It's been awhile since I've been here! Life has been pretty hectic lately, but now I find myself with some time on my hands so I can catch up with my TEG family :) Well, I guess the most important change I've had lately is that I'm currently unemployed. Don't panic though, it was voluntary. My...

It doesn't matter who likes what. I like kohlrabi, so I grow it. Dew likes beets (yuck) so I grow them. And as for telepathic units...don't go with the cheap ones. Sometimes it just keeps repeating the same thing over and over...

Thanks folks. Sorry I couldn't get pics posted sooner. I just got home from an overnight job in Pa. So far 56 hours this week and it's only Thursday. Probably be doing a lot of 60 hour weeks for the foreseeable future. Dew isn't home and I was wondering who cut the grass. Guess now I know...

Oh, and I know some people who would LOVE a set of those wine glasses!

On the original topic... From the National Center for Home Food Preservation: "Most commercial pint- and quart-size mayonnaise or salad dressing jars may be used with new two-piece lids for canning acid foods. However, you should expect more seal failures and jar breakage. These jars have a...

I'm not entirely sure where you're going with this Steve. Are you building a new house...or looking for recipes you can cook in the bathroom?

Water came on today. Had a few minor leaks, but all is fixed with the exception of one bad valve in the front bathroom vanity. I'll replace it tomorrow. We are moving this weekend. Finally.

Not getting rid of the cat. Not even an option. She never extends her claws or bites, hisses or growls. It's all in fun. I pick on her, she gives it back. That damn washing machine lid trick though...I tell myself that it was coincidence, that she was just creeping behind it and knocked it over...

Bermuda shorts and sandals!!

A while back Dew forced me to adopt a little kitten that was hanging around the house. I think the cat is still mad at me for not agreeing right away. And the war was on. Kittens are notoriously jumpy, so I took every advantage of it. However, now that Bubbles has gotten older, she has decided...

Out of curiosity, what type of church funeral would a Baptist church group protest??

As Dew said, this isn't our first rodeo. JB is the youngest of four, yes four daughters. I'm an old hand at this. It still hurts to watch them go from daddy's little girl to someone else's girl though. That's a pain you never get used to. :(

It's done. Finally fired up the furnace for the first time yesterday and it didn't want to start. I checked everything and found an old air conditioning wire shorting out the T-stat. Furnace is running fine now but testing revealed that the sequencers are not closing in the proper order. I'm...

The question was actually meant to be sarcastic. Any idiot who decided to go try to shoot up a red-neck gun range wouldn't get many shots off. That's why they choose schools. They aren't about to go somewhere that people can actually shoot back. Open carry laws are great, I prefer concealed...

The punch list is shrinking fast! The carpet is down and relaxing. I'll be stretching it next weekend. That will leave final trim out and floor registers, running a new circuit for the dishwasher and this job is DONE!!!:ya:ya:weee:ya:ya

Many years ago a very dear friend of mine was an exotic bird fanatic. I've handled many Macaws, as well as Mexican Double Yellow Heads and Cockatoo's, not mention the smaller birds like Quakers. Hand tame birds rarely bite, unless provoked or frightened of course. It just struck me funny how a...

Linemen came by and turned the electric on yesterday evening. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

So now I know how many acres it takes to keep me in onions for a year...No wonder I end up buying them year after year.

And before anyone freaks out, her shirt says Fitch, as in Abercrombe & Fitch.

Yep. He has his hands full. This pic is from a few years ago.
