In between storms.

Looking at this you would think these two cats actually like each other.

Ha! A cold day you-know-where when that happens.

It is very difficult for B-man to throw anything away. And I mean anything. For any one else these boots would have been trashed several years ago.

The corn and the okra have been transplanted. It doesn't look like much right now but we're keeping our fingers crossed.

What???

Doesn't everyone have a boat-dock ramp in their front yard?

No one can ever say this man doesn't work hard.

First mow if the season. We always get excited for Spring to get here with the warmer weather but it would be nice if it didn't cause the grass to grow so fast.

My front tooth cap came off last night. This was supposed to be a temporary fix until I make it to the dentist, who happens to be closed until Monday. I was one of the lucky ones that this stuff didn't work on. Wonder if super glue would work??

First BIG storm of the season. The live picture, a tornado that kept trying to form and touch down. Thankfully it didn't.

Just like the good 'ol days. I think it's funny though, since companies know that people like this stuff why did they change it in the first place?? Probably so they can 'bring it back' and charge 3x more for it.

We kept saying we were going to start walking in the early evening when it wasn't so cold out.




And we did.




For two whole days.

Traci and I left for just a few minutes today and when we went outside Rocky followed us to the door. He has NEVER done that. Then he sat there and 'meowed', guess he wanted to go with us. Then when we got home, about 15 minutes later, he was still standing there waiting for us.


Strange cat.

That was fast!!

My 'extreme' coupon shopping trip. These are the large size bags of M&M's and I got all of this, 8 M&M's and 8 Snicker's Easter Eggs for $1.06 after coupons. So much fun!

This was going to be an "I'm not ready for summer, I hate bugs"

picture but then I saw how this turned out.

Gotta admit, it's kinda cool looking.

The start of home-made fajitas.
These are the only kind of fajitas I have ever had,

I've never had them at a restaurant.

Voting day on American Idol. This year they have it set up where you can vote on the computer. I like this way better.

Going to try for a small garden this year, just to see how we do. Corn, okra, green and red peppers. Fingers crossed.

I made a quick trip to Miami to pick up Traci

and found this on my camera when I got home.

I love these little surprises.

My new favorite treat.

I bought quite a few of these, they make wonderful milkshakes

but then I started drinking them 'plain'.........so good!

This has been my 'new' favorite movie the past couple of years. I found the book online for about $4 and what's surprising, not that I bought a book but that I actually read it!

The first of the month picture from the deck post. The grass is a bit greener and the trees are starting to sprout leaves. Still awful muddy though.

Seems like everytime I turn around it's time to get my teeth cleaned.

Keri getting her hair done by her big sister Mandi.

I've been getting stumped on what picture to take for this project and there are plenty of suggestions around the web. This one is, take a picture of a plate. I've had this platter, a bit larger than a regular plate, for many years. I also have the sugar, creamer and butter dish. I LOVE this 50's space-age pattern!

I remember when I was a kid my mom would not buy sweetened cereal, said we couldn't afford it. The only kind of cereal we had were Corn Flakes, Cheerios and Wheaties. Those plain cereals are B-man's favorite but I don't buy them very often because these days they cost about twice what the sweetened cereal costs.

Traci and I went to Joplin to do some shopping and when we came home I took old Route 66. Saw this place in Baxter Springs. We always go through this town at night when everything is closed, I think we need to plan a day trip soon.
