I understand Vince's thinking . . probably. We have a hard time keeping two vehicles running because we don't drive them enough. Last Thursday I put the battery minder on my car. Sunday I picked up groceries in Vince's car. I get groceries every two weeks so that works to keep the Honda battery charged but tomorrow, I have to hook the Highlander up to the battery minder again. I do not like doing ...
A Bit of Snow
This isn't much snow but it has wreaked havoc on the roads and highways. At a little after 9 a.m., I heard that in the Joplin area, there had been four roll over accidents within an hour and there are so many people who have slid off roads that police are not able to respond to all of them and are trying to get to the injury accidents or those blocking roadways. I heard last night that ...
A Thief Among Us
It's funny when you're really close to your animals, you know . . sometimes . . what they're up to without even looking at them. With Speck, I could tell when he was up to no good by his mannerisms.

Very Little Progress

That would explain why I have days when I get so much done and then days when I get so little done. I can't blame this on Vince. I can't blame it on anyone . . I'm the only one here! Monday I got several loads of laundry done. That's another thing . . with just me here, I wash ...
Floss & Fabric Search
I am not complaining. I am not frustrated. I've accepted finding fabric and floss as a challenge and you know how I love a challenge. But, every good challenge takes a lot of time! I'm only writing this because we all know about the challenges of finding the things we use every day but for those who don't cross stitch, dang it . . you need to know what the cross stitchers are dealing with! ...
Chicken Tacos for Wednesday
I had meant to finish the Honey Sesame Chicken post this morning and got sidetracked so I'm sorry these two posts are back to back. The chicken tacos, beans and rice were absolutely delicious and better than anything I've eaten out . . I was going to say lately but I haven't eaten out lately. Nothing on that plate was neon green as it appears in the photo. It's overcast outside and the ...
