Nuthatches
Wednesday, 19 September 2007 12:00 A GMT-06
I spent one day last week just sitting at the tripod watching the 5 Chickadees, 2 White-Breasted Nuthatches and 1 Red-Breasted Nuthatch come and go. It's just too enjoyable watching them. The tiny little Red-breasted (he wa

Dog Grooming Woes (or pissed at Petco)
Friday, 14 September 2007 8:18 A GMT-06
There aren’t a lot of choices here when it comes to getting your dog groomed. Before we moved I always took my two to Wiggles and Wags in Marshfield and they were very nice. I only took them to get their toenails trimmed.After we moved to Plove
Declutter your home
Thursday, 13 September 2007 10:04 P GMT-06
Since the clutter of children seems to still be an ongoing trend for many parents, and I’ve been there done that so to speak, I thought I’d share with you one idea I used that worked wonders for my kids. You probably think I’m
Caution!
Tuesday, 11 September 2007 12:00 A GMT-06
We have a large Oak Tree in our backyard providing us with shade and a place to hang the birdfeeder. It's a great tree! But be cautious if you're sitting on our patio right now. The acorns are raining down like hail! I
Holiday in the park

{Check out Haden, way in the back, he's almost on his head, feet to the sky.}I hope everyone had a good, long, holiday weekend. We were fortunate to have a full house. Mikal and Amy spent the night Sunday, the first time in
Support for moms
Wednesday, 29 August 2007 12:00 A GMT-06
This week’s Fun Monday made me realize how many mothers lean on each other through their blogs. I sure wish blogs existed when my kids were little as I think I would have been online a lot seeking comfort, reassurances, advice and hopefully giv

Thursday, 23 August 2007 9:40 A GMT-06
A geocaching friend of ours gave this to me the last time we got together. Isn’t it just so clever! She even took the time to make the bottom of it special. And inside there is a little blank fold out book to put anything I want on the pages. I
Change your top
Sunday, 19 August 2007 12:00 A GMT-06
photoWhen did this happen? We all know how I hate change. Who cares if they say change is good? And don’t even get me started on “New and Improved”! What if I want the old stuff? Why can’t we have both? Like, here’
A Preview
Saturday, 18 August 2007 7:56 P GMT-06
I hate to brag when I know that my parents and grandparents have been sitting in Missouri in temperatures hovering around 100 degrees. But I need to casually mention that it has turned cold up here. I was sitting outside last night and ke
I am a Fraidy Cat!
Thursday, 16 August 2007 7:57 A GMT-06
You will not catch me doing this anytime soon. In all of our nature outings we often run across these primitive toilets and while I’m not a fan, I have been known to occasionally “squat” (sorry for the mental image) above one in a p

While I‘m off having my biopsy and recovering my drugged head from my pulled tooth I thought I‘d leave you with the rest of the photos from the Geobash. We saw a lot of neat things while geocaching. Check out Sunday and Monday. Something

I just knew that someone had stolen them simply for my cute little Brighton keyring. But I often don't know what I think I know.All it took was telling the world that I lost my keys. Well, that and looking in every place I could think
keyed up
Wednesday, 18 July 2007 3:25 P GMT-06
I am horrible about keeping track of my keys. Because of that I have two to three places I try to always put them so I have limited spots to search for them. My favorite spot is the cup holder in the vehicle, when the Rav4 is in the garag
Happy Happy Spring
Monday, 20 March 2006 9:55 P GMT-06
This week is supposed to be warmer but that means more melting snow and more muddy muddy yard. I used to like spring but I can honestly say that it's my least favorite season now adays. Spring is just a horrible, dirty, messy season up he
Sears Tower with the kids
Saturday, 18 March 2006 5:14 P GMT-06
Before Britney and Nick took off back home we went to the Sears Tower. I had no idea how much it would wear me out but it truly did. Here are a few photos from the trip.

Bromeliad Blooming
Thursday, 16 March 2006 4:23 P GMT-06
As I told you, when I was in the hospital Dennis brought me a beautiful Bromeliad beginning to bloom. The photo I took on Feb 23rd showed the bloom like this.
I peeked inside it a few days ago and saw enough changes to snap another photo.&nb
Colon Cancer Awareness Month
Wednesday, 15 March 2006 4:39 P GMT-06
As you may or may not know March is Colon Cancer Awareness month and I want to take this chance to put my story on here and thought I would have done it already but hopefully will soon. For today I just wanted to mention that it makes me
Mystery

Although the last two weeks have not been fun and I still feel so down, not depressed just exhausted I have still been searching for the joy in each day, just one little tidbit to hold onto. Well yesterday I received a package from my grandma,
Chicago Cemetery Fun
Tuesday, 7 February 2006 11:59 P GMT-06
I’m on the way back up from the tired, quiet period and having another sleepless night. As I’ve mentioned Dennis travels a lot with his job and one of his plants is near Chicago. His meeting with them was delayed a week because of his bac

My email isn't working! How frustrating. I'm assuming that it's on my providers end as I went to the tds website and tried to log in and couldn't there either. :( At least my internet is still working but if you email me I won

Tuesday, 31 January 2006 12:19 A GMT-06
My husband's back has been hurting for a few days and today it got so bad he can't walk or change positions without severe pain. We went to the ER and they gave him some muscle relaxers and pain meds. The doc suspects it's a herniated dis
My Aunt Margie
Monday, 30 January 2006 11:59 P GMT-06
Running joke in our family often brings my dear Aunt Margie to mind. Oh, she was a corker! I wish we had been closer in age so I could have truly known her, but then again, maybe it's best this way. Aunt Margie was my great aunt and
Confession
Sunday, 29 January 2006 2:28 P GMT-06
While I try to go around being upbeat and at least have a facade of happiness and being fun, I feel cranky. I snap occasionally and have just been plain irritable lately. I don't want to drive people away and I don't want to cause Dennis

I hate the way everyone mispronounces our last name! And with going to all the doctor’s I’ve been going to lately it’s happening on a daily basis. It seems no matter how many times I correct them it still ends up sounding like I&rsq
