Happy Thanksgiving
The Reading Mother I had a mother who read to me Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea, Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth, “Blackbirds” stowed in the hold beneath I had a Mother who read me lays Of ancient and gallant and golden days; Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe, Which every boy has a [...]
Gifts in a Jar
I love gifts in a jar. Every time I have ever received one of these cool jars I have loved it to pieces and felt like it was such a neat, personal kind of gift. Ant they’re so easy to make! I can’t wait to get started! Here’s an extensive list of “jars” and all [...]
3 Day Weekend???
I’m so used to Hubs not getting holidays off or any extra time off … ever, that I was kinda sursprised when he casually mentioned having Monday off this morning before heading off to work. He worked in retail for ever and ever and ya just learn to not expect time off. I wouldn’t [...]
April Fool’s Day
How many of you remember this song I linked to last year? Or how ’bout this math practice site? Seems even more cool now, I think they made some improvements. I have just spent the better part of an hour looking at posts from around this time last year, yes, mine. (I am my biggest [...]

And I really feel silly “celebrating” the advent of just another day. I never have understood this “holiday” but that’s not [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like….
Christmas! I hope my recent bah-humbug-i-ness wasn’t too obvious. My Very Dear Hubby and 2 oldest Pirates have been working their very fingers to the very bone lately. I certainly don’t like to look a gift horse in the mouth but, I miss my family when I don’t see them and talk to them. Nothin’ [...]
Christmas Craftiness
I get worn out reading about all the crafts and cookies and huge dinners being planned and prepared all over the bloggityville. I don’t have the patience for too many projects and none of mine can be very involved. Short and sweet, thank you very much. So, we have a simple Christmas Dinner of Chili [...]
Make a Snowflake, Y’all
Still sick (as a big, ferocious dog!). But I’m enjoying listening to George Strait singing Christmas Cookies (what a cute song) on my Country Christmas radio station on Pandora Internet Radio while I make e-snowflakes on this weird site that Kim told me about. No, I’m not being productive, but neither am I laying down [...]
