Chuckle for the day...


An old tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well fed belly that he had a home. He followed me into the house, into the kitchen, and up on the couch.
An hour later he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, resumed his position on the couch, and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar, 'Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.' The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar, 'He lives in a home with ten children. He's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

An Ohhh Soooo Cold Munchkin!!

Michael took the blanket I was wrapped up in and was playing the cold little boy!! Doesn't he look pitiful?



Jake and Michael.
I was playing with my flash settings. Full strength flash was washing them out so I turned it down to a -2, lol...and I got this...a bit too much but I loved Michael's face...

Chuckle for the day!

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes.
We decided to grab a bite at the food court.
I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him.
The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange,and blue.
My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time.
When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked,
"What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response;
knowing he would have a good one.
And in classic sick style he did not bat an eye in his response.
"Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."
Ha Ha Ha...Hope I made you smile!!

A walk on a cold winters day!

Michael has been watching too much television lately and playing too much X-box...So I've been offering diversions to get him away from that dratted TV!! This morning it was a walk on a VERY cold winters day!! We bundled up and took off. Instead of taking my camera we took Michael's little HP point and click....
Michael running to catch up to the cows and Jake stopping to check something out! This is the first time I've taken Jake for a walk without him on a leash and he did fairly well.

Michael looking for tracks and Jake looking for smells.

Ahh Haa....Momma I found a track!! We have a whitetail deer track inside a Momma Cow track!! Good eye Michael!!

Jake sitting pretty!!

Michael took the camera away from Momma and took some photos of the cows!! He was further back but I cropped the photo so you could see the cows, LOL....He does pretty good with his camera!!

Not bad for a little point and click, much easier to carry and lighter...

We enjoyed our cold walk and Michael found lots of tracks...We didn't go far as Momma's hands were cold from having to fix Michael's gloves, put his sock back on and handling the camera...time to warm up and maybe a hot cup of cocoa!!

Spoiled Rotten Males!

My husband and son are spoiled rotten!! Michael wanted pizza today, after my “yummy” meal at the Chinese restaurant, and I told him NO! He had just eaten and I was not buying him a pizza and I was going to cook a roast for dinner. Well when we got home he called Daddy and pleaded with Daddy to bring home a pizza!! Grrr….I told Daddy NO! Absolutely NOT!! Well guess what??? Daddy brought Michael home a pizza, grrrrrrr!! Then Fred takes a shower, eats his roast for dinner and literally “PLOPS” down in front of the Television!! Doesn’t take care of the food, doesn’t get his son something to drink, doesn’t clean up or do the dishes….Just sits in front of the Television!! UGH!! These males here are spoiled rotten…Somehow, Somewhere I have turned into a Maid…Not a Wife, Not a Mother but a full blown MAID!! I blame it on myself I have created two MONSTERS!! Are Wife-Mother-Maids allowed to run away, LOL...is it possible? Can it be done? I have a feeling they would just follow me!! So I suppose I'll just stick around here, maybe find a pair of ear plugs and scrapbook to my hearts content!!
Uhhh, What's that? Ehhh? I can't hear you DEAR!!!

On Relevant "Logic"


On Relevant "Logic"
. .Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in the U.S.A. lately; illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida



Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.
+Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.
+Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.
+Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?

Michaels photos from our Trip North!

I totally forgot to check Michaels camera! He had some interesting photos and I put them into a slide show to share with you!!

I just love seeing the world from his point of view, he makes me laugh!!

One Strange Puppy :o)

It's late and I should be in bed but I am sitting here laughing and no one to share the laugh with...it seems we have one VERY strange PUPPY!!
Jake has run of the house at night and he likes to lay in strange places and in a strange position...
1. He has to lay somewhere where he has something to lean up against.
b. Hallway wall
c. Bathroom closet door
d. Wall next to the bed
2. He lays on his back leaning against the said sturdy object (aka: Wall), with back legs tucked up and front legs stretched out...
Every time I see him I just stare and then start chuckling...I finally decided tonight to snap a photo as he was just too funny...he looks comfy and seems to love his nightly sleeping ritual. He doesn't do this during the day only at night...Silly Puppy!!

Ahhh Jakers life would be so dull without you!!
