We didn’t have much of anything to fix for dinner, so George said he’d go to the store. I scanned the contents of the fridge to see what we needed, and he wrote the list. When I glanced at it, I noticed he’d printed with much larger, rounder letters than usual. “Why are you writing […]
It’s, like, totally time to make a grocery list. Read More »
It’s carnival time, which means you get to throw three balls at this post and try to knock it over. (Ouch! Hey, watch the aim, mister!) Oh, you sillies. It’s not that kind of carnival. This is a Carnival of Beauty. (Just typing that phrase makes me laugh. “Yeth, my friendth, behold my amathing lovelineth
After dinner I was minding my own business, serving up a little ice cream and looking forward to the imminent enjoyment thereof, when George leaned on the counter and began scrutinizing my scooping technique. I could feel more than see the critical expression on his face. “Maybe I should show you the proper way to

Soggy corndogs. Yummmm. Actually, it should be fun no matter what. We know quite a few families who live out there. Famous

I have a blog just for photos, and during the month of July I plan to post one new picture a day (except for days I’m away from my computer and can’t). Feel free to drop by often. Meander amongst the archives. Stop and smell the digital roses. Whatever. I’ve already posted today’s shot. The

This is my third post of the afternoon–mostly because I had three little things to say and didn’t want to put them in one post. (Note to the esteemed Long Longbow: I know I’ve let you down in terms of update quota. I hope today’s spree will atone for past sins. And let me just

A few days ago George and Jacob took an evening stroll through the neighborhood. George directed Jacob’s attention to a small puffy cloud glowing with golden-orange-pink fire. Jacob said, “I wish I were God.” “Why’d you say that?” “So I could eat that cloud.”

I was sitting in the armchair in our bedroom reading when I heard a scritchy-scratchy, fluttery sound coming from inside a dresser about five feet away. This can only mean one of two things. A mouse or a roach. In Texas the two are about the same size. Roaches around here are not only huge,
