Good morning kid!

Listening to the rain…

11:22am Phil 

Good morning! Just back from church, now for a little brunch followed by a vigorous walk through the hills, hang a fan and then settle in for football. Nice sunny day here

8:47pm
Doggies! I never knew there are other sled dog races leading up to the Iditarod. They’re in the midst of the “Copper Basin 300” this weekend… fun doggie and musher photos.

Big manatee news

January 9, 2016 Saturday

10:38am
Big news for a big animal! The beloved manatee has made enough recovery progress that is has been proposed to be reclassified as threatened (a less critical category) instead of endangered.

11:47am
Good morning kid!  Have a super time out and about today!  

I’m off to see Mom in rehab.  Whee!

11:50am Phil 

Good morning!   Enjoying a rainy day in the countryside. 
Enjoy the day!

11:56am 

Psst…if you were here I’d have other ideas of things to do on a rainy day

12:01pm Phil 

That’s also a great way to spend a rainy day

12:49pm
Mom eating franks and beans – sitting up! She looks much better.

Oh joy. If they are gonna squished, they should be squished around a spurting dick

The Egg

12:41pm 
Good afternoon!   Hope it’s warming up down there.  

I seem to be over the worst of the stomach bug, but worn out.  Hubby has it now…was up every hour with stuff coming out of one end or the other.  Bleh. I’m staying home again.

1:18pm Phil 

Yuck! It’s still pretty cool but better.  

Hope you feel better!

Keysmart

January 4, 2016 Monday

10:32pm
Hubby gave me a very nifty present – thought you’d like to see.  

It’s called Keysmart – a minimalist key organizer that puts them into a Swiss Army Knife-like metal holder.  So they don’t jangle or poke holes in my pocket or purse, and fit into tighter spots.  It has a little square hook on the end so I can add it to a lanyard or to a clip in my purse, or add my car key fob.  I got a blue one.  I adore it!  

The entire Grommet site is full of “better mousetraps.”
