It’s been a year now and I’ve given up on him ever getting to it so I just got out the old tape measure and went for it. (With the urging and initial help from Sis) And now all I have to do is paint. Got the paint, or rather stain, for the outside of [...]

Me’n the dogs went to town today to visit the beauty parlor. Here we are at home again neatly washed, clipped and pretty again. I think Jack is the winner, tho. Too bad he won’t stay so pretty and white for more than the time it takes him to get back down to his favorite [...]

Since I mowed these guys down with the lawnmower this afternoon I figured I may as well add them to tonight’s spaghetti sauce. The rain and sudden warm spell has made it a good year for morels. And nobody got around to raking the leaves last fall and I think they like that, too, even [...]

Sister Rosy showed up with Calamity Jane, a retired breeder Pomeranian (Thank goodness for spell checker!). She’s two years old, if I remember correctly, and Rosy took her to the ‘beauty parlor’ and got her a butch. Well, she’s cute even with short hair so I guess it doesnt matter but all her red is [...]

Sorta. I finished the weaving projects for the lady’s book but I still have to write up the project. And I finished my final for the painting class but now I see that big black hole in the tree is right smack dab in the center of things. A no-no in composition. It wasn’t suppose [...]
