Which was a big holiday for the Clampetts on the Beverly Hillbillies! I went bargin’ hunting again. My big score was a 6 qt Revere Ware Dutch Oven for $2.71! I used to have a 4 qt., but once I left it on the stove too long and turned the bottom into scary ash! After [...]
A few days ago I took a picture of the poppy pods shooting up in the garden. They’ve decided to give a show, so I snapped another picture of them. We didn’t have these in California- I think they like cold winters…
Then since we were outside I took pictures of the doggies. You’ll notice they [...]
Once when my daughter was about 2 1/2, I was standing in the kitchen tearing up spinach for a salad. The Little One got very distraught and in a very loud little kid voice said, “MAMA, PEOPLE AREN’T SUPPOSED TO EAT LEAVES!!!!” Normally, no. Unless it’s lettuce.
Anyhow, we have a row of golden ball turnips [...]
I guess they aren’t all LALAs out there. Arnold wanted more taxpayer’s money to make up the deficit and a loud majority told their legislators to get stuffed. Now they have to do what we all do when we’re short money- cut back on things.
Maybe when they cut the programs, California will cease to be [...]
Which is the title of an album by Steely Dan. I take it to mean when your thoughts run round and round, twist and turn, and don’t come up with any conclusions.
I just did pretzel logic shopping. I was putting laundry away and realized I had some underpinnings which had reached the truly funky stage. [...]
This is an inspirational story that was making the rounds years ago- in the very early days of AOL. Oddly enough, I had the worst time finding it! Found it on the website of the John Mark Ministries down in Melbourne, Au (thank you!)No idea who wrote it, but it gives everyone things to think [...]
The Political Kind!
Last year, the Powers that Be of Maryland decided they needed more money for the budget.
Hmmmm, how to get it? Gambling? Yes, but nobody wants it in their neighborhood! Raise taxes on cigarettes and booze? That always works. I saw a pack of Marlboros selling for over $8!
” I know, let’s raise [...]
A short one. I promise….
When you have some online shopping to do, stop by and visit www.igive.com.
It’s a “click through” link for online shopping. Many retailers, large national chains, as well as small specialty shops give donations to charity when you purchase items from stores you accessed through the Igive links. I’ve used Igive for [...]
Hey, we got a new lawn tractor! It’s a big deal for us. Firstly, Faithful Ford our other tractor is getting undependable and cuts out in odd places. We bought him when Duchess was six years old and I guess he needs some rest. Secondly, using a push mower, even a self-propelled one on [...]
I had to do the weekly marketing today so I decided to see what was new over at the Goodwill. They get some good stuff over there! Non HD televisions, answering machines (kind of obsolete now that phones have built in digital answerers), way too many knick knacks and a whole bunch of clothes, but [...]
