Before – old, broken cinder block planter After – a little bit of dirt that we’ll power wash away Before – West wall flower bed is full of thorny bushes After – Ready for the rototiller(or whatever we can borrow) If the weather is good, I’m going over tomorrow afternoon and do some pressure washing.

See, I started right out with full disclosure like a good blogger should. While I’m disclosing, I have to admit that my feelings about this movie are not going to be the same as fully insured Americans. They think they are insulated and safe. I am uninsured. When Tommy turns 18 in a year, he […]
Did you watch the video above? I gave Doug a week to post the video and tell his version of the story, but he’s been hanging out with the conspiracy theorists all week, so I’ll try to explain the video. Last weekend, we went out to get started on the clearing of the flowerbeds in […]
If my children (and dog) could have just one toy in the summer, the water hose would be the winner.

He is unwilling to even consider trading any of his books, so he’s not getting any new (to him) books. Yes, […]
An old story for everyone in Knoxville.
We have generously been given two tickets to see “Sicko” this Friday. Who should go? A. Doug & I – Would require grandparents to babysit. Grandfather would disapprove of our outing, complain about the filmmaker and continue his efforts to Republicanize the children all night. B. Doug & Tommy – Might help with our efforts […]
