Hey MENSA!

October 28, 2008

The kid’s meal at Chick-fil-A usually has educational books or toys. Most likely it is something the boys play with for a few moments and then discard. The books go into our bookshelf to be read later. The toys usually find their way into the trash or donation bin. This week Chick-fil-A’s bonus in the [...]

Must See RhettTV

October 24, 2008

What not to wear: pajama edition

October 21, 2008

The surprises never stop with boy #3… One of the things I have enjoyed about having boys is their total lack of interest in what they are wearing, when they are wearing it and who sees them wear it. Oh, I have had the occasional request demand for blue clothing or power ranger attire, but [...]

Notice of potluck delay

October 20, 2008

Texas Ranch

October 19, 2008

This gate opens to an enchanted ranch. A ranch where time has stood as still as it’s transportation system. Ranch inhabitants wear camouflage coats of black and white. The welcoming committee is wide eyed. Adventures here may turn in any direction. Berries grow on vines of barbed wire. This land is untouched except for the [...]
