On Sunday, we went up north for Jerry’s 50th birthday party. He got quite the interesting gift from his younger brother…we had to make sure the children were safely playing in the other room prior to him opening it up. […]
Generally, I’m not afraid of fluffy, ruffley concoctions. Generally, I am making them for Anya, though. I attempted to make myself a ruffley skirt, and it ended up being a bit too much. I started out with a rough idea […]
When we moved to the farm when I was three, we acquired a puppy. He was half Black Labrador, and half German Shepard. His momma (the lab) seemed like a sweet soul from what I understand. His daddy (the Shepard) was […]
