Busted! Piano Recital Shenanigans.

May 26, 2010

Let me set the stage for you. Sunday evening we took the monkeys to their annual piano recital. The recital is always held at Ms. Emma’s church, a venerable place of tranquility. The lighting was soft and golden with the sun still illuminating widows of delicate stained glass. Parents were gathered to enjoy a peaceful […]

The Instigator and the monkeys struck again ya’ll!! Once I spend the morning figuring out how to clean up the photo’s I will share their latest shenanigan with you.

Port City Java perks me up.

May 24, 2010

* Warning-This is a peek into my neurosis again…enjoy. Giveaway at the end* I don’t want to do the dishes…they seem to always multiply. I don’t want to do the laundry…it is always wet or sandy. I don’t want to sweep the floor…even more sand. I don’t want to put away the laundry…it’s just tedious. […]

Washers for a waffle iron.

May 22, 2010

Have you ever played a game of Washers? It’s very similar to horseshoes only you have a much smaller target. You have to get that little washer into those PVC pipes for points. Yeesh! The game is often played with four people on teams of two that attempt to toss metal washers into a wooden […]

Ahhh… what a view. There is nothing like a good view to go along with a delicious brunch. Yum!! This brunch is special to me because for once I didn’t have to make it. Not to mention I have been able to enjoy having brunch for the past two days. I host a regional trade […]

Bessie sure can lick a winner.

May 15, 2010

In honor of this give away for The Pioneer Woman’s cook book we enlisted some help from an expert, Bessie. Bessie is one of the cows that stowed away in my van during my trip to meet Ree. Bessie couldn’t help but hitch a ride home, especially with Homer Simpson being the Pied Piper of […]

Put your heels up!

May 12, 2010

One of my favorite things to do is repurpose furniture. I am always in consignment shops, Good Will or yard sales looking for a bargain that I can play with and tweak. Here in town we have a store called Vintage Values. Vintage Values has two locations where you can donate your household items or […]
