We dropped BD off at camp this afternoon. She’ll be having a high old time till Friday with swimming, crafts, zipline and Bible study. Meantime, Mr. B and I are FREE!!!
Well, not quite free. He still has a job. In fact, he’s going to Milwaukee again tomorrow.
And guess who’s going with him?
So tonight we both had to pack, [...]
As I’m sure you know by the previews and ads, this movie is full of action and special effects. It stars Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, and some other people. The story, of course, has been updated, since H. G. Wells wrote the original in 1898. Not that I’ve read it.
Despite Tom’s recent antics, I must [...]
Next time I want a clementine when I have a partially-healed paper cut on my finger, I will put a Band-Aid on the paper cut before peeling the clementine, thus avoiding the Acid Sting Reaction.
A Syracuse man has been arrested for unlawful surveillance. He was caught using his cellphone to take pictures up a woman’s skirt, and hundreds of similar pictures were found on his phone. You can read all about it here. Given the nature of the photographs, locating victims will be difficult. So [...]
The other day BD and I ate the first ripe tomatoes out of our garden. We never seem to have any luck with the full-sized varieties, so this year we planted four cherry tomato plants. With any luck, by the end of August we’ll have enough ripe at one time to make a salad. For [...]
Last year a big storm knocked out our power just before the first pitch of the All-Star Game.
No such luck this year, and I got to watch the American League, which hasn’t even played real baseball since 1973, beat my beloved Nationals for the eighth year in a row.
…when I can’t think of anything to blog about.
Unless you want to hear about the fact that our little mermaid has a case of swimmer’s ear, just in time for the big end of season meets.
Or that I just discovered that HS owes a $4.20 fine to his college library.
Or that the litter box needs [...]
Scene: Our kitchen.
Time: Sunday morning, just before church.
Characters: Myself, Mr. B, BD and J (a friend of BD’s who’d spent the weekend).
We were just about ready to head out to the car when we heard an odd motorized noise. It sounded like it was coming from the ceiling fan in the breakfast nook. We turned [...]
Except she’s not. Because her favorite knife is missing. And she doesn’t have a clue where it went.
I am no longer the mother of a teenager. At least, not for another 916 days when BD turns 13, but who’s counting?
Since HS is in Virginia setting up for his next camp, I can’t wish him happy birthday in person. We did celebrate before he left for the summer, and we sent him a [...]
