Whirlwind Trip
Posted in Everyday Life, Family, tagged apartment, Lubbock, Texas Tech on 18 May 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We awoke early, and I mean EARLY Friday morning and drove a scenic 6 hours to Lubbock to view apartments for Jenna and Jens. We were there by 11:30, and because she’d done her homework to pre-locate several options, we had a two-bedroom apartment chosen and reserved in time to briefly discuss scholarship options with [...]
Drastic Times Call For Drastic Measures
Posted in Everyday Life, tagged hairballs, Roomba on 12 May 2008 | 1 Comment »
Although his performance has been somewhat improved since his last inspection and routine cleaning, Roomba still hasn’t been himself lately. Empathetic, I found him this morning in a lonely corner, repeatedly banging his head. With screwdriver and seam ripper in hand, I performed a colonoscopy. Having only crude tools and no sedatives to offer, I [...]
Indiscriminate Plushie Killing
Posted in Everyday Life, tagged dog toys, dogs, Pets on 12 May 2008 | 3 Comments »
They have no toleration for squealers. The victim’s shrill cries alerted me of the attack, but I was too late. Now, a plushie bovine carcass lies on my living room carpet, its cottony entrails strewn the width and breadth of the floor… It didn’t have the guts to defend itself, and yet they still tried [...]
Happy Mother’s Day!

My mother received this rocker on her first birthday, April 4, 1933, from her grandparents, Addie and Dwight Main. The now brittle heirloom was brought out of storage for this Mother’s Day photo opportunity with our granddaughter Zoe. Jenna was there, right? It’s hard to get us all in one place these days. Due to [...]
Oh, Dear!

I went to bed after 5am. Why am I up at 9:15? Steve and Ali arose “early” for a Saturday to pick up Ali’s car, fresh from repairs, and the dogs and Butterball (one of our two cats) thought I should be awake as well. Sleepy and still ravenous after going to bed hungry, I [...]
Night Owls

I’m up late working on a digital scrapbook project that’s bringing out my OCP(D?), as I keep finding things to fix that probably no one else would notice, but they must be fixed! At about 3:15am, Chief decided it was time for one more trip outside before we called it a night. Our owl was [...]
Merry Muffins with a Twist
Posted in Everyday Life, Family, Recipes, tagged bran muffins, recipe on 07 May 2008 | 2 Comments »
Mentioning buttermilk and cravings in yesterday’s post reminded me that recently I stumbled upon and have been enjoying an old recipe given to me by my sister-in-law. For years, we called her concoction Merry Muffins, but when I rediscovered the recipe a couple of months back, I was craving chocolate. Merry Muffins or chocolate? Why [...]
Bread Addict
Posted in Everyday Life, Family, tagged bread, groceries, Ovaltine, peanut butter on 06 May 2008 | 1 Comment »
We’ve shopped for groceries primarily at Costco the last couple of years, buying in bulk, so I don’t venture into “regular” grocery stores unless I need less often used items that either they don’t provide or we don’t need in mass quantities. Actually, I don’t really care for shopping in general, and warehouse shopping in [...]
