Just a couple of dorks – Wordless Wednesday

We had a great time at a friend’s annual Halloween party on Saturday. it’s the only time of year I get to dress up, too bad every day wasn’t Halloween! Super G. kinda looks like one of the dwarves from my Lord of The Rings Online game — I like! Do you dress up? you […]

Family Road Trip to the elk capital of Pennsylvania

All summer long I have been hearing about the Elk in PA. Several cousins, a friend (her friend) and even random Facebook updates –have all been teasing us with photos and stories about visiting the herd located on the other side of the Allegheny National Forest. Finally, the Saturday before last, (the ninth) we couldn’t […]

A visit to The Pioneer Gas & Steam Engine Society

Last Saturday morning we ventured out to visit a local attraction. Well, kind of local, when you live in rural PA, anything within an hour’s drive is considered a local attraction! I’ve driven past the sign for The Pioneer Steam & Gas Engine Society many times over the years without giving it much thought. When […]

Backyard chicken coop and pen photos #WordlessWednesday

Well, it was almost wordless ;) Last week Super Genius and I spent a day readying our little flock for winter. We used the tractor to pull the old coop out of the mud pit it was sinking into. The poor chickens had been up to their knees in muck after the month of rain. […]

My husband was a victim of credit card fraud!

Wow! I just cannot believe the scam that was almost pulled on my husband! This morning when he woke up, Super G. checked his online bank account to make sure that our electric and phone bill payments went through. When I heard him cursing out the computer at five o’clock in the stinkin’ morning, I […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Eleven and growing

We partied hard this past weekend to celebrate Pie’s eleventh birthday. We took a carload of girls out for a night on the town with stops to see Dolphin Tales 3D (loved it!), Pizza Hut (eh, they used to be better) and a late night treat at Coldstone Creamery (to DIE for!). Then after the […]

What’s Going On?

Since I missed Monday Melody this week I had to come share this video with you. Mr.T. showed it to me yesterday and i’m in love! Not only is this one great song, it’s being sung by none other than He-Man himself. All I have to say is , I need this as my ringtone. […]

Wordless Wednesday – Tracks

These are some BIG cat tracks by the site my hubby is building a garage on. Last week the neighbor’s dog was killed and a horse was attacked. Another neighbor saw the cat and said it was a mountain lion. The other day when hubby showed up at the job site in the morning these […]

Not Good Enough

I have zero motivation. No inspiration. Life at the moment is boring, uneventful. Yet, there are still times when I do miraculously think of a topic to sit down and write about. I ready myself, excited to let the words flow out of me and to be able to create a sentence, a paragraph — […]
