This story is embarrassing. But it's also so damn funny that I can't not share it. It's been two three years since I last harnessed up my mini horse for a drive. (This is Laura by the way, not Lois.) He recently came back to my house from Lois' for some "retraining". That means he... Continue Reading →
We’re Baaaaaaack!
Losing Cook Dollar Barn was one of the worst experiences we have lived through. It wasn't just a store; it was an important social hub for the Pajari Girls, and our little town, too. Every day, the list of people and things we miss gets longer. And when people told us that there must be... Continue Reading →
Rooster Noodle Soup
I am very nervous around poultry. (See "Guinea Monsters From Hell") And I used to hate cooking. So this Martha Stewart-esque-ness is new to me. I have been growing, canning, cooking, drying and freezing food a lot more the last few years. Now, being unemployed AND on the Low Child Support Diet has encouraged me... Continue Reading →
Weekly Photo Challenge: Delicate
It's easier than you might think to forget that snow is delicate. We of the northern climes spend months cursing it, shoveling it, salting, plowing, and bragging/worrying about driving through it. Last night, though, I lay in the snow for a moment, trying to improve my attitude about winter. It only took a few seconds,... Continue Reading →
PowerBall Christmas Shopping List
How fun would Christmas shopping be if I won the lottery?? (Seriously, follow the links--they are half the fun.) My Big Sister Lois would get a yak, which was Rachel C's great idea... ...and a Hippopotamus For Christmas. Real ones. Complete with enclosures etc. And enough money that she could stay at home on...

Goodbye Mr. Stinky Droolface
We said our final goodbyes to Stinky on Friday, when it became apparent that the cancer was hurting too much for the pain meds, and he started throwing up. There are so many things I want to say about this gentle giant, but for once I'm pretty much speechless. Here's to the world's biggest lapdog,... Continue Reading →
Mr. Stinky Droolface Part 2
If you're raising your hand (because you fell behind,) here's Part One. Long story short, Mr. Stinky Droolface seemed to be in good spirits today around lunchtime. Got him to eat, and he still insists the water bucket outside tastes much better. He isn't using his right hind foot much, but he made the rounds,... Continue Reading →
Mr. Stinky Droolface
"Stinky's getting to be a Grampa Dog," my sister pointed out two years ago when gray started showing in his muzzle and he started limping like me on rainy days. Impossible. In my head he is still a puppy. He's 180 lbs of drooling, woofing, farting Mastiffosaurus Wrecks, so it's not his size... I guess... Continue Reading →
Eight Great Uses for Plastic Spiders
1. Good Parenting: Encourage spawn to clean their rooms more often by hiding a big one in their bed. Place it close enough to the top layer of detritus so they will see it. She still cusses and hits me when I bring it up. Tears still run down my leg when I remember that... Continue Reading →
Weekly Photo Challenge: BIG
The Weekly Photo Challenge asked that we write about what "Big" means to us. I chose one of my sister's dogs, Jai. He lives at The Funny Farm and is a rescued Great Pyrenees PUPPY (14 months, 120 lbs). Jai is short for Ginormous, White, Slobbering Dog. Think puppy brain in a pony-sized body....He digs...
