I was just visiting some of my daily blogs and saw that Tashas Take had a post about Unspectacular Quirks. It's really a meme but I found it very interesting because I just left Meltwater Torrents Meanderins Delta and he had the same thing. Neither one did the meme thing of tagging people (thank goodness) but listed them out. When I read the comments I saw my good friend Lilly had listed some of

This is my brother Mark. He is one year older than me. He is now living with us. He reluctantly separated from his mate and misses his son Jacob(picture below, what a doll) terribly. A better soul you will never meet. You can see from looking at him he is quite the character. Standing at a whopping 6'8" tall and weighing a total of 148 lbs. He has the metabolism of a race horse. Always has. He

I just love this cake and it is way too easy.A co-worker gave me the recipe some time ago. Then my step mom DJ, made me one this past Saturday for my birthday!I can't seem to get enough of it.

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a breed of dog from Anatolia (central Turkey) and bred for guarding flocks of sheep from wolves, bears, jackals, and even cheetahs[1]. Wikipedia.comAs you know, my dog Elvis is an Anatolian shepherd. Moms dog Lily is Elvis's daughter.

This past Saturday I met a remarkable girl. I was working at our Country Store when in walked a petite dark haired young girl. I asked if I could assist her and she politely smiled and said she was just looking. I was talking with my partner DJ when I looked out the window and noticed this girls dog in the front seat of her car.It was about 90+ degrees out but a nice breeze and she had the

Okay.We all know I am a huge animal lover. I was doing my regular Entrecard dropping and came across this photo. I saw those sad red rimmed eyes and almost cried. Why would anyone put a muzzle on a poor baby lamb? I hope it was just to take this deranged picture but somehow I doubt it.Some people should just step away from owning animals. I, myself, do not "own" any animals. I share my life with

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not so self absorbed that I think the world would be a better place if I were signified by some monument to me. I would like to pay homage to nature herself.
