Two Hours Into Twelve Hours Worth

Three inches of snow per hour seems a goodly amount to me. I'm having fun watching the snow blowers and shovelers out front bundled up like Eskimos while I nibble on my nice warm breakfast burrito in front of the fire. Sign in to see full entry.

Hent The Day

I'm always on a quest for the perfect mop. You would not believe how many different ones I have bought, and you would not believe how many of them have disgusted me, and have been trashed. In my lifetime of cleaning my kitchen and bathroom floors, I was most satisfied with the results when I was... Sign in to see full entry.

Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

Today for the very first time, in the presence of Kansas City Zoo goers, Berlin and Nikita came face to face with each other after spending days getting use to sharing the environment and getting used to each other's presence through the sense of smell and other animal sensations.

While watching Super Bowl 2013, I saw and fell in love with the Wonderful Pistachios Get Crackin' Gangnam Style ad (see below) and I decided that I want to practice a bit and do a mock up of the ad calling it Get Crackin' Grandma Style. I decided to do this for several reasons: • I love pistachio... Sign in to see full entry.

The windows are not open today. The temperature dropped in the wee hours of the morning. The wind is cold, whipping around the corners of the building, flapping the flag of the complex at the entrance, bending the naked branches of the trees. The sky is somber grey and constant rain is keeping the... Sign in to see full entry.

Extreme Changes Can Kill

I can't believe the sun is shining, that it is 74 o outside, that my windows are wide open letting in some fresh air. I'm enjoying it while I can, for snow is again in the forecast with a very extreme drop in temperature. Can you see the little squares in the sky of the picture. I just took the...

Diversion Comes In Strange Forms

The world's largest Cheeto found in a bag is now enshrined on a velvet cushion under a glass dome in a restaurant in Iowa It is corroborated to being the largest by a certificate from the company itself, Frito-Lay. Why does anyone care? Why doesn't someone just crush the hunk of junk food under the... Sign in to see full entry.

Doing It Right

Pain perdu is a great love offering for a special-occasion breakfast/brunch for special people in your life. Nothing else is needed, except fresh strawberries, perhaps some crispy bacon strips or some spicy link sausages, and a pot of hot coffee. I learned this some years back from The Barefoot...
