One Lonely Cantaloupe.

As you probably know, we decided to plant a garden this year. We didn’t know what we were doing…we threw a bunch of plants in the ground and hoped they’d grow. Our zucchini started out great. Then some little bugs got into them and killed them. Our pumpkins are weird…kinda mis-shaped. But we got a few and they’re gonna make some good pies. Our...

I’ll Admit It…We’re Addicted.

A couple months ago Paul suggested I start a blog. I did. Recently I suggested he start a new one, a tech one. He did. Yesterday he was on my buddy Wayne’s blog and found something fun called Entrecard. He signed both of us up. Now we’re both entirely hooked. *sigh* Basically it’s like a blog tag game…and you earn points to gain advertising...

Time to Duct Tape the Cat.

That Evil Furball….So we ended up taking her back to the vet, who put 5 staples in her to keep her put together. She’s chewed out 2 1/2. How does she do this??? Doesn’t it hurt? Guess we’ll have to duct tape her after all.

YouTube Testimonies?

I recently ran across this post and found it very thought-invoking. There’s so many false things “out there,” we (as LDS people) have been asked (if we want to and feel compelled to do so) to correct these things and to share our beliefs with others. I’m not a preachy-type…at all…really….ever. But I do have faith and a testimony of my beliefs. And I...

We Have Plans!!

YAY!!! We’re going to add on to our house…not much, just a master suite. But it’s much needed! We’ve been playing phone tag with 2 different architects and contractor all summer. And neither architect worked out (long story). So we asked my brother to do it and he made a deal with Paul….drawings for web site designing/building. And now we have our drawings!! I...

Oh, What a Lovely Morning….

Can you just feel the sarcasm dripping down my page?? It’s there I assure you. This morning I woke up to rain. That’s fine, I love it when it rains.  But not when I have things to do. I came downstairs and looked at Evil Furball’s stitches…and saw her intestines. Nice…gotta call the vet and get her restitched. But first, I had to get...

We Have Evil.

😀 Knew you’d look. I picked up our kitten, Jasmine, aka Evil Furball, up from the vet yesterday. As rotten as she can be, I feel bad for her! We had her spayed, declawed, feline leukemia tested, and 4 shots done. She’s up and walking, but not the happiest cat I’ve seen! But we’ll all be better for it…she won’t get squirted for scratching...

Have You Seen This?? 9/11 Memorial

This is amazing! My mom sent me this in an email as well and I absolutely had to share on the occasion. This man, John Holmgren, used his own money to have his truck/trailer painted as a memorial to 9/11. He said, “”It seemed to me like people were forgetting 9/11.”  He heard the country song “Have You Forgotten?” and created his message in...

Attempting to Compost (need help!)

So, since we have a garden spot now, we thought it might be a good idea to learn how to compost. I’m not talkin’ about “having a huge pile of banana peels on the counter collecting flies until they decay and I can throw them into the ground already falling apart” composting. But I don’t want to spend tons of money with a high-tech...

Doggin’ on Paul!

Ok, not really. But have you ever been around someone who always talks bad about his/her spouse? It’s really awkward. And annoying. I always wonder, ok, why are you with this person if they’re so awful?? And why are you telling me?? We know someone, “Bob.” Bob dogs on his wife frequently. Paul recently heard another friend talking to Bob on the phone. That...
