner of Nancy B's House of Lights. For 8 years we have done business as Builders Lighting, but we wanted homeowners to know that we are here for them, too. That’s because, chances are, you didn’t pick the lights in your own home. Someone else did. At Nancy B's House of Lights we want to help existing homeowners, those who never had a chance to select … [Read more...]

Testing! Testing!
Every Boomer remembers test patterns. In the early days of television, each channel (usually one or two, that’s all we got) began the day and ended broadcasting with a test pattern on the screen. Most of us didn’t know what a test pattern was, really, or its purpose. All we knew that when the test pattern finally appeared (it took the tubes a while to warm up), there was nothing on the … [Read more...]
Attract Bluebirds – Right Now!
If you want bluebirds in your backyard, don’t wait until spring to put out a box. Do it right now. If it’s an old birdhouse, make sure to clean it thoroughly. In the real estate business for birds, the “buyers” can be picky and a dirty birdhouse will send them elsewhere. Also, make sure it’s a “bluebird house”. According to the National Audubon society, it’s critical that a bluebird house have … [Read more...]
Venison Stew

I used to make this following the Bourbon and Buck Stew recipe found in the L.L. Bean Game & Fish Cookbook.

Caution: Men Cooking
I say men make the best cooks. My wife says men make the biggest messes. What a sexist she is. Fellow chefs, the time has come for men to take control of the kitchens in America and get women back in the malls where they belong. Gentlemen, start your turkey fryers. What? You have no experience cooking? A lack of experience or knowledge of a particular subject has never stopped us before. Men … [Read more...]
Rockfish – Out With a Bang
Dr. Julie Ball reports: With the New Year upon us, many anglers are reflecting on the previous year with fond memories. Rockfish anglers in particular have little to complain about, especially since the 2015 Chesapeake Bay rockfish season went out with a bang. 2015 turned out to be a very good striper year with lots of big fish making dreams come true throughout December. With daily limits … [Read more...]
Geese On The Way
Here they come! We had just dropped one goose in a pond and Greg was in the boat making the retrieve when the honking of 125 birds got our attention. Greg hunkered down in the boat while I knelt by the cattails at the edge of the pond. The geese set their wings and we let ‘em have it. Two more geese were down, and then another flock approached. But Greg and I had enough geese to pick for … [Read more...]
A Boomer Remembers Duck Tails
James Dean had captured the imagination and envy of most every young male in the mid-50s with his standout performance in Rebel Without a Cause. In the movie, also starring Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo, Dean had rolled into town, a new kid on the block and oozing coolness. He was, in fact, beyond cool. He was the epitome of everything a young teen male would like to be - confident, rebellious, … [Read more...]
