RELATIONSHIPS? WILL CYPRESS BE A DIRTY OLD MAN?

I have to admit this semi-retired confirmed bachelor is a little nervous. This coming weekend finds me flying to San Diego. I plan to stay two days, and then on to Las Vegas for two days. I have never been to San Diego. I will be in Old Town, about 1.5 miles from the bay. Las Vegas is a different... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

It is a beautiful day here in Kansas City. The temperature is in the mid 80’s. Then why is our clubhouse and pool padlocked? We still have the winter cover on. Where are the beach bunette’s? Why is not someone grilling hamburgers? All I want is to relax in the sun with a cold beer. Warning! My white... Sign in to see full entry.

ROAD TRIP, PART TWO, DID MOTHER RAISE A DUMMY?

The second reason for the road trip was my brother bought a dog. His wife found a longhaired German shepherd puppy online in West Virginia. They picked the dog up on the way back from Washington. Please do not ask me why, with thousands of dogs in Kansas, they decided to travel 1800 hundred miles to... Sign in to see full entry.

A WET AND LONG ROAD TRIP

One week ago I, along with my brother, his wife, and his 13 year old daughter took a road trip to Washington D.C. My father is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. It has been 25 years since both my brother & I have been to the gravesite together. There is something special about a military... Sign in to see full entry.

I NOMINATE MY BOSS FOR " BOSS OF THE YEAR "

Yesterday I worked my shift at the retirement home. I knew it would be a busy day, so I painted a smile on my face, and turned up the Valentine Day cheer. Next to Mother’s Day, this is a very hard day to work. I delivered more flowers than an average day’s worth of spam. I was one tired puppy at the... Sign in to see full entry.

CYPRESS HELPS HIS FEATHER FRIENDS

Kansas City received a 4" to 5" snow fall last night. I put some bird seed in the ash catcher of my Weber. This finch, along with many of his friends, managed to have a square meal. It should be many days until these birds see the ground again. Sign in to see full entry.

I MAYBE BRAIN DEAD, BUT I WILL KEEP LOOKING

Yes I think Alzheimer’s has taken root in my brain. I cannot find my pc speakers. Last April I experienced a major problem in my bathroom, which caused me to go into, remodel mode. The work was completed in October, and I’m back to normal living. While the work was going on my furniture, clothes,... Sign in to see full entry.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A WARM BED AND SOME ASPIRIN

This morning I agreed to help my brother with one of his environmental jobs. I met my brother at the site at 7:30 am. Kansas city weather this morning gave us a cold rain. YES, my mother did raise two dummies. We stood out in the rain, and I’m talking it was coming down like &. The job was to close... Sign in to see full entry.

This past summer I helped my brother install a ground water testing apparatus. My brother is an environmental engineer. We spend three days in Iuka Kansas, which is just north of Pratt Kansas. The State of Kansas forced this Co-Op to monitor the local ground water. The EPA must really move slowly.... Sign in to see full entry.

ALL BLOGGERS INVITED TO OPEN HOUSE "B.Y.O.B"

That would be bring your own board. The first picture is my living room wall after discovering termite damage in the wall. My patio door (left in the picture) was also replaced. The second picture is the finished product. I still have some painting to do. Today I bought new drapes for my bedroom.... Sign in to see full entry.
