R and J had a couple of friends over yesterday afternoon. It was so gorgeous outside so that’s where they stayed. They had fun inventing and playing made-up games. One such game included the making of a potion which was composed of mud, twigs, and other debris they collected.
While they were working on their concoction [...]

I’m a Twittering
So, I’m into this thing called Twittering. IF you haven’t heard of it it’s kind of like a site dedicated to status updates similar to what you find in Facebook. When I first looked into it I thought it was a little silly. But now I’m liking it.
I like that I just have to write [...]

The Cuteness of Mowgli
J and I were organizing her room, and Mowgli decided to stow away in her bookshelf.
Ahhhh, it’s a tough life being a kitty.

This is, in fact, my [...]

I had my Weight Watcher’s meeting this morning. I’m enjoying the morning [...]

Beep Beep!
I love to watch the kids play and invent their own games. They spent a couple of hours this afternoon playing a bus game. They made their own bus schedule and tickets.

I was cooking a roast in it. You can imagine my shock. I opened the oven door expecting only to see my yummy [...]

A Synonymously Guilty Pleasure
Let me use this time – my time, your time (although your time may feel like an eternity once you’re finished reading this) - to make a confession. A disclosure. A divulgence, if you will. Not clear enough? I want to avow and unburden myself.
Yes, yes, I’ve been playing with my Thesaurus – a little known hobby [...]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snowwww
Look! More snow. Hoo – uh – ray. And we have a Junior Forest Event today. We’re giving away trees at Camper’s Village. Ah well. We’ll make the best of it.
Incidentally. Remember my accident?
Thanks for the Picnik link, Joy!

A Bloggers’ Photo
A few bloggers in our area have been meeting pretty much monthly for awhile now. It started with Joy, Dawn, and me. Then Joy and Emma met. Then Emma decided she’d risk meeting Dawn and me as well. Next Sirdar came along. Then Aims came. Now Mamma Schmoo has joined in. Whew. I don’t think [...]
