This guy needs to put this act on the TV show “Pet Stars” on The Animal Planet. There is no way that he wouldn’t take first place in a heart beat. I can’t imagine a dog doing all on his hind legs for over 3 minutes. Check it out.

Firefly is perhaps one of the greatest science fiction shows ever created. Although it ran for only one season, from 2002 to 2003, it has accumulated thousands of extremely loyal fans. Fan so loyal, in fact, that their intense lobbying earned the show a second chance as a feature film. Firefly can be described most [...]

My brother-in-law has agreed to take me to the local shooting range this weekend in an effort to show me what I need to do to learn how to shoot the 22 that my father left me years ago when he passed away. I have never learned how to shoot a weapon before and am [...]

I don’t know what I’d do without my coupons that I clip each Sunday. The savings is definitely worth the time and effort it takes to go through them all. They did just recently just raise the cost of the Sunday paper but it is still worth the price with the savings that I get [...]

I’m so glad to see that there is no a good supply of virtual girl games available to the female population. When I was growing up they were in very short supply and no one seemed to care. We basically enjoyed Pac Man and then when Ms. Pac Man came out we were totally surprised [...]

My hubby and I have always enjoyed watching the birds in our backyard. I can remember one year we video taped an owl that was perched on our bird feeder – he was there for a good ten minutes or more, hunting mice. We especially get excited when we see a bluebird; we don’t see them very [...]

I was thinking about buying some Subway tiles and painting some pretty flowers on them and use them as Christmas presents this year. A few years ago my mother-in-law decided to buy some new tiles from a local home improvement store to use as a back-splash all around her kitchen. She asked me to paint strawberries [...]

Sue’s moving to a new townhouse next month. She’s renting it with the option to buy. The townhouse is in pretty good shape, but she wants to personalize it by installing a really unique ecco mailbox. One of her hobbies is decorative painting, so she is thinking about buying either a Victorian style ecco v6 [...]

Sometimes I worry that I keep too many things from my past. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not such a big hoarder that I’d show up on those hoarder television shows! But I am, admittedly, a packrat. I just find it difficult to let go of things that I’ve owned. I don’t understand how I [...]

Several years ago I bought a Rubbermaid storage shed for our back yard. I asked my hubby to install it on a bed of gravel. But he decided that he’d just put it on the ground. As a result all of the shelves that I try to put on the walls keep falling down. When [...]

I can remember back in the 80′s when I was a newlywed, and my hubby worked for a local coin and stamp business. There was a financial crisis and all of a sudden people were selling their gold and silver like crazy! I can remember helping out at the store for several days (I can’t believe [...]

I’ve always been a firm believer that nothing good has come out of Texas. But I do have a close friend that moved to Dallas TX a few years back and she seems to be doing well down there. We keep in touch via weekly emails and I always enjoy hearing from her, she always [...]

With the popularity of skateboarding increasing, it seems to me that someone interested in starting a business around here, creating an indoor skateboard park might be a good idea. The weather isn’t warm enough for skateboarding year round; and the skateboarders would flock to an indoor park like bees to honey.The people who ran the [...]

Now is the time of year that my mailbox is full of catalogs from plant and seed catalogs. I love looking through them all, looking to see if there are any new and exciting plants that I could plant in my flower garden. I’m partial to perennials, and always mindful of deer resistant plantings. I [...]

I have to say that there are a lot of artists out in the world that just leave me scratching my head. My friend Brenda was telling me that she found a website where she could buy a variety of shepard fairey art. She was so excited about it, I was ashamed to admit that [...]

I really like the extra touch that window flower boxes add to a house. Over the years I’ve come to really notice the beautiful farm houses that have window plant boxes on their windows. One of our neighbors has a window box in every window of the house – even the second story ones! That house always looks [...]

I can remember as a child vacationing at my parent’s riverfront cottage on the edge of a golf course. My brothers and sisters and I used to walk through the wooded edges of the golf course and find the abandoned balls that golfers had hit in the rough. Then we would walk the course and [...]

I was thinking I might learn something new here, looking at this video about making paper roses, but when I started to watch it I realized that it was exactly the same thing that I did when I was a child! It brought back quite a few memories – as kids we made these with [...]

This year my family decided to create a major Christmas challenge. To come up with presents for everyone without buying anything! How do you think you could handle that kind of challenge? My response is to look at “trash to treasure” crafting. To use small pieces of fabric to make tissue box covers. Use scraps [...]

I’ve noticed that the pear trees are blooming, and I think that the redbuds are, too. I’m happy to see daffodils along the roadside – especially those in median strips between divided highways; that makes the roads look really nice! I’m certainly looking at my own flower garden with much anticipation about what flowers will [...]
