Thankful Thursday…hee hee, a day late

1. A garage. I’m thankful for my garage, because even during a thunderstorm, the fruit are able to play out there and have a blast. They have currently developed a game called “The United Kids of the Garage”. They have stores, charities, money, services to render (such as bike repair), and homes [...]

Thankful Thursday

1. We have moved back into the new house! Mom decided that she can handle the stairs until her room is finished. She told me Tuesday that she wanted to, and I had us packed and ready to go within three hours.
2. My garden is growing! My broccoli has recovered [...]

Habits Update

So Barbie, you ask, how is that walking going? Have you been keeping up on your habit-forming? Have you, indeed, stayed away from your beloved message board???? The answers are: okay, sorta, and YES.

Poetry, Birds, Blogs, and Dairy

“How beautiful your feathers be!”
The Redbird sang to the Tulip-tree
New garbed in autumn gold.
“Alas!” the bending branches sighed,

A New Old Adventure

Well, Mr. Nutt was informed this afternoon that his services were no longer needed by his employer. Honestly, somewhere in the back of our minds, we knew this was coming. I’m still reeling, however, since I’m the one who pays the bills. Mr. Nutt hasn’t been unemployed for over seven years now, [...]
