Several customer had walked in and asked if the parade was canceled because they had said there was no mention of it on CJLS. I was kinda surprised too [...]

Seems like no matter what we do back there it just still looks like crap. Had it excavated to flatten the yard out, raked it and planted seed. Watered it. Didn’t grow. Seeded again, still nothing, just some weeds, alders and thorny wild rose bushes. So we gave up, something [...]

My daughter’s doctor and 4 others are leaving town by the end of this year or early next year, thus leaving 1000s of people without a family doctor. It’s very disturbing how these doctors come and goes when the kids or family had already settled in with them and build a repertoire and warmth [...]

Chloe loves her story books almost as much as her regular toys, usually requiring at least 2 readings before she’ll go to bed at night. She’s not much into the lengthy fantasy stories yet although she watched a couple of the Harry Potter movies recently and enjoyed those. Soon it’ll be time to [...]

Chloe was a princess this year for Halloween for a party she went to and for the school dress-up thing too. At night it was too cold to just wear the princess dress though so she went out as a bunny again. Her costume from last year still barely fit her. As [...]

Here’s a little gem I just had to share. A few months ago while Jan was still in the hospital, I took Chloe to visit her and she asked the nurses for some paper to draw on. She drew all sorts of things as usual, houses, people, flowers and stuff. And this, [...]

Note to self: mow the damn lawn more often! After 3 or 4 weeks the grass in our front lawn was getting to be very long, I figure we could have made a bale of hay out of it. Normally it only takes 10 or 15 minutes to mow, this time took a [...]
