Pesky Black Widows Yet Again

By Carol on Sunday, August 29th, 2010 | No Comments

I went outside yesterday to throw some stuff in my garbage can and noticed a sparkly spider web attached to it. All my mental alarms went off because I know that web when I see it. Another dang-blasted black widow wanted to take over the area. If I hadn’t seen it, I easily could have [...]

Lizard’s New Clothes

By Carol on Saturday, August 28th, 2010 | No Comments

The little anole lizards you can see everywhere around here are cute. They also are good at eating bugs – roaches included. This guy is shedding off his old skin and getting a new outfit… he must have heard about the big sale at Dillards this weekend!

I’m a Jedi

By Carol on Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 | No Comments

I always wanted to see what it was like to be really strong… ya know.. like the guys on TV.. huh huh.. more power! So while I was at the Star Wars convention, I signed up to become a Jedi. I don’t know what was in that drink they gave me, but boy did it [...]

Zoey Meets Cloey

By Carol on Friday, August 20th, 2010 | No Comments

Cloey is a jumbo sized cat… like over 20 pounds of jumbo. Even living with me for almost 3 years didn’t put much dent into her weight. After re-homing her earlier this year, she found herself living with a hamster named Zoey. Normally, I think Zoey runs around the house in her little hamster ball [...]

Bathroom Project All Finished

By Carol on Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 | 1 Comment

The past month has been hectic around here. The bathroom off my bedroom was a mess and needed to be redone badly. I finally decided the day had come and I should bite the bullet and put up with the mess and intrusion. Here’s a picture taken just as the guys started tearing things up. [...]

May the Force Be With You

The Star Wars convention in Orlando over the weekend was certainly an ‘experience’! There were people dressed as just about any character you could imagine…. and these were just people attending, they weren’t working there. I left with some great memories, lots of pictures and a cool Storm Trooper tattoo! … about that tattoo: it [...]

Just Because She’s So Cute!

By Carol on Sunday, August 15th, 2010 | No Comments

Twiggy was posing for me the other day on the bench in my bedroom. It was like she wanted her portrait made because she was still there after I went back into the family room to get my camera. No reason to put this here other than she’s just so darn cute!

What Do You Do With All The Shells?

By Carol on Sunday, August 1st, 2010 | No Comments

Every time I took the kids to the beach this year, we always came home with a bag of shells. Morgan wasn’t too picky about which ones she put in the bag – just about every one was ‘take home’ material. Gavin and I had a ‘thing’ for beach rocks. We even played catch in [...]

Bird Watching

By Carol on Sunday, August 1st, 2010 | No Comments

Twiggy loves to watch whatever is happening on the deck. There’s usually something that catches her eye. She was sitting on the couch with me and suddenly jumped up and snuck to the window. A female cardinal was poking around less than a foot away.
