Children are forbidden in this house.

I will make a call my youngest son and his dad are members of one of the tribes here in Troy.

I used to buy a bag of mixed nuts from the corner market to feed the squirrels. But they will eat anything at least it has you to feed it.

The duck bowl was getting busy. It was standing room only with the squirrels, the cardinal pair, the blue jay and the crows.

Please tell your family to be sure to do the anti-snow above-freezing-rain-only dance and not mistake it for a fertility dance. Please and thank you.

Children are slave labor

they do all of the things that I don't want to do...

they clean the coops, haul the wood, split the wood, and cook me food.

I love kids, such sweet little things.......


(and they haven't yet burnt down the house)

I still have a feeling that the return on investment, ie the ratio of slave labor to headaches, furniture replacements, clothing, food, etc just isn't worth it. There's nothing quite as relaxing as coming home from a hard day at the office and spending an hour taking it out on the wood in utter peace and quiet, and then returning to the house in which all of the items left somewhere were left somewhere by YOU and all your food is uneaten.

grandma.... she gave me the stinkeye when I said I could plug in the answering machine.... She wanted the cable guy to put it in... First of all he was working on the phone box...

I had told her many times that we could hook up the answering machine on a splitter after she got a new FREE telephone specifically for low vision and hearing she kept asking me to set up the answering machine on it and I said it doesnt have an answering machin.... why not.... because you didnt get one with an answering machine... During that conversation I tried to explain that we could use her old phone and answering machine combo just as an answering machine... I gave up after a while of being logical.

So today I insisted that I could do it and all I needed to do was get a splitter. STINK Eye again.... I gave up but went to the hardware store... Part of her problem is she refuses to buy new furniture... but her little table/Lamp isnt big enough for an answering machine much less a telephone... she didint tell me this when she just gave me the stink eye.

Along with the parts to make the connection I bought a small wrought iron stand for a pot just the right size to fit back in that corner and hold an ANSWERING machine.... hee hee um hee.

Pork roast will make a few sandwiches and possibly some tacos before its done et.

Oh and I put the roast on thick slices of Onion... I am already smelling it carmelizing up



Ever make Onion Jam? Makes a nice topper for roast pork sandwiches.

I have about three softball sized Vidalia onions going to split em in half and slice em up to make half rings and saute em with a little butter to get em started and add just about a tablespoon each of brown and white sugar..... you cook them till they are nut brown.... Then you can keep them in the refrigerator about a month.... Dont last that long.... they are even good on toast....

can you tell I havent eaten all day?
