I just love a good zoo!  Some of my favorites are The San Diego Zoo and the Cleveland Zoo — and if you ever have the chance to take the safari ride at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom — Do it!  It truly feels like you are on an African safari adventure as you wind around… Read More »

I spent some time this past weekend installing a rain water catch system for our shop building.  The new system will gather water from the roof of the building and route it to an elevated rain barrel.  The barrel then supplies water to Lauri’s potting bench and the sink in my shop.  I like the… Read More »

Not long ago I saw this mug of the poor guy, sitting on a cloud in heaven thinking… “Wish I’d brought a magazine.”  I know… it is supposed to be funny, but I actually find it quite sad.  I believe all too many people harbor the opinion that Heaven will be… well… rather boring.  Perhaps… Read More »

We bought a rock this week.  Yep… you read that right… a rock.  A big rock… but still just a rock. We have a series of large sandstone rocks that form steps down a steep part of our back yard, and the area needed one more step… hence the big rock purchase.  So, the seller… Read More »

So, what are your favorite days?  No… I don’t mean, “Friday and Saturday”… I mean what are your favorite days from your life?  Perhaps it is the day you were married… or the first day of retirement… maybe it was the first day of that vacation of a life-time… how about the day you graduated… Read More »

Have you ever had to do something that just really required two people to do right?  Kind of frustrating, isn’t it?  There have been so many times in my life where I thought… if I just had 3 hands I could do this, but unless I have lived in the shadow of Chernobyl for a… Read More »

Well would you like to hear about another PS adventure that I had this week?  I needed to take my tractor to a John Deere dealership in Monroeville to get it serviced and some minor repair work done.  So on Monday morning I loaded it on my trailer… with a bit a trepidation.  My 1025r… Read More »

Well, I did something controversial this week.  Some of you might even say that I did a bad thing.  What will someone think?  Maybe you hurt feelings?  Would it be considered unloving?  What Would Jesus Do, for crying out loud!?  This week… drum roll please… I “unfriended” someone on Facebook.  Actually, since I am confessing… Read More »

Conspiracy Theories!  Who loves them?  Was there a second shooter at President Kennedy’s assassination? Is there an alien spacecraft at Area 51?  Does our “under-water-ally Nessie” live in Loch Ness?
