Ocean

by

One of the stops we made on our recent vacation was at St. Augustine. It’s the oldest city in the country, or some such thing. Honestly, history really isn’t my thing — but it was also the first time I’ve ever seen the ocean. In fact, no one in my family had ever seen the ocean, so it was very … Read more

In Georgia

by

Whew. We’re in Georgia. It was a long, but enjoyable day. Amanda’s Day 1 log is on her site, and since it’s 11:30, and I want to go to bed — I’ll send you there. 🙂 http://amanda.meetthepowers.com

Florida, baby!

by

We’re leaving for an 8 day trip to Florida today. I’ll do my best to post from the road, but I urge you to read my daughter Amanda’s trip blog. Her teacher assigned her the task of journaling every day, and we’re posting it for her class (and the world, I guess) to see. Stop by and check it out!

They are green pills, which a person with a hurting melon takes every 6 hours to feel better. The problem is that some … Read more

Skunk!

So Tigger got skunked. Yep. Right in the face. When I smelled it, I ran outside to bring him inside, so that he wouldn’t tangle with the skunk I smelled. Too late. When he came running to me, his face was still wet from skunkiness. It was truly disgusting. So Tigger will be spending the night outdoors, and tomorrow, we’ll … Read more

Awesome Wife Have I

by

You know what we’re doing this fine Tuesday evening? We’re watching old episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation. That’s right, I said we are watching it! Donna is the coolest wife in the world. I think that her not being a die hard trekkie, yet still enjoying watching it with me makes her super cool. She’s the woman that … Read more
