I’m Up, I’m Out
Hey check it out, I’m up, dressed (that alone is a miracle because I can do a lot of things in my jamies, except go to the store, even out door chores’cause I have a rain suit sitting right over my boots, fireman style)Dirt took the girls with him today to the areoplane fest, so … Continue reading
Did I Have Oatmeal In My Mouth? But Before You Answer That, Call the Police, I’ve Been Robbed!
Okay, that was a long title. But this is a really long post, so it should have a long odd title. Dear Reader, please do not feel obligated to read it or even finish the whole thing once you start. I do not hold that you must belong to the clean plate club around here, … Continue reading
Have I Ever Been Gone So Long Before?
I’m outta sorts, I have written so many posts in the last few days. But none have shown up here.I have even tried, desperately tried, to write silly willy nilly posts about pruning, cats, (not pruning cats, pruning trees and watching cats), nutty dogs, hard jobs, good friends, bad scenes (the naked bottom of a … Continue reading
A Good Idea
My father liked good ideas. He was always remarking on new things that were being built, or new ingenuities that were coming out. He had a positive outlook on things, and did not appreciate the doom and gloom that seems to pervade every generation. When I was young it was the Communists and the nuclear … Continue reading

Dirt, a school teacher (college level, no summers off), often has holidays like Veterans’ Day and Independence … Continue reading
Western Day
I’ve told you before that my father looked like John Wayne, talked like John Wayne, walked like John Wayne and cuffed his jeans like John Wayne (he wasn’t obsessed with the actor and in fact enjoyed and admired many other actors and famous people, he sang like Bing Crosby). Sitting here watching the Rifleman with … Continue reading
A Belated Post
It was quite possibly the Lutefiskiest time we have had so far. Last year the groaning board groaned a little harder than it did this year. For some reason we just couldn’t get to all the geletiny things that Bet and I did last year. And I believe that I had more pickley things and … Continue reading
Why Is It…
that nothing but rehash happens on the news over the weekend but then on Monday we have to recap all that went on over the weekend that we didn’t know about? I’m confused. Now I would like to breifly address the rehash that I was going to address last evening. Oh, if you are just … Continue reading
They Just Ate the Mud Sandwich
But it is us that will have indigestion down the road. I keep hearing that this was a better bill than the one voted on on Monday. How does a 3 paged document get improved by becoming a 450 paged one? It is not from adding clarifying language. Adding that many words rarely clarifies anything. … Continue reading
