We already have a dog, though, which is at… Read More There is a pony in the Apple Computer Store. And nobody notices. There is a picture. And you can read all about it. You should read all about it. Here. By Hildie | Filed under Good Things 6 Comments Share We are still unemployed around here. Not fun. Tempers flare easily. But even with that there are still blessings. We know the Lord is watching out for us even though The Big Blessing (a great job) still hasn’t happened YET. Namely because in the last week: 1) Mister has gotten… Read More R.I.P ugly cheap faucet. This statuesque beauty has taken your place: Climbing around under the sink is hard on your back.  Not to mention a little oogie and claustrophobic.  But it’s ever so worth it.  Especially since the plumber who came to fix our water heater told me he charges… Read More I’ve been devoting all morning to these.

I happen to think Earth Day is pretty ridiculous. I think there is too much pollution and too much waste, but having a DAY where those ideas are forced down our throats?  To me it’s like Wal-Mart carrying organic food. All I can say is, “give… Read More We have lived in Austin for not quite three years.  We all adore it (well, I don’t know if the kids do but who cares what they think) and never want to leave.   One of our favorite things about Texas is just . . . that it’s Texas.  You… Read More
