Today I’m thankful for the opportunity to see wildlife in my own backyard. Chris and I watched these three deer for at least 10 minutes this afternoon. I just wish I’d had a video camera with telephoto lens so I could have captured the little drama that took place. A couple of our cats seem…
Homemaking is back in style
The other day I read this post by Jamie Lee Curtis in which she muses about how she became a woman who is “obsessed with making gourmet food, organically grown, artisanally produced as (she) plays Words With Friends…this generation’s Coffee Klatch…”. She’s certainly not the first to make the observation that there seems to be…
Thankful November
I noticed that a number of my Facebook friends are posting something they are thankful for each day of November. What a nice idea. Instead of posting on Facebook, however, I’m going to post here. If I have another post for the day, I’ll include my thankfulness at the bottom of it. If not, it…

Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies
A Facebook friend mentioned that she really likes the recipes on skinnytaste.com so I took a peek. The recipes are relatively low-fat and include nutrition information, including Weight Watchers points. Unlike many supposedly “healthy” recipes, most of these actually do contain real food ingredients. I’d rather use less of something real, like butter, than to…

Have you been wondering about our Raccoon Witness Relocation Program? I don’t know if I shared the final count here or just on Facebook, but we relocated 14 raccoons. FOURTEEN! And then they seemed to get the hint that they were not welcome guests. In the past few weeks we haven’t had any in the…
Menu Plan Monday ~ October 31, 2011
Click here for more menu ideas! I don’t want to say it too loudly but it looks as though this week will be a little less busy than recent weeks. I’m hoping to get some extra baking done, as well as a few more complicated meals than we’ve had lately. Next week is crammed with…
This is how we (rock and) roll
We won’t be going to Voodoo Fest in New Orleans this year but we did get to see the band David most wanted to see – Soundgarden. Chris, David and I drove to Dallas Wednesday afternoon for the concert that night. But first we needed nourishment: Burritos at Del Taco (This was a favorite when…
Big doings in a small town…
A lot of folks complain that there’s nothing to do in a small town but they just aren’t looking in the right places. We had a rockin’ Saturday night which began with a fundraiser for the fire department David volunteers with. Now tell me there’s a better name for a community than Happyland. I just…
