There exists an old, old legend that the fog can open doorways into other worlds, and if you aren’t careful when walking in the fog, you might step through and end up somewhere you don’t belong. I think foggy mornings can be a nice time to go for a walk, as long as it isn’t […]
Monday morning, and it’s time to go back to work. If you don’t have a job but are looking, hang in there. The economy is getting better, and you will find a job. If you have a job, I hope you are happy in what you are doing. I sure know I’m enjoying my job. […]
I had a great uncle that owned a farm. He grew apples. It was up in Michigan, and we visited there a couple of times when I was a kid. I don’t remember much of it, but I do remember the apples. They were good. Very good.
I usually see these kind of umbrellas stuck in a drink at a party, thus the name ‘party umbrellas.’ When I was little and saw these at my neighbor’s house, I thought they were for his daughter’s dolls to keep them dry in the rain. I didn’t think they would go with the uniform my […]
I had some great vegetables yesterday, mostly on my double-decker hamburger I had at the company picnic. Seriously, I’m eating more fresh vegetables now. My wife keeps buying pizzas with all these green things on them. Whatever works, I guess.
Time to mow the hay, I guess. Well, I really can’t guess. I don’t know when hay is supposed to be mowed. My great uncle had an apple farm that I spent a little bit of time at, but horses didn’t do much plowing or mowing there. Today’s jigsaw puzzle is brought to you by […]
It’s not fall yet, but I was reminded that it is coming when I was walking along a foot bridge through the woods and there were yellow and brown leaves on it. I’ve had the photograph in today’s jigsaw puzzle for a while, and the leaves helped me to decide it was finally time to […]
My kids had rag dolls when they were little. My wife made them. Later she made bigger frogs, and even bears. She made those out of old camouflage clothing, and called them “Cammy Bears.” Most she gave away, and some she sold. She still has some of them.
I took piano lessons when I was a kid. I never got very good at playing, but I did eventually become a piano technician. That’s what I mostly did until I joined the military and discovered computers. I still have all my tools, and one day I plan on buying myself an old piano and […]
My youngest daughter has her birthday today. Happy Birthday Marjorie! To celebrate, I baked a cake. Sorry it didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted it to. I also didn’t get the kitchen cleaned up as well as I liked. I’m going to say sorry for the second puzzle being a little dark in […]
Marq liked the watercolor paints the other day, but asked for something a little more complex for art students. I took a look around, and wanted to draw something, then paint it in, but my paint by numbers set was a few digits short of a frame. Yes, that is a bowling reference. Anyway, for […]
This lady is going crazy over our jigsaw puzzles! I wish! Actually I think she is just upset the merry go round she is on isn’t going anywhere, and judging by the dark circles under her eyes, she hasn’t had much sleep lately either. Either way she can be a bit of a challenge.
From Wikipedia: Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy; like Venice itself, it could more correctly be called an archipelago of four islands linked by bridges. Today’s jigsaw puzzle shows a side of Venice you don’t see in the movies. Yes, there are paved streets there too. It’s not all canals, and […]
Step right up and test your skill. Can you find the monkey with the purple belly? How about a stuffed green frog? You, there. Yes, you, sitting in front of the monitor. Come here a second. “Do you have what it takes to work a puzzle like this? Come on, take a chance, and you […]
Monday’s Daily Jigsaw Puzzle I always called these things “C-clamps” growing up. Now I hear they are also called “G-clamps.” Now I’m getting confused. What happened to D, E and F? Yes, I SEE the clamp, but GEE, is it clamping? Oh, the heck with it. I’ll use duct tape instead. It works better when […]
I’ve owned some big cats over the years, but usually they were just fat. I’ve never owned one as big as these are in today’s jigsaw puzzle. I would hate to have to pay for their food. They look to be almost as expensive to feed as a teenager. I should know, I’ve raised my […]
Bahayskie Gardens are located in Hayfa, Israel. I visited the city many years ago, but didn’t have a chance to visit the gardens. Perhaps next trip. I just checked my visitor logs, and I see that I have about twenty five visitors a day from Israel. Welcome to the site!
Yes, we have flowers planted in our garden. Smelly ones, to be honest. My wife planted them to keep the rabbits out because they keep trying to eat our vegetables. For some reason they like the lettuce and the carrots, but not the broccoli. I figure, if the rabbits won’t eat it, why should I? […]
Do you want to know the best way to spend your lunch time on a Monday? (Besides playing one of my jigsaw puzzles, that is?) Go for a walk in the country, or in the woods. Enjoy nature before it becomes a paid attraction. An open gate is an open invitation. Just watch out for […]
Well, my diet of a few less burgers, fries and chips replaced by a few more fresh vegetables seems to be helping. I have a bit more energy, and I think I’m losing a few pounds. I’ve also added more fruit, including my latest addition, dried blueberries. I found out that blueberries are really good […]
