    Internets….sigh…. It all started out innocently enough. Last Tuesday I went to the Coshocton County Animal Shelter to pick up a coupon to get Superman’s kitten fixed. I have always fixed every cat I’ve had. I think it is just good animal ownership to do so. And whenever I go to the CCAS … Continue reading July 22

  My friend Deb posted her random Monday.   She suggested that we whine.   I generally don’t do that here on the Internets.   The people at home get to hear it.   I’m going to give them a break, so for your reading pleasure I’m gonna whine.   ~~  Weather!   It is cold, then … Continue reading 2/11

Do you remember August 2008? Neither do I. Fortunately I do have photographs, and that helps the failing memory. If you don’t remember the summer of 2008, the house across the street got a face lift. Since then nothing has happened.   The neighborhood thought that the house would remain empty, but this past week … Continue reading October 21

Sometimes I am baking when one or more of the girl’s friends are over visiting. It never ceases to amaze me when I hand them a beater to lick and they say something to the affect of “I’ve never licked a beater before.” Whaaaaa???? As far back as I can remember, my mom would hand … Continue reading September 14

I have always been a quick study. School was always boring because I only needed to be told once and I got it, so  I never studied. Ever. Well, maybe a bit in college, but that was because there were a lot of cute boys in the study group. It was in the 7th grade … Continue reading January 6

The house stood quiet for the rest of last week. I knew that they weren’t finished. I just knew that they ~~please, please, please~~couldn’t be finished fixing the house up. Mr. and Mrs. Fixit didn’t fail me. Sunday morning at 7:07am I heard cordless drills, drilling and hammers whacking. Please! 7am?? At 8 am, (I … Continue reading August 21

On my street there are 15 houses. 10 of them are middle class Victorian homes, and the other 5 are 1940-50’s ranch’s. All of the houses are well kept except one. It is a blight on the neighborhood, and anyone who has come to my house knows exactly which house I am talking about. Across … Continue reading August 4

It’s Friday and I am nosy. Given the choice, would you live in the city or the country?  and why? I have lived in Houston, Oklahoma City, a tiny place called Doe Run, way out in the boonies with Amish as neighbors, and towns of all different sizes. I much prefer the country.   It … Continue reading March 28

This past week, our ladies fellowship had a Christmas get together, so I made cupcakes with a marshmallow frosting. I have never made marshmallow frosting before, but it looked so good, and I just had to try it. You can try it too. It is easy. I’ll show you how! First you need to simmer … Continue reading December 17

I love old things….old buildings, old people, old furniture, old books. They strike a chord, deep inside me. This is where my son works. 99% of the buildings down Main Street are all well over 150 years old. This building is situated right next to the building I fell in love with the first time … Continue reading September 12

Every Saturday during the summer our town has a Farmer’s Market at our fair grounds. The boy likes to go, so generally I go with him. We like to hang out together. Anyway, yesterday they were holding a car show. I love old cars. I love just about anything that is antique. I like to … Continue reading July 22

Last week, Roscoe Village had their history tour for free. I like free, so atouristing we went. Roscoe Village was a port on the 308-mile Ohio & Erie Canal, which opened in 1832 and connected Cleveland to Portsmith. Work on the canal began in Cleveland to enable merchants to ship goods from the New York … Continue reading June 27
