Kind of Like Baby Biscotti
Pin itMy son loves his baby sister. Loves. Her. Though he’s never had biscotti, and probably doesn’t know the word (we eat scones or cookies whilst sipping our coffee and cocoa) I was tickled when he basically compared his baby sister to biscotti yesterday. It went a little bit like this: Joel (in baby voice): [...]
Who knew
Pin itraising a goldfish would be so much work? It’s been years since we had one, but I often feel guilty that “Larry Fish” is no longer here. “Larry Fish” was originally “Bob Fish” (a Veggie Tale theme here) before “Bob Fish” died. “Larry Fish” is not dead – though on at least 3 separate [...]
All in the name of Progress…
Pin itDespite our best effort to utilize the best option (the shortest path, tree-free, landscape design-free), a cranky neighbor and a neighbor not willing to explore options (not as much cranky as they are affected by cranky neighbor’s cranky-influenced gossip) dash our money and time-saving hopes against a wall of hard-headedness.

Foundation – Footing
Pin it County Approved – 02-NOV-2005 Victory countered with setback… neighbors unwilling to allow convenient and most affordable way for power. Cool, it’s always nice to have helpful neighbors. It’s a longer story than this short paragraph eludes to… Light at the end of the tunnel – literally and figuratively. Another neighbor agrees to a [...]
The Secret to a Clean Bathroom
Pin itAre you ready? Here it is. It’ll change the world. Oh. The. Suspense. Don’t. Use. It… Don’t. Use. The. Bathroom. The secret is finally out. But there is a price. There is always a trade-off. One can never have a clean bathroom, clean hair and fuzzless teeth. Rats. There is always a hitch. *She [...]
