My girls are models!

Models for Morgan, that is! Morgan has a shop on Homemade Amazon, making pet items. She needed models for her website for the dog collars so she used Smidge, DG, and Puppers as well as some other dogs she knew. I just love the pics she took! The girls loved modeling for her (until a bee … Continue reading My girls are models!

Raccoon babies!

Gramma called me the other night and said there were three tiny raccoons on her porch but no mother. She said she was sure they were still nursing age, and she was worried about them.  I grabbed the cat carrier and a can of cat food and headed down.  My plan was to scoop them … Continue reading Raccoon babies!

Stand off

This is Tilley's favorite thing to do with Chip: play stand off. They push heads against each other and shove each other round and round. I can never figure out who wins or how they know who wins because it's not obvious; they just do it over and over and then stop as fast as … Continue reading Stand off

Looking at butts

Yep. You read the title right. I'm looking at butts, trying to determine if any cattle are bred or going into heat.  Click off this post if you're not interested in looking at cow butts with me.

198.5 miles ÷ 4.323 gallons = 45.917 mpg!!!! I've kept my little Smart car locked in the garage when I'm not driving it, and this just blew me away!!! This means someone has been skimming off my tank for at least a month. >:/

I also found a big pack of 16 white petunias for $2.50 and a little six pack of … Continue reading Flowers, flowers, and more flowers!

Jake’s party design

Jake is having a Minecraft party this evening with four boys here.  He designed this party to celebrate the release of the Minecraft World of Color update (launched today), and I made the cake he designed! I think I did pretty well.   I cheated because I am still working so I couldn't do it … Continue reading Jake’s party design

I cut it off!

My hair looked thin and dry and frizzy.  All I could do was put it in a bun or a braid or a ponytail.  I felt like my hair made me look old.  I've resisted cutting it short for years, but it was time.  I stopped dying it this past January when I turned 45, … Continue reading I cut it off!
