We are all some sad Stones. Our Chad, ET Pumpjacks baseball player, was injured early in the Friday night game. Because of his injury, we knew it was possible that he would be leaving us. And he is. Tomorrow. Fortunately his injury will heal in time to play in the fall. But we are sad [...]

Let the wild rumpus begin!
My kids dearly enjoy the book Where the Wild Things Are. Some time ago when Saw Wayne was younger, I heard Sammy tell him “I’ll eat you up I love you so, Saw Wayne!” So when the kids and I joined our ML group for the Lunch Bunch on Thursday at our local DQ, that [...]

A good reason to visit Nacogdoches
I finally was given a great reason to head down to Nacogdoches, Texas – The Texas Blueberry Festival! Me and the kids, along with my Mom, loaded up this morning and headed South. My first stop (after 2 potty breaks for Sammy!) was the Sunshine Mart (hoping for a potty break myself). This was where [...]

On with the letter “A” and a dead mouse
Why is it that we seem to continue to find dead things? This morning I got us ready to wash our car in the front yard (a first for me and the boys) and what does Sammy find? A dead little field mouse. I’m guessing one of our neighborhood cats left it behind. I have [...]

The new security officer for baseball
Like father, like son. Sammy got ahold of dad’s black socks and shoes late last night – cutest thing I’ve seen! So he put his “gear” next to his bed this morning so he could get ready to go to “work.” He’s got his cuffs, phone, and of course, baseball hat. He’s ready to go [...]

Studying the alphabet with roadkill – on to the letter A
On one of our recent morning walks to the pond, I spotted an Armadillo carcass over the fence. So the boys and I went to study it from afar. Sammy wanted to check them out on the computer, so we found some great info and photos.
So it’s time for us to move to the next [...]

Viola – from office, aka dumping ground to guest bedroom
Well, here it is – the mid-way flinging/purging/goodwilling/freecycling effort in our 15 year old office/dumping ground
To the guest bedroom for the next 2 months for our East Texas PumpJacks baseball player – Chad Keefer, #34. Which speaking of, they won their first game tonight! Way to go!
This took a good two weeks of constant effort. [...]

Saw Wayne’s new friend
Well, today we finished last minute preparations for our baseball player’s room. I am pooped, but have taken some before (actually, mid-way) and after photos that I hope to post tomorrow. Amazing. And the view! I have rarely looked out the window of our 3rd bedroom; it looks over the middle of our backyard. But [...]
