If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed My van is gone! Yay! You’ll remember that our old, beat up, huge van broke down for the last time in May. My plan was to donate it to charity right away, but that plan was foiled due to clutter obscuring my [...]

The Uncles
The Uncles were here! Very nice men, all three of ‘em. This is M. Taker of family photos. Buyer of much pizza and soda. Hero of many Cowboys due to the pizza and soda (among other things). This is B. He’s a trouble maker but I don’t think he has any evil intentions with Tex’s [...]
Am NOT Either!!!
Remember when I showed you a photo of a piece of mail sent to Hubs from . . . The Scooter Store? Ha ha ha ha! THAT was funy! The people at The Scooter Store are funny! The people at AARP are not! ‘Cuz this? Not funny!
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
This is Hubs’ favorite cake. I should really make it more often, ‘cuz it’s very easy and homemade cake is rather frugal to boot! Preheat your oven to 350° and grease your 9 x 13 pan. You’ll need: 1 can crushed pineapple ¼ cup butter, melted 1 cup brown sugar 3 cups all purpose flour [...]
Hasta la Vista, Smartpot!
Hubs bought me a Smartpot Crockpot several months ago after BOTH of my crock pots were broken within one weeks time. (I don’t know, sometimes stuff just happens.) Anyway, I was really tickled with my Smartpot. It was the nicest, bestest crockpot in the store, and it was mine! I use my crockpot a LOT. [...]
Memory Work for Little Folks
I love The Book of Virtues. Any book that has stories for everyone in the whole family, regardless of age, has my attention. I always appreciate any book with such wide application. The fact that it’s arranged, within each chapter, with stories for the youngers in front and the olders in back makes it so [...]
Is Rowdy a Lefty?
All my children write with their right hands but it turns out that Rowdy’s left eye is dominant and it’s ever so much easier for him to do certian things left handed. This photo cracks me up because it looks like Hubs is making Rowdy shoot without looking. Actually he’s covering Rowdy’s left eye to [...]
The Van is Dead! Long Live the Suburban!
I am so excited! I can barely contain myself! My hubs is out right now buying a Suburban for us. I found it on craigslist.com. Our OLD, nasty, I-hate-it-and-have-always-hated-it van has bit the dust! Finally! It was a long, slow, painful death. And now it’s complete. The oil pump went out on the way home [...]
Two, Two, Two Posts in One
Why, yes, I do have cows on my skirt. My New Shoes I actually got them about 2 weeks ago. My hubs insisted that good tenny-shoes would make my knees and hips feel better. He says I’m not as young as I used to be and I need better shoes. He even used the [...]
Gardening with Slim
My littlest Cowboy, Slim, is an enthusiastic gardener. He loves his plot of straight-neck squash. Today he found a bee down in one of his squash flowers, doin’ the job God gave him to do for our squash plants. This cracks me up, see the green air-soft BB? I just think it’s really cool [...]
