Wildlife Encounters…..Ohhh, Ahhhh

Last week, during the kid’s school vacation, our local rec center set up a very cool activity at the school. Wildlife Encounters Zoo came and had an array of icky things to see and touch.
Our first beauty was an albino python. Apparently when they have no color they are actually yellow and white, [...]

Foolish…..

Ok, so I just figured out that WordPress now allows videos from Youtube. So here is my Foolish Pick of the Day………

Bloggin Goodness…

After running an unexpected errand an hour away from home this morning, and having one sick kid home…I worked on my mini home office (photos coming soon).
But being the ucky, rainy day that it is, I have to take more breaks, because the shoulder is just unbearable. During these breaks I have done what [...]

Genealogy SCORE!!!

Thanks to my step-cousin, Frank. I met Frank by way of Ancestry.com, and never knew there was a connection until he emailed me back. He had my grandfather, Gordon, in his family tree.
Frank’s mom was the second wife of my uncle, Robert. Small world! Well to my blessing, he is also [...]

Geeks unite!

Anyone with a son with any interest in building is going to have one thing in their house….millions of Legos. Now, I foster my 12 yr old wingnuts passion for building, and have since he started at the age of 4. But there comes a time when the Legos must be contained.

Helen Hegener, of Home Education Magazine, has written a blog [...]

Hike-A-Thon..whewww

Today was our Hike-A-Thon for Scouts. The purpose of this is, for the boys to raise some of the money they will need for summer camp.
I was planning on doing the 7.5 miles with my younger wingnut Tommy. But plans, as always, change, and you have to go with the flow. Because [...]

Bad, bad, bad…..

Ok, for those who read my blog (yes I have a few fans lol), you know that I am currently out of work due to a shoulder injury, as well as going back to school for medical transcription.
But what you don’t know is that I am not the best housekeeper, and apparently my attitude about [...]

Miss Smurf has gone home

I am sad to announce that my dear friend Miss Smurf (aka: Stephanie), had gone home to the Lord. It is sad for me, as a friend. Yet it is also joyous for her. She had been battling cancer for many years.
She inspired me to be a better person. She gave [...]
