Conductor or Farmer?

For three seconds, Harrison kept on this railroad conductor's hat, the rest of the day he hung out in his overalls and bandana. Our Halloween was pretty low key and we only had two sets of trick-or-treaters. H seemed more interested in raking the leaves than going to stranger's houses.

Mr. Fix It and Son

At last, we made a decision on the knobs for the bathroom vanity. Just a few paint touch-ups and some decorations and we'll be good to go. I hate the current mini blinds but haven't figured out what to do there. For my neighbor's sake, I'll keep them up until a purchase is made.

Recipe Catalogue

I found this old library card catalogue collecting dust in my in-law's garage. I'm old enough to remember using them and the dewey decimal system. With everything turning electronic, I still appreciate a hand-written note or hand-written anything. So I've decided to make this piece into a card catalogue of recipes. I thought it would be neat to pass down through generations. So if you want me to include your recipe, post it or better yet write it down on an index card.

Spooky, Scary, BEWARE!

Sorry to frighten you with our jack-o-lanterns. The "H" looks a little warped on the left side because there's an real slug crawling around in it. Good Eats is what he's thinking. The tongue sticking out is for our Florida friends who think they are master carvers. They gots nuttin' on us.

Please Wash Your Hands!

It's officially cold and flu season and everyone seems to be paranoid about catching something this year. This restroom is catering to left-handed, right-handed and taller folks for sudsing up. So please people remember to use soap when you wash your hands.

The Accidental Purchase

A couple weeks ago, we were craving pizza and decided to make a picnic of it. We ordered our favorite and had 20 minutes to spare (a lot can happen during that time with a toddler in charge). I've been wanting to check out one of my favorite boutiques across the street so this was the perfect opportunity. The boys joined me in the store and just when I was ready to go, I heard a CRASH. Harrison was holding a candle and Ryan held the pieces of a broken Halloween skull. We were embarrassed and told the owner we would pay for the item, ya know, you break it, you buy it. She said it was fine and not to worry about. So I picked out this necklace instead and I'll think of our shopping adventure every time I wear it.

Bumper Committment

There are the have's and the have not's, I'm a have not. I don't have any bumper stickers on my car and I can't imagine I will ever. I would think you have to feel pretty passionate about something to let the world behind you know what you're about. This car must have a VERY passionate driver . . . Got Weed? to Branson . . . maybe they get them for free . . .
