    Dog and Cat Friends'

    Now that summer is pretty much here and we usually have the house doors open, the cats have been spending more time out in the back yard. Magellan (aka Jelly Bean) seems to enjoy helping me with yard and garden work, and when I was thinning the strawberries yesterday, he went right into the...

    Cruise ship hantavirus latest: Number of confirmed rat virus cases increases - as Trump gives update

    The good ting is that the hantavirus only comes from being in contact with infected rodents, so one person can’t catch it from another person. It is pretty bad that a cruise ship has that many rats on board that it has infected the people on the ship, and they are going to have to totally...

    Board games

    I have not played any board games for years and years, not since my kids were growing up and we played board games together as a family. I used to enjoy playing pinochle (card game) but I have not done that for many years either.

    PV Window Box

Solar lights is something both Bobby and I enjoy, and so I have been getting some pretty solar lights for the yard and garden area. Th least ones I got have flowers as well as the...

    Another assassination attempt at the White House correspondent’s dinner !

    It is not that there are so many that dislike him, but the ones who do are mainly criminals of one sort or another and they want him assassinated before he can expose their crimes. He has had all of the departments working to help stop human trafficking, and you can believe that upsets some of...

    Home Made Ice Cream

    We have been having the frozen overnight oats smoothies every day now, and it is working out amazingly well ! Once they are frozen and the Ninja Creami has turned everything into ice cream, you can’t even tell that there is oatmeal in it at all, and it adds SO much fiber into the ice cream...

    What's your Weather like today

    This seems to be a cold spring here this year. We have had a few days that made it into the 80’s, but more often than not , we have had chilly weather in the 60’s and maybe up to 70. Of course, Alabama does this kind of thing, and suddenly, it will shoot up to 90+ and be a hot summer. Bobby...

    Our SUN: The STAR of the Show!

    I loved singing that song back when I was a kid. We usually had summer Bible Camp each year at the church, and I think this was probably the favorite of all of the children there.

    Another assassination attempt at the White House correspondent’s dinner !

    Something that is really strange is that the last several people who have tried to assassinate our president were all in the news for one reason or another before. Some were featured in a special program, and some were in a commercial for something else, but they all seemed to have been known on...

    Last thing you bought

    The last thing I bought was more raspberry plants. I had ordered more strawberries and raspberries from Stark’s Nursery. They sent me the strawberries, and some grapes instead of raspberries. When I contacted them, they said they can’t replace the order becaue they were out of that kind of...

    What's your Weather like today

    More rain last night, and it is cold and really windy here in Alabama today. Not an outside day, and my ambition level seems to be set at “Pokey” today anyway, so I might just work on knitting socks or some similar thing today. I have to plant the strawberries , but they can wait another day.

    What's your Weather like today

    Today is lots of rain, thunder, and lightning. Poodle is afraid of thunder and other loud noises, so he is snuggled safely at by feet until the storm blows over. Too wet for yard work today, so this will be a doing housework kind of day for me.

    Another assassination attempt at the White House correspondent’s dinner !

    The shooter took a train all the way from California to Washington DC to try and kill the President yesterday. He was actually able to get into the hotel where the shooting happened, and it was the very same hotel where former President Ronald Reagan was also shot when he was president. One of...

    Home Made Ice Cream

    We have not been making any ice cream in the Ninja for a while becasue our freezer was just too full to put the containers in properly. However, I discovered that they will actually fit on one of the shelves in the door of the freezer, so yesterday I made four containers to freeze . I had a...

    Favourite brand of car

    Yes, they are an all electric car made my Elon Musk. They are sold in more countries than just in the United States, as far as i know. Some of the newer ones are completely self driving, and there are amazing stories of them saving people from what would have been wrecks most likely if a person...

    Last thing you bought

    We just got a new vibration plate. It has built in speakers for an MP3 player (which we do not have); but I can use my phone. The problem is that my phone does not have a connection jack anymore, and the MP3 player is supposed to plug in to the vibration plate. I ended up buying and adaptor that...

    Last thing you bought

    I can see that I will have to get used to using it ! When you step on the side lever, it closes up the prongs, but if you take your foot off of the lever, then the prongs can open right back up again. Maybe I am supposed to keep my foot on the lever, but then it is hard for me to tip it...

    Last thing you bought

    Now that aI am working outside in the yard and garden, I bought a small weed puller. You put it over the weed, step on the side to push in the prongs, and then tip it to uproot the weed. I will have to water the area where I am working first, so that the ground is not too hard and compacted...

    Journal of a perennial optimist (part 2)

    The truck has been overheating for the last few weeks. Bobby has tried everything that he can think of. He replaced the thermostat, the radiator, flushed everything out, got a special funnel that is supposed to get rid of air in the water line. So far, nothing works, and after a few minutes of...
