Last night my husband had a Chamber After Five event at his store. My sister came to town to do a little networking to promote her new graphic design/ web hosting business. It was a great night! First of all, I have to brag a little. I am proud as heck of my husband and my sister for making… Read more »
Recently a friend of mine posted pictures from her husband’s 20 year class reunion on Facebook. I went the same school as her husband but he is a year older than I am. I looked at these pictures for some time and was really surprised by all the fond memories they conjured up for me. I generally describe my… Read more »
I have come to the conclusion that I attract dumb cats. I grew up on the farm with lots of “barn cats”. The first one I recall playing with as a child was no genius- I named her “Run Around In Circles” after her favorite- and apparently only- pastime. When I was older we had a cat named Penelope… Read more »

I have Facebook friends from all over the place ranging from classmates I haven’t seen in 15 years or more to my next door neighbor. I also have a MySpace page and have had the same email address forever now…. Read more »
There comes a time in everyone’s life when they realize that their days of being “with it” are over. When all the songs on Top 40 radio sound the same and don’t sound anything like the good music that was put out when we were younger.

But then my cat Pumpkin jumped up onto me, curled up, and started purring like she didn’t have a care in a world. As I… Read more »
Or I guess I should say “Persons engaged in ranching and wearing Western-inspired apparel” and “Persons whose ancestors were indigenous to North America”. But that’s hard for 6 year old boys to say, let alone play in the back yard. Recently a celebrity (and I use that term loosely) was quoted using the term “indian giver” and the internet exploded….

I spent all day yesterday at an old-fashioned church festival that is put on every year by the church much of my family attends and that I attended as a child. The music for this festival provided by a band. Many decades ago this church had an actual organized band but what we call “the band” these days can best… Read more »
This spring the air conditioning in my car went out. I’ve been without it- and complaining about it- ever since. A couple weeks ago I mentioned to my husband that my gas milage had gotten better. recently I drive about 60 miles road trip to and from work every day and I was getting another 30 miles or so out… Read more »
What do cat hair and corn have in common? I seem to be surrounded by them at all times. I share my home with my husband and 2 black cats. One of these cats loves me and the other hates me but that’s a story for another day. They seem to shed all year round (the cats that is) and… Read more »
