When I was a kid some friends and I used to roam the neighborhood looking for things to do. We would ride bikes, jump ramps, build forts and play baseball. But then there were the long summer days that we needed to be more creative to pass the time when we got bored. One day we were down by a little stream in back of the subdivision when we came across the biggest bullfrog we have ever seen. For t...

Several years back I had the bright that the boys were old enough for paint ball guns. I know...I never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. Anyway, we were going to have a big war in the field behind our house to break them in. None of us have ever played before so we really didn't know how bad it hurts when you got shot or how far away you should stand before shooting someone else. We...

Ok...We have two Poodle dogs and my boys just got two new puppies. The Poodles are inside dogs so it's been my job to let them out of the house first thing in the morning for a while now. Not sure how I got the job. I didn't apply for it, but somehow it's mine. The two new dogs will be outside dogs but since they are puppies they are inside for the time being. This one morning, I stumble out of be...

When the boys were younger they had a bad habit of scaring me with rubber snakes. I am deathly afraid of snakes so they got a real kick out of watching me scream like a twelve year old little girl when I came home from work. I would through away the rubber snake every time it happened but it always seemed to find its way out of the trash and back into my life once again. One day Melissa was in the...

One windy rainy day I went to Wal-mart. I walked in, smiled at the greeter and said hello. She can barely get "Welcome to Wal-mart" out of her mouth because she is laughing so hard. Isn't it just wonderful to see people in a good mood and able to laugh? I get my buggy and head for the grocery isle. This woman walks by me smiling and staring right at me. Then as she passes by I hear her b...

Ok...one night I heard the dogs going nuts in the front yard about 2am. I get up, stagger half asleep to the kitchen and grab my weapon of choice, a broom. As I go investigate I peek a look out the window and don‘t see a thing, so I creep open the door and poke out my head for a peek... nothing. As I slowly survey the perimeter of my yard there it is, something moves in the bushes. I poke it...

This one particular beautiful morning I was on my way to work. As usual, I stop everyday at the same quick stop in Kiln, MS and get a sausage and bacon biscuit for breakfast, with a Yoo-hoo. For those of you that may not know what a Yoo-hoo is, it's only the best tasting chocolate drink ever made. Now you have to keep in mind that the best way to drink a Yoo-hoo is to shake it up real good in betw...
