They have been guarding our house for years... two big oriental stone Fu Dogs, all teeth and claws. I felt safe with these dogs on our front steps. This morning, they were gone. Is it bad luck for someone to steal Fu Dogs? I sure hope so. They were pretty expensive-- very heavy stone. I wonder, who... Sign in to see full entry.

My Mom is at a slumber party tonight!
I just had to write about this one. My 80-year-old Mom is at a slumber party tonight. She and about 10 of her best friends decided to throw this two-night party-- on a lake in Minnesota, and I am absolutely SURE that they are having a great time! In fact, I really wish I was there.

Home on the Prairie- Part II ( the movie review)
On April 8th I did a 'preview' of the movie, "A Prairie Home Companion," (the link for that is HERE ). Today, I saw the movie.

"Man Plans... God Laughs..."
So, what do you think of this quote? I don't know where it comes from but today, I was reminiscing about it. It's so true! Today, Bruce and I were having lunch and were talking about things. At one point, I just shrugged my shoulders and said, "Man plans... God laughs..." His face broke into an... Sign in to see full entry.

I was especially curious to see what kind of movie Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn could do together, and of... Sign in to see full entry.
Aliens among us?
I just read an amazing article ( HERE ) about a type of reddish ‘rainwater’ that fell from the skies in India in the summer of 2001.

Hangin' out with Goose (aka 'Little Guy')
I had a wonderful time tonight, hanging out with Goose (aka 'Little Guy'), my favorite of our little hawks.
