  • While blog-hopping this morning, I fell into a time warp. Jan of Jan's Daily Dish posted a link to a song she says her dad used to sing to her (with a warning that anyone under 55 might not want to click on it!)…"If I knew you were coming I'd've baked a cake…" I'm still just…

  • My friend Darla's daughter finished up two weeks of summer camp in East Texas today. Another friend, Patti, offered to let her spend last night at her lakehouse near the camp so she wouldn't have to make such a long drive first thing this morning. Darla invited me to go along just for fun. Heck, yes!…

  •     Something fun for a Saturday morning – dedicated to all of those Craig-Listers, especially Darla and my sweet Tom, who might be headed out to gather up new treasure…

This evening, Charly, Max and Frankie all went with us, but yesterday the dogs wimped out and just Frankie tagged…

  •                  Ah, much better! 

  •     My friend Scott Gray sent this to me after reading about our adventure with the squirrel yesterday. Makes you wonder…

  • First clue: TG heard a scratching sound in the attic above her bathroom. Tom grabbed a ladder and climbed on the roof. Sure enough, a squirrel came shooting out of a teensy one inch gap in a seam up there, surprising the you-know-what out of him. Armed with screening and I don't know what else,…

  •     People around here badmouth the cedar trees (technically a type of juniper, but we call them cedar – don't ask me why, because I don't know!) They are looked down on because they spread fast and drink up all the water. They gang up on oak trees and anything else that has roots and leaves. Don't…
