This is my kind of tree house! When I was a little girl, I spent a lot of time in the trees and have fantasized all my life about living in one. This British Columbia company builds 'tree pods.' Called 'Spheres,' these wooden structures can be built with a little loft bed, a galley with a microwave,... Sign in to see full entry.

Does the Devil wear Prada?
Yesterday, to escape the heat, we went to see the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada." It really got me thinking about my clothes situation. Just like how the Anne Hathaway character started out in the movie, I basically am a clothes minimalist-- but much worse than she was... MUCH worse. I have always... Sign in to see full entry.

Congratulations to the Shuttle Discovery!
Yay! The liftoff was amazing! The shuttle is just entering space at this moment, traveling at over 6,000 mph. Wow! The boundary of space is about 60 miles up and they are there! Sign in to see full entry.

I can't believe they are still going to launch the space shuttle! (Link)
Wouldn't you be nervous if you were one of the astronauts on that shuttle? The foam issues have emerged again-- cracked insulation foam, even a piece falling off. This safety issue has got to be a huge concern for the astronauts and their families. What kind of pressure are they under to send the... Sign in to see full entry.

About the new 'Superman' movie
To tell you the truth, Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey were the real stars of this movie. Kevin Spacy is a consummate actor. He can play a very bad, bad man in a humorous way. He seems to delight in his roles, the more difficult the better. On a mission to kill Superman, his evil character had no... Sign in to see full entry.

One less little bird...
As happens every so often, this morning a little bird flew into one of our big windows by mistake and crashed to the deck below. It’s so upsetting when this happens. I ran out to the deck to see if there was anything I could do for the little one but I could see right away that he had broken his... Sign in to see full entry.

An update on the decision.
Yesterday I wrote about a tough decision that my Mom's friend was facing. Last night, the decision was made for him. He talked with my Mom on the phone and she said he sounded good. However, later last night he passed away of a heart attack. We know he didn't want to go through the end stages of the... Sign in to see full entry.

A tough decision...
Well, this is a tough one. There is a wonderful gentleman that I know who is dying of lung cancer. He also has heart problems. This man is also a beloved longtime boyfriend of my 80-year old mom, who lost her husband (my Dad) in 1999 of a heart attack. Well this gentleman in question wants to have...

Which of you bloggers have milked a cow?
Ok, how many of you bloggers know how to milk a cow? How many of you are brave enough to milk a cow? When I was a little girl, visiting my uncle's farm was a real hazard. He would point that darn udder my way and start squirting... milk (!!!!) Little cats would run everywhere trying to catch it and... Sign in to see full entry.
