Went to Town & Brought Home 3 Black Cows
Comments (13)I would, but can't afford the vet bills! I used to hop the fence to the pasture next door and scoop up "patties" by the buckets full and put that in my compost. In fall I would pile it on the veggie garden and till it in and then pile on some more. By Spring it was awesome. I cannot hop fences anymore - sigh...and the scooping kills me. Raking too. I used to clean out people's stalls and barns...no more doing that either. The thing is, it leaches out as fast as I can pile it on. If I could lasagna all year round, it would be best, but that is almost impossible for me to do anymore. Thanks for the suggestion though. I will TRY to do that again. That is all I can do - right? Clouds still building and flying over us and no rain, at least not here. It just goes elsewhere and rains. While watching the Chris Mathews show yesterday on MSNBC I saw that it was raining like crazy outside his window. I was so envious! Tomorrow we will pull the old well pump and replace it and that will help. At least I will be able to run the water all day long without it continuously shutting off. Running up and down the stairs to the basement all day long every day to flip it back on has just worn me out. I am glad you got a little rain. Here are some pics of my peaches that I managed to get thru this heat. Water, water, water. Peaches and Gird Grapes - it took a lot of work but got some grapes too. These were grown from a cutting, the original vine was from my GG-Grandfather Gird's vines in California. It was named for him. (Girdii) I am proud to have them growing for me. Tasty little grapes. Grannie made jam with hers. I don't get enough for jam, so just enjoy them fresh. Today I am going to be canning peaches and tomatoes again. One of my big Beefsteak tomatoes. Yummy!...See MoreThe Bachelor
Comments (20)This is the first Bachelor I have watched since Trista and Ryan. It is kind of like watching a soap opera. My Aunt got me hooked this season. Last night I think he let the best one go. He didn't pick Naomi and it was more than likely the dead dove incident. I wouldn't pick Molly because that whole hat deal at her parents was a bit much for me. Melissa? I am undecided about her. He is hung up on not meeting her parents I think. Get over it...it isn't their style to be on national tv. But I think I will be pulling for her now. Him? I don't find him that attractive. And if he goes with DeAnna from the last season, I will be disappointed. She had her chance (I didn't watch that one) and she is coming back around because her choice on that one didn't work out? Hit the road Jack....See MoreBachelor Pad on a tight budget
Comments (14)Furniture with my kid (grown) in mind stays fairly basic. And most of the time he just doesn't care about style, more his personality than interest. The big deal is having one chair that is his alone. A bed and dresser, plus a desk for computer stuff. The desk usually ends up in the livingroom or the dining area in apts. Not even sure if they use a dining table. And as other's mentioned less is more for the single guy. I really like the simple lines in the photos from the link. Once he gets into an apt. (which probably can't be painted), perhaps a shopping trip for linens, dishes together. He really needs to be part of this since it will be his place. If you could get him on a couple of the shopping sites, let him identify patterns/color in bedding, etc. May help to identify colors ahead of time. But for a guy I see gray/red with the couch. You are wonderful to do this for him. When my son got his first apartment it was Target for essentials, we did in in one shopping trip. I was able to give him furniture, but the one thing that has stayed with him through the years was the darn reclining leather chair with separate foot stool. I doubt if this will ever go away. Have two Army kids, but ask if your Marine wants a "Love ME" wall. If you know of anything he has pertaining to his enlisted time...pics, medals, uniform....this is their wall. They should be framed and created into a single area. I framed half dozen important photos and a deep frame for his top coat, added flag that says "Proud to have Served" with a number of other items of meaning to him which can't be framed sitting on a shelf below. Secretly, I think all soldiers go for this (they're the ones that named it). Thier admission to such usually happens when one least expects it. My oldest son is in Kuwait right now. Other served in Desert storm. Remember to thank the soldiers personally when you happen to see one. They don't hear it much and are truely thankful when a stranger hands them this small acknowledgement....See MoreAnyone watching the Golden Bachelor?
Comments (41)I'm kind of surprised at many of the comments above. I haven't watched the show, so I have only the advance commercials that I saw to judge it by. But I thought he came across as very conceited and egotistical in those commercials. And the women? Cheap and tawdry in spite of fancy clothes and heavy make-up. No, I don't watch any of the Bachelor or Bachelorette shows, so maybe that is a too harsh judgement. I tried to watch one or two a couple of times, but the whole idea of them seems almost kind of sick to me. That's just my opinion, of course, apparently a lot of people do like that sort of show, as they seem to go on and on and on. Rusty...See More- 2 years ago
