Browsing through my fellow bloggers I came across Martinzoo , her blog rating, and the post that earned her rating.  Too funny.
So being the curious person that I am I decided to see how my site would rank.  I’m so tame it should be ‘G’ easy.  Guess what…NOT!!

 
WHAT?? 
Here’s what did me in:  death (3x), d*ck (2x) […]

Living without running water

Living Without Running Water
My grandma didn’t have running water in her Missouri home.  She had a hand pump and a cistern but no well.  The cistern was filled once or twice a year by a big water tanker about the size of a propane truck.  Lack of running water was not a great hardship perhaps just an inconvenience.  […]

“One”, Metallica, and Real Life

*Don’t let the band name scare you off.  The video is part band in black & white, fully dressed in a warehouse no scantily clad girls in sight.  The rest is clips from a 1950’s movie titled “Johnny got his Guns”.  The music style is similiar to late 70s rock or modern Christian bands.

It’s just been one of those weeks.   Weather wise as hot as mid-July and as dry as August.  The rain clouds are big, beautiful and full of yellow spots, but as it reaches the western edge of our county everything slowly turns green and disappears.  Life just gets more interesting.  

There ought to be a law about old, […]

Rude Awakening

Like thousands of others my niece graduated this past month and is headed off to college.  Thanks to changing parental custody and some senioritis she has to take two college classes this summer and pass them to receive admittance to the college of her choice.  Thanks also to the changing custody and some hardheadedness she […]

Ann and Brian or as all my siblings say Ann’nBrian*.
Our anniversary is today.  Twenty-four years married, twenty-six together.
My youngest brother was 9 months old when we started dating.  My youngest sister 2yo.  There is no memory of a time when Brian wasn’t there.  Sometimes it seems odd to think about.  He is more brother than […]

Favorite Garden Tools

My list is short and to the point:

A good rear tine tiller. They simply go deeper and are much, much easier on the body.  If you are breaking up new ground it is the hands down winner.  Troy Built are my dad’s favorite–they are pricey but the larger models come with attachments.  Someday I hope to have […]

The Woo-hoo Part of the Day

Today at least one thing went right thanks to good ole Wally-World.  I buy many of our staples in bulk at a warehouse club.  Large size is great, storage is not.  Add in a few helpful children, a long haired cat, summer bugs and it’s a problem.  After a dr.’s appointment I stopped by the deli and […]

How not to Spend a Weekend

This should fill the definition nicely.

6:15 am Leaving for work, DH finds that both left side tires on oldest son’s car are flat, looks at family van to see that both left side tires are flat.  These were parked next to the street as DH is kindly fixing oldest son’s girlfriend’s car so has her […]
