tuesday afternoon here in springfield illinois

amy’s birthday, way back at the beginning of the month…i can’t for the life of me remember why i took this picture.  maybe somebody else took it? lester doesn’t really look so happy here, it’s kind of like amy is squooshing him.  but...

brrr…*cough cough*

it’s weird to even think that i’m writing “brr,” when only yesterday it was 105 degrees. ok, not literally yesterday, but just a couple weeks ago…maybe a few weeks ago?  it’s was only 40 when i got up, and it’s a brisk 65...

optimal comfort

it’s a moot point right now because it’s too chilly to sit out there, but when i’ve been sitting in the comfy chair on the screened porch, chester and mollie have usually been right there, because they are people animals.  as opposed to lester, who...

happy labor day!

well, first of all, kevin was on the news YET AGAIN, but i didn’t put it up yet because, as previously mentioned, i’m VERY VERY BAD. so here it is – not quite as exciting, in my opinion, as the fencing video because kevin wasn’t the sole focus...

BAD, BAD ME!!!

i can’t really give you any explanation at all why it’s been so long since i’ve written on here.  i have had some free time, but just haven’t…written anything. so, all i can say is, BAD BAD BAD! one day last week randy called to say...
