Sorry for the radio silence of late. The job has finally kicked into gear and I was out and about most of last week. Also, my apartment in Ames is partially underground. I don’t know if this is the reason that the internet has been slow for the past few days or if there is …
However, kudos to Hy-Vee for having actual fortunes in their fortune cookies.
I’ve written here before about my love of writing letters to people. You know, real letters, with stationery and envelopes and stamps. I often try to do a theme with the letter, matching the stationery to some stickers on the envelope and, if possible, to the postage stamps on the outside. Because of this, I …
Valentine’s Day is a holiday pretty much designed to make at least half of the adult population of the United States feel grumpy. There is not a holiday that I have essentially said “Bah Humbug!” to more. I was single for a good long chunk before I was married and each v-day seemed to come …

We’re FAMOUS!!!!!! Again:-) (Thanks to Tini for pointing this out for us. This particular picture has really made the rounds. I guess we really DO look happy [we were practically wallowing in fleece, how could we not be!])
These are some of the Terms of Endearment that I call Red as I am feeding her. This is an incomplete list. No, I will not post audio of me signing the showtune-esqe songs that go along with many of these names. Right said Red Rubicon Ruminant* Red Head Ruby Rustler The Hunt for …
Tonight I finally met the farm’s resident skunk. Before you all start sending sympathy emails and comments, let me assure you no bodily fluids were exchanged.
