Not long ago, I posted about how the tie-rod on our truck had broken. Angels were looking out for us that day. Given our financial situation, getting it fixed was not even an option. The repairman had said it would cost close to $1400.00 and coming up with that kind of cash isn’t possible. We [...]

I want to put a personal face on the heroes of our country. This is our hero, my nephew, Christopher. We just got word that he will be going to Iraq the day after our youngest sons birthday. As with most of our heroes, he can’t wait to go and put his training to use! [...]

I had an offer to blog about aluminum kitchen cabinets. Would I put them up in my kitchen? You bet I would! In fact, I looked for that very thing when we added cabinets to the downstairs. I ended up building them from pine and using matchstick blinds on the wood frames for the cabinet [...]

When Slobo gets milk at our local Texaco every other day, he checks the latest color of the real estate brochures while he’s there. He told me about a talk show where they were talking about women’s bathroom porn. #1 was real estate lsitings. Who knew there were other addicts out there too? I’ve always [...]

We were looking around our neighborhood this past month and realized that over half of the homes that had sold in our fairly new subdivision were up for sale again. Many are offering – bad credit – no credit – 100% financing – no problem type sales. After talking with the real estate agent, (who [...]

Mom was telling me tonight about being invited to two baby showers and a wedding this past week. We thought it was funny that so many of these June events were taking place in July. One of the showers was for the new Grandma! Isn’t that a cute idea? So many Grandparents provide a ‘play [...]

Those of you who have read Sodapop and Slobo’s blogs lately, probably know by now what my MIL has had to go through with Countrywide Mortgage in Las Vegas, NV.

That’s what I keep hearing Slobo asking! Just about every year, we would go to Panama City Beach in Fla. Before I met Slobo, I used to run away to the beach whenever I had an extra 100 or 2 and a long weekend. I would go to either Panama City, Jekyll Island, the Palmetto [...]

A few days ago we had to get the kids’ antihistamine’s refilled. This time they managed to go until after the refills had expired – since last fall, I think. Having moved next to a 40 acre meadow a few years ago, we discovered all but Slo have allergies to meadow grasses. Even Flasher, our [...]

We knew we needed tires on our Envoy for awhile. That’s the reason we started doing paid blogging. Just Friday, Slo added it up and we finally had enough payments due to buy the tires when they paid at the end of the month. Yesterday, we found out it wasn’t the tires that were the [...]
