Princess turns five tomorrow and in honor of that we decided to try this new-fangled party where we make a cake and do something with candles. Seemed to go over well. Not sure if it will catch on.
Also we had to go to Build-A- Bear workshop which is designed around the concept of […]

Just got done cleaning out my computer bookmarks. Some I don’t even remember why I bookmarked. It feels good to have my little ‘puter all cleaned up and organized. On to the desktop….
Update: computer desktop is cleaned up. Princess and I baked brownies and then she helped me clean out my file cabinet. Ahh this […]

Some recent Princess-isms.
Yesterday she wiped her hand across her forehead and said “wow it sure it human out there”
One of the downsides of living in the country during the summer is the flies. The body count for the last two days is ten. Princess pointed at the fly swatter and asked if we were going […]

People were going crazy filling up anything that needed gas. One of her co-workers spent $170 filling up her cars and even filling up big drums […]

One of our ministers has a blog. He makes me laugh every day. Today he’s discussing the old children’s song The Lord’s Army. You know the one “I’m in the Lord’s Army. Yes sir!”

I’m doing more home decor via Ebay. We’ve had our comforter for some time but never any real decor. Its sage green and tan plaid. I knew when I bought it that I had no idea how to decorate with the design but decided I would worry about that later. Well a year later I’m […]
