Month: May 2007

     Corin tagged me with this book tag meme.           1.  grab the book closest to you – I couldn’t grab the book closest to me, or the next or the next….they were all picture books and didn’t have nearly enough pages!!  I came close with the Westminster Confession of Faith (99 pages).  The next…

If you remember this post, you’ll know that I’m working on planning my menus as a way to reduce our grocery bill.  As I mentioned then, I’m working on stocking my pantry and freezer with sale items and then planning my menus based on what I have on hand. You’ll notice that three of the lunches…

     I used to read.  A lot!!!  I also posted reviews of books as I finished them.  What happened?  Our evenings spent reading have recently turned into evenings spent watching.       We discovered this boxed set of BBC Dicken’s movies at our local Costco a few weeks ago.  With six movies, each running about six hours…

Opening the pool!!!  We had some really hot weather late last week and earlier this week.  The temperatures were flirting with triple digits.  This last Tuesday Copper decided to open up the pool.  Of course, as things would go, one of our filter hoses had become brittle over the winter months and sprung a few…

Finishing up my 2nd week of the month jobs today.  I took down the filter in the air return in the back hall and took it out to be washed.  We have three of these in our home, and they are all located in different parts of the house.  Because I use a simple spread…
