Alas Poor Monitor I Knew You Well…
Wednesday Philomena finally gave up and quit! She was a Ten year old Phillips SVGA monitor I clung stubbornly to as others moved to LCD. I promised Jack I would upgrade when she gave out each time he mentioned buying a new monitor. He mentioned it often as Phil turned that sickly color yellow that all old computer plastics do. Well the time came. Bye-Bye Sweet Love! Clearing the Deck Inspecting the Wall Mount We had the wall mount on another wall and it had to be removed, Annika...
Read MoreNathan Braces Off!
Monday Nate got his braces off. To toot his horn a bit… he was released an entire year early because of great hygiene and the use of a new kind of appliance called Damon Braces. Dillon had them too and he was released 6 months early. Nathan’s work was more extensive than Dillon’s so the both did very well! We are relieved its all over except for the retaining phase and we LUB and highly recommend our Orthodontists Dr. Penny and Dr. Hall of Weatherford, TX. I couldn’t find a complaint...
Read MoreJack Fixed Lights! WHOOT!
The light in the laundry room has not worked in over a year. It just went out one day and since the roof leaked in that area we attributed it to that. We fixed that section of roof and Jack got ready to fix the light in there on Sunday. Jack got the “bright” idea to switch the old light fixture in the kitchen with a new light we have been oogling and use the old kitchen light fixture in the Laundry Room…which is no longer the laundry room since we moved those appliances …Tool Room? I...
Read MorePie Treat!
Treated myself to an apple pie at that fast food joint we all know. A reward for not being a big baby and stopping the whole Squirrel Dome Clearing on Saturday when I got tired and wanted to quit. I could have easily done it and my men would have carried me like a football HERO to the house, but alas the punishment continued until it was all cleared. In case you are wondering There is no such thing as bad pie! Okay that is not true. Sugar-free Blueberry pie ( saccharin) with...
Read MoreSquirrel Dome: Clearing
Last weekend was GLORIOUS weather here! A fluke! Nearly 55 degrees, sunny, light winds. We went to work clearing a spot in my wildflower garden. A loose term. I really is a corner of the property that I mowed once and baby rabbits came flying out and my heart nearly stopped as I checked to see if I had hit one. Nope! They are little blisters of speed, luckily! So I let it go wild and flowers grew. I dubbed it my wild flower garden and Jack called it something else. Something like a fire...

My Hero, Ben Franklin would be 306 years old today. His advice is as sound today as it was in the days he wrote it. Maybe you know some of these? But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. Eat to live, and not live to eat. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Lie down with Dogs, rise up with Fleas. God helps them that help themselves. A penny saved is a penny earned. Little strokes, Fell great oaks. An ounce of prevention...

They had to hunt for clues and follow hints to find their presents. I was not suppose to say anything just follow them around with the video camera, but I you can probably...
