Sly is drooling for one of these. She estimates that she’s burned through at least six handmixers since we’ve been married. KitchenAid says they make their Artisan model with all metal and nothing has changed.
Which is great, because my mother had a Sunbeam MixMaster that I identified on this site as being built […]

Forty degrees in late April is wrong. We’re under a freeze warning for tonight. When we get home from church tonight I need to figure out how I’m going to cover up plants. I think I’ve got enough buckets and old sheets to do the job. Its just going to be nasty to do this […]

During the storm last night, the phone rang. The woman identified herself as calling from a security company and asked to speak to KP. I assumed there had been a power outage at KP’s employer and he was on the list of people to call. KP talked to her a few minutes and learned she […]

The lights blinked a couple times but the power stayed on. The worst of the storms passed by us. This morning we woke up to a rain and snow mix. My Mom e-mailed that Michigan was supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow. There are times I miss living in Michigan but not today.

We have a ugly bush that has grown up at the base of the big tree out front. Every year I’ve said I’m going to cut it down but procrastinate about it every year. Consequently the bush that was fairly small 3 years ago is now quite large. The tops of its branches reach the […]

Chief was asking some excellent questions this morning about dinosaurs. Excellent questions but completely out of my league. I sent him to the Anwers In Genesis website. What a great resource! He got his question answered and is now going through the Q&A portion of the site.

Lori and clan just stopped by after attending puppy school at Circle Tail this morning. Cassie was introduced to Sam and Frodo and I’m pleased to say she did very well. The people at Circle Tail tell us she is very good with other dogs and puppies when we board her but of course those […]
