Hurricane Hanna is coming!

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Sort of. It’s supposed to head up the Atlantic seaboard and reach Maryland Saturday a.m. The Delmarva Peninsula is more than 100 miles east of here. We’re supposed to be in the heavy rain and gusty winds band of weather. If this pattern holds, we’ll make out better than we did when Isabel came […]

I love elephants

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

The usual kind. They’re smart- scary smart! And they really do never forget! One of my “causes” is an Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. They keep several elephants happily munching on grass in the sunshine- their lonely zoo days or hard work at the circus behind them.

  The Elephant Poem
Elephants are lovely […]

I’m excited….

Friday, August 29th, 2008

a MOM, a wife, a mother of five, middle-class, working, pro-Life, conservative, hunting, fishing, hoop shooting American woman is now running for Vice President! Sarah Palin is more like my sisters, my cousins, my daughter and my best girlfriends than anyone seeking high office in my lifetime. And it’s about time.
Oh yeah, two days ago […]

What day is this?

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Oh yeah, Wednesday. Labor Day weekend is coming up.
Kudzu (a haiku)
Indestructible
Green creeping vine of the South
Covering the Earth
Not to labor the point, but that stuff is wild! I was in Alabama some years back and saw so much of it had to ask somebody, “what is that green stuff everywhere?” A “gift” from a far […]

Summer is fading….

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

It’s not as hot as it used to be. The garden is petering out. There are great little pumpkins laying on the ground all over the place. I’d take a picture, but the weeds make it a bit embarassing right now. I’m determined that I’ll actually get the garden plots prepared for next year sometime […]

Gimme Shelter

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Hi gang- Along with looking at TMZ and seeing what the celebrities are wearing, reading my latest mystery (it’s good- tell you about it soon), and all my other usual pursuits, I am VERY concerned about what’s happening in Georgia. Did you know that there are US military advisers over there? Georgia has been a […]

“…A message came back from the Great Beyond,
There’s fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on”
-Mr. Springsteen, 1992
Sometimes technology doesn’t impress me much. I may have mentioned that we get broadcast TV. We’ve had cable at various times. Great to have more choices of infomercials! I guess we got rid of it altogether after Duchess left for college. […]

Wednesday Warrior….

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Found out my favorite warrior queen, Ruslana, has a new song and video. “Moon of Dreams” from her album “Amazonka”- gee I wonder what that means? It’s pretty neat- reminds me of one of Boris Vallejo’s paintings! She also recorded this one in English with the rapper T-Pain, so I know that the chorus goes […]

Popeil Home Geiger Counter….

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

I’m known far and wide for “Chicken Licken” tendencies- if there’s DOOM to be reported, I’ll do it! So in the news today comes a warning about granite counter tops. It seems a lady was preparing to sell her house and had a home inspection, which detected abnormally high levels of radon. The source turned […]

As the Economy sinks into the Sunset….

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Watch for falling stockbrokers! Mr. President, Senators and other phony-baloney politicians- y’all better fix this thing soon!
Sunday, Pyrate and I went to lunch in Frederick in honor of his 58th birthday. mmm- meat loaf! Then we took a turn around the mall to walk off the calories. There were people there, but I think a […]
