Kids are out from school today. Even though we homeschool, we stick to a regular “school” schedule. So my kids get summers off (and I do, too!). We work on projects during this time– gardening, home remodeling, etc. I haven’t started any projects yet, due to lack of funds and time. I’m REALLY hoping I [...]

I really liked the cowboys and Indians (I was always an Indian!) and I remember liking to dress up as Laura Ingalls Wilder, [...]

I missed the last two MM, one on purpose (didn’t like the questions) and then on accident (it was Wednesday before I realized it had been Monday and Tuesday). I figured if I didn’t do today’s, I’d lose my momentum and get lost in the Manic Monday Time Warped Black Hole and never do it [...]

My husband works for the Postal Service sometimes. So I got a great big kick out of this goofy photo. /p> I hate it when those packing peanuts spill out of the shipping box! Woe to the person who has to pick all that up, lol! Hat tip Slacker Heaven for the photo. Other Stuff [...]
