My grands have managed to break quite a few pieces of our Corel. The youngest was scraping her plate in the garbage after eating, with one of her utensils, then she's toss the eating utensil in the garbage too. I've bought cheap replacements to fill the gap, until they move out. Then I'll get...
When the numbers of important papers got to be so numerous, we bough a filing cabinet, and some folders. It's a lot easier to manage them, and quickly find what you need, when they're filed.
When I was young, we used comment that St. Petersburg Florida was full of old farts, usually driving big, heavy, Cadillacs. They were typically too short to see over the dashboard. Every so often, you'd see them sit up taller in the car, and a pair of glasses, and eyes peering just over the...
I finished installing the misting system in the coops today. The chickens all seem pleased. When I got done, and turned it on, there were happy clucks from all of them. Even with our high humidity it does help. Between the fans, and the misters, the coop was very tolerable, even though it...
Shad, when I was growing up, most of the adults had pocket knives, even the women. My grandmother wore an apron, and carried hers in the pocket. Pocket knives are handy for quite a few things, but the best was when we'd head out to the garden, and pass a fruit tree. She would pick whatever...

Dh and I went to eat late yesterday afternoon (Cracker Barrel), and on the way back I noticed a sign that said German Shepherd puppies for sale. On a whim, we stopped in. We talked with the owner for quite some time. First off, the pups are at least 5 months old, and on the skinny side, with...
They can learn early as long as there is a lot of positive reinforcement, the training sessions are fun, and not too long at a time. Multiple shorter sessions work better than single longer ones. The allowance for age comes in when they get overly excited, as when you first return home...
Good morning Cafe. It's clear, and sunny for now, but will rain later. It's been raining off, and on after 3 pm for the past several days. That gives plenty of time to get things done in the mornings, and by the time it's so hot in the late afternoon, the showers cool it down.
My neighbor is a professional dog trainer. She uses our family to help socialize her dogs, and with the training. Here are a couple of the current dogs she's been working with. I got tons of kisses today. Maggie (Lab) goes back to her owners tomorrow. I have watched her grow up. Don't...
