Two hours ago, at 6:30 A.M., there was a bad accident right in front of my house. Although I live in a very rural area, (my next door neighbors are Holsteins!), the road I live on is a very busy trucking route. Semis, logging trucks, and milk haulers go through here all day long. It's a State Rte., so the posted speed limit, until JUST below me ( Read more... )

Despite the fact that I still haven't gotten away all summer, this past weekend was pretty darned good, in a Guavmom kinda way ( Read more... )

Those darned dogs! when we lived at the cabin in the woods, Poco had a best friend, Skippy, who lived next door. Every morning, Skippy would come to our front door to call on his buddy Poco. Off the two would go, on their daily jaunt, often to be gone for hours on end. I figured they had a normal route. It kept Poco fit, and happy ( Read more... )

Yeah you. There in the back....raise 'em high, if you've been there: so, I committed to sewing up eight purses from a variety of fabrics, to sell, hoping to raise money for my club's annual camping trip. And no, I do not go. Just wanted to help their fundraising efforts ( Read more... )

So I just had a phone call from a dear friend of mine in another state, and the poor woman, a single mother of three, with a daughter entering her sophomore year of college in a big name university, is being harassed and persecuted at work. My friend is an experienced nurse, at a hospital in the Heartland of America. She is very professional, ( Read more... )
