Enchantingly Creepy: LIFE Magazine Looks Back

    http://life.time.com/curiosities/a-squirrels-guide-to-fashion/#1   Thank you Rosie for sending this! I was both giggly enchanted and slightly standoff-ish due to the creep factor. I am still wondering why Tommy The Squirrel dressed in ladies clothes? What made Mrs. Bullis think dresses were the thing? Did she only have mad dress making skills? …were trousers a work of mystery? Either way I am choosing to be enchanted. Thanks Honeybun Master!...

Nathan Braces Off!

Nathan 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...

Jack Fixed Lights! WHOOT!

Jack 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...

Pie Treat!

Pie 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...

Happy 306 Benji!

Happy 306 Benji!

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...

Ending The Drought!

  Howdy all! Jack Jack has had his birthday we have recovered from said, birthday…His 48th. So NOW the holidays are officially over at our house! We have had a doosey of a time decorating, taking it all down, giving half of it away. Eating, Eating and Eating! I ran a little scavenger hunt for my men on Christmas Day. 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...
