Someone stole gas again!!. (Smartcar mileage)
I am so annoyed. I left my car outside the garage overnight for three nights, and someone stole a little over a quarter of a tank of gas from my Smartcar!

Look what we found!
I've been looking for a hog feeder like this for over a year. They are EXPENSIVE brand new so I knew used was the only way I was getting one. We found a couple of them online, but each time, the seller had them sold before we saw them. This time, we got it though! … Continue reading Look what we found!

So worth the thorns!
I picked wild black raspberries the other day. I wound up with about a fourth of a ziplock baggie full of them (which was about two cups total). There were a lot of thorns on those bushes, but OMG! They were so worth the berry stained hands and the scratches, too!
