One Big Toad

By on Friday, July 30th, 2010 | No Comments

This is one of those bufo toads that get so darn big. They also secrete some kind of nasty poison stuff that you wouldn’t want to lick. I don’t intend to be licking ANY toads (or frogs either) but I did used to worry about these things being in my barn and my dogs trying [...]

My Bomb Shelter

By on Tuesday, July 27th, 2010 | No Comments

Apparently I had a bomb shelter built into my house all these years and didn’t know it. It was disguised as my shower. Look at how thick the concrete was on the walls. .. the the top of the shower is even thicker – 3″ to be precise. Two guys were working on if for [...]

SuperKitty and Jack

By on Monday, July 26th, 2010 | No Comments

I have a couple of stuffed cats. One of them has a mask and a secret zipped compartment, so it got named ‘SuperKitty’. The other one is named ‘Jack’ probably because I was watching Stargate when Gavin insisted on naming it years ago. The kids have always like playing with them. The other day, Morgan [...]

My idea of gator wrestling is with one about this size. Yeah Buddy – bring it on! These critters are scary looking even when they’re little. The best thing to do when confronting an alligator is to make sure you’re with people who you can outrun.

By on Friday, July 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

When I was a kid, I thought peacock blue was the most beautiful color in the world. And now that I’m a bit older, I have to admit that it’s pretty hard to beat the colors you find on the whole bird.

I Never Roll Out of Bed

By on Thursday, July 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

Morgan told me last night that she never rolls out of bed. That was right after I said, ‘No’, to her request to leave her cup of water next to her. I checked on the kids a couple hours after they fell asleep and look who was completely off her bed right where the water [...]

Weeki Wachee Mermaids Still Swimming

By on Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 | No Comments

We went to Weeki Wachee on Gavin’s birthday. Yup, just what every 6 year old boy wants to do – have a mermaid birthday! The promise of swimming in the springs that’s now called Buccaneer Bay made up for the show. He liked the turtles and fish that kept swimming around the mermaids the best. [...]

Which Is Cuter?

By on Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 | No Comments

Back to that old question: Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all? If anyone still thinks a squirrel is just a rat with a fluffy tail.. well.. I beg to disagree. Just look at those beady rat eyes and that pointy nose.

The Blurry Cat

By on Sunday, July 11th, 2010 | No Comments

Most of the time anyone who visits must think I have one cat and one cat-shaped blur. She’s the one who is running for cover as soon as I get company. So here’s a picture of Twiggy so you can see how cute she is. What you can’t hear are all the funny noises she [...]
