We get together on Christmas day every year with Ed’s family and long ago determined that we were all spending too much money of gifts for every single person so we began the Gift Exchange.  Every participant spends $20.00 on a gift and then we draw numbers for the order we’ll proceed in selecting from the pile.  […]

…. or a retriever.  Just look at her When snapping pictures I noticed a definite pattern — She’s not walking in these pictures, this how she was standing.  And look at little Sparky trying to get water from the handpump. Sparky is almost as big as Moo!

Lest there be any doubt in anyone’s mind why my nickname is Loopy, this will finally resolve the issue.  Last Tuesday morning I was at the school at 7:00 am for a parent advisory committee meeting {I KNOW!  How funny is that??} then rushed through chores after arriving home and went on a long ride with Jen.   We […]

I’ve got a cheesecake to make, Ed’s on vacation, and the kids are out of school starting this afternoon so I’m going to take a holiday break to concentrate on the “must do” list.  It’s positively out of control and needs tackled. I’ll be back over the weekend.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Contrary to Ed’s opinion, I really do hate to nag but I don’t think I can let this go any longer.  I’ll have to put a nagging plan in action fairly soon and it will drive the proverbial wedge right down the center of the rock that is my marriage.  Ed will fuss and complain […]

The first half was spent fall cleaning.  Do you do this?  You should.  Don’t even concern yourself with the infamous Spring cleaning because that’s not the time for anything more than a big spruce up.  No, fall cleaning is where you really get down and dirty.  Literally.  All spring, part of summer, and fall you […]
