What A Dirty Hole

I remember when going to the Zoo as a child was a fun experience, here in Minnesota we have two main Zoo’s, the closest one is free and has a large park, a beautiful conservatory, and now a small amusement park area attached, the other one is another 40 minutes south and quite expensive just [...]


A Horse Is A Horse Of Course

I vaguely remember the Mr. Ed show and theme song but I do remember the point was that all other horses were basically the same except for Mr. Ed who was a smart alec, talking horse. The new Land Rover ads must of found a relative of his, maybe a Great Grandson because the horse [...]


It’s Just My Oompa Loompa Smoking Crack

I think I have mentioned we have a swimming pool, for the last couple years we have had a small pool (12 foot round) and Katrein has basically taught herself to swim in it. This year Chad decided we were due for an upgrade, partially for Katrein’s growing ability and because we wanted to swim [...]


My Fabulous Little Girl!

I am pleased as punch *laughs* to announce the official launch of my daughters website! We have been talking about it, then getting ideas together, Markus of course designed it (awesome job Marko!) and now it is up and running, the collaborative work of Katrein and I is ready for the world. (It’s so cute [...]


It’s Not Just Me Anymore

Yeah seriously I am not the only one living like a rock star in this house anymore, I mean 52″ television, Xbox 360, fancy appliances and robotic vacuums aside the three cats are now getting a taste of the good life.
Yes I have three cats, and any of you with even one cat knows the [...]


Memories……

Lingering Joys- a poem-author unknown
The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers in the land,
The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains…
For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.
Not to many people know this but one of my greatest fears is [...]


Blogging Has Its Privileges

Yes thats supposed to be Membership, as in the Amex card slogan but for my purposes it’s really blogging that has gotten me things not a credit card. I am really amazed at how much fun I have been having and how much loot I have been acquiring just from the simple thing I love [...]


I Can’t Believe It’s Almost Here

Our road trip that is, Markus has been informing me of how little time we really have. With July almost over (where the heck did it go?) and August and September being the last two months to plan our trip I feel I am starting to panic a bit. I was going to buy tickets [...]


Where The Deer And The Antelope Play

Well I don’t think they technically have Antelope but they do have Elk and free roaming Deer at Fawn Doe Rosa in Wisconsin. It’s a place that I have gone since I was a child and I brought my son when he was little and now I bring Katrein every year, it’s kind of an [...]


Wordpress 2.6, Oh Come On Already

Well I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything this week but it’s been a real sh*t of a week so far. First off my leg has been numb on the outside and like a wild animal is chewing on the inside, of course I just kicked my usual 2 mile a day walk up to 3. [...]
