Thank you all, I had a wonderful birthday, and appreciated every one of the postings from my Stewie friends. Jerry, thank you for keeping track...
Hank, I don't know where you come up with these, but I'm so glad you do! :smt081
In my experience, which is small, interior designers charge you to shop at certain stores/suppliers where they get a percentage of the sale. The...
Here in Texas it's called Pangasus (and don't hold me to that spelling!). It is less expensive than catfish. I haven't bought or tasted it. What...
I tried to grow Rattlesnake beans on the recommendation of a fellow Texas gardener. I didn't have much luck--no beans, and very little vine....
We are doing the same, although the corn harvest in Texas is pretty good. Cornmeal, corn oil, and chicken feed are on my list of "stock up" items.
Paul, your home and gardens are lovely! I see why you want to replace the deck. Even if it weren't deteriorating, it looks stark compared to the...
I mentioned this posting to my neighbor, and she said that she realized she was getting older when the firemen outnumbered the guests when her...
I don't think I'll ever get old. Not that I'm going to shuffle off my mortal coil any time soon, I just don't feel old! We bought a farm at age...

Carolyn, one of the joys of a puppy is that it is a puppy, and you can train it from the very beginning. German Shepherds are a wonderful...
Carolyn, It's a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth (please, no jokes about the processor resembling its owner). It is 11 cup capacity with a smaller 5 cup...
Success! After ordering a food processor on-line and returning it, I found one this weekend at a store. I handled the demonstration model, took it...
Toni, as I understand it a pressure canner is a larger capacity and comes with a wire basket that the jars sit in. Otherwise, you can cook in it,...
We have three feeders that we put up in spring and again in the fall. During the summer the nectar ferments within hours, and is dangerous to the...
That's the ideal doggie--no mess, no walkies, no fleas--just ultra-cuteness! Well done. I can't get over how inventive some folks are.
Such lovely memories you brought back, Philip--thanks for the tour! When I see European cities I always hope our US cities age as well (unlikely,...
