  • 2008 misc

    What a difference a day makes…it rained all night and is continuing to lightly rain with more expected.  If this were one of those years that produced a dry winter, the rain would be welcome…but COME ON.  At the very least, I should be thankful it is 60 degrees this morning and not setting record… Read more

  • 2008

    I’m really thinking that the weather today could not be any better.  “He” and I worked in the yard for awhile until ours arms hurt and the small of my back hurt…the sky is blue, the sun is warm and there is a light breeze.  Marley and Sierra were out running – actually running from… Read more

  • Fishing with Tom and Rhonda

         We had a great time in Missouri..didn’t catch any fish and actually the boys didn’t try that hard.  We just relaxed, enjoyed the sun and hung out.  Saturday afternoon drove about an hour west and south of Lebanon (which puts us nearly in Branson) to eat at Lamberts – the “throwed roll” restaurant. … Read more

  • STOP RAINING!!!!!!!!  Leaving in the morning for Bennett Spring.  Took the guy and dolls to the critter sitter..I actually think they were just fine with it.  Kim was at the door when we let them out of the truck and they made a b-line up the steps and back to the kennels where they proceeded… Read more

Rigoberto Castro Hurtado appeared in court… Read more

  • What are we doing to the kids?

    I don’t even know where to begin…my brain is so wrapped around the what goes around comes around mentality when raising our kids.  Oh…there are some who break the cycle and there are so many extremes to the problem.  On the one end, my mother, with a narcissistic personality disorder, raised me to be a… Read more

  • Snowed today…imagine that..I’m starting to get a real “tude” about this winter thing.  Streeets were slick because the temp was about 30-31..all of the grassy areas were covered but it all melted this afternoon…now we have standing water in the ditches…the roads are just horrible.  There are frost boils on 3 sections of gravel that… Read more

  • Cab Drivers

    To preface the upcoming rant, let me explain that I smoked cigarettes from somewhere around 20 years old off and on until I was 43 years, 5 months and 7 days…on August 16, 1999, I officially became a self-righteous x smoker.  I hate to be around smokers, I hate the smell, I hate that they… Read more

  • Abduction ends in PC
