40/365: Scream by h pants explosion (on creative hiatus-see profile), on Flickr School started for the Pie Dudes last week Wednesday, two days after we returned from a week long vacation in Ashland, OR and attended several plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.  More later.  In fact, that seems to be a bit of […]

When I asked (then emailed) for your input on the memory photo compositions, you came through and helped me with a big decision.  It made it easier to get the job done, as you can see with the end results I’ve posted below.  The size of the photos

Gee, that was quite a long “momentary absence” now wasn’t it?  Kind of like back when I was an AOL 1.0 user and they’d notify members of a system shut-down in “X” number of minutes.  Only their time clocks were much different than the rest of the world’s.  It could be up to an hour […]

The hubby and I are escaping for a few days before the Pie Dudes return home from camp.  I’ll be away from the computer (possibly) and most likely won’t be posting for a couple of days at least.  Enjoy your summer everyone! Z-dude on the mound.  Play ball! 

Hey all. I just got back from dropping the Pie Dudes off at their first residential camp (meaning they’re away from home on their own for a full week at camp).  It was a very, very long 10 hour drive.  Good news: I gassed up on the way back for an unbelievable $4.06 […]

Laughing Star by cindy47452, on Flickr Have you listened to a late night show and throughout the entire show found there was someone out in the audience whose laugh was shrill, or loud, or just annoying?  There’s some woman on Craig Ferguson tonight that just won’t stop with this annoying “weeeeaaaaaahhhhhh woooo” noise.  Makes […]

Hubby’s home today.  He said that when the smoke dissipated a bit, they found another fire that had been burning.  Approximately 2,500 acres have been burnt so far by that fire. Also, on the wire El Dorado county sheriffs are looking for information regarding a suspicious fire.  Apparently a vehicle was found at the bottom […]

I just read a post by a fellow MySpace buddy that gave suggestions on how to reach out and offer a helping hand to those affected by the wildfires.  The first item on the list was to call the local fire department and offer to man phone lines or deliver food.  It was, I’m certain, […]
