Celebrating 35

Sunday was my 35th Birthday.  Hip-hip-hooray! … well, as exciting as adult birthdays are. I thought I’d celebrate by adding 35 life memories to the family history record: 1. Cow named Cornflakes… Horse named Becky 2. Family trips to Jackson… photo on the log fence 3. Green Station Wagon, Red Fury, Blue Bug, The Silver […]

Subscribe to Popcorn?

Jimmy and I were joking today about how I should subscribe on Amazon to our favorite popcorn (they don’t sell it at our Walmart).  I checked and they really had it set up for subscription. Too funny.  Plus, it was cheaper than what we can find on sale around here.  Love tax free and free […]

Plus, I […]

p.s. it’s Saturday night

p.s.  my love, Jimmy, had the delightful experience of gathering groceries at Walmart on Saturday night.  Generally he sticks to the list.  But tonight, he came home with potato chips, oreos, twizzlers, and lots o’ hot chocolate packets.  Mostly it was just funny because it’s not like him to do that.  Tonight I might have […]

Sometimes you get what you ask for

Remember how I asked for no more barfing… please? Except for one small incident with Max, we have been blessed with no more barfing. BUT… now that we have no more barfing here at home, poor little Tru-Tru is worse. His eyes are red and runny. His nose is red and runny. He wants to […]
