My Little Town
Only in my hometown do we celebrate Labor Day with Goat Chip Bingo and these dancers. I worked the Goat Chip Bingo stand and this was my view of the dancers. The goats looked a bit better (none of them had varicose veins) but they don’t hav

No Title
Remember the days before cars came equipped with air conditioning? I do and it was no fun. We take auto air conditioning for granted, that is until something goes wrong. If you need repair or replace your car’s air conditioning, here’s

My Big Backyard
Hubs decided to mow the acreage today as it’s nearly the end of summer and he wanted to be sure to be able to say he worked on a tractor this summer. Ex-farm boys have this thing about keeping up appearances. They still want to maintain their m

The Beauty of Online Car Insurance Shopping
Okay, I admit it. Shopping online is easier because you don’t have to deal with people. Am I getting grumpy in my old age. Probably but it is true. It is so easy online to research prices, companies and do a quick and easy cost comparison. Why

Thinking of Taking a Cruise?
My family is currently contemplating taking a cruise - the whole extended family- not just my kids and hubs. Whether or not that might technically be defined as a “vacation”, it would be a cruise to remember. Ah-hem. One of the places we

Custom Framing
A few anniversaries ago, our kids gave us a beautiful epic poem that described our marriage through their eyes. (It is 6 pages long. As I said, it was an epic poem.) For a couple of years I didn’t know how I was going to preserve that as I didn

I Might Steer You Wrong
This is the cross that my son got at a work camp about 15 months ago and that he is still wearing. It is huge, very conspicuous and bears a dead gang member’s name on it as a memorial and reminder to pray for homicide victims. It was made by a

Scribblerchick's Movie Dish
I review movies with irreverence and humor, and an eye towards whether or not kids would like them or benefit from seeing them. I've been a movie fanatic all my life and studied film in college, but I hate pretentiousness in film reviews so you won't - July 31st, 2008
