The Pumpkin Poll

Yesterday, it suddenly occurred to us that it was nearly Halloween and horror of horrors, we didn’t have any pumpkins to carve!  As it was turning out to be a beautiful fall day, bright blue skies with just a hint of chill in the air, we decided that we would go to one of the local . . . → Read More: The Pumpkin Poll

A New Word

A week or so ago, Shaun told me that he had a new word that he wanted to start using. He had heard somebody else say it and he thought it was just a really great word.  Now, before I go any farther with this, I need to let you know that Shaun has a very extensive . . . → Read More: A New Word

All that Annoying Hair

Our Little Mimi has always had a fascination with hair removal of one sort or another.  When she was three, she locked herself into a closet with a pair of scissors she had surreptitiously acquired.  She emerged from her hiding place delighted with her brand new hair do and positive that nobody would know what she . . . → Read More: All that Annoying Hair

Oh yeah…the blog…

OK, so I have been a very bad blogger.  Um….I was on Sabbatical, yeah that’s it!

Since becoming an inside cat a couple months ago, our cat Buddy had really let himself go.  He pretty much just laid around the house sleeping.  He’d gained weight and his personal hygiene had really gone downhill.  Our sweet boy was filthy and he stunk! We hemmed and hawed for a while and then finally decided . . . → Read More: Bathing Buddy

My Favorite Place

Mimi loves poetrty. So when she was assigned to write a poem about her favorite place in the world she went at it eagerly. I thought the end result turned out nicely so I’m sharing it with you. Aren’t you lucky?

Our Little Princess

One of my children left some of her uneaten lunch in her backpack.  Then she carelessly left the aromatic backpack on the floor when we all left the house for a few hours.  That poor backpack never even had a chance.  I’m sure they tried (at least for a few minutes) but our two starving hounds . . . → Read More: Our Little Princess
