Well, it's been a few years! A lot of things have changed, and a lot have not. I think I'll hang out a while and see who is still here, who's new and who might return....

My uncle knows the people who found Gypsy living on her own and got to meet her. It's a pretty neat story, just waiting for a happy ending. He is unable to bring her home because he has another dog who doesn't do well with other dogs. Check out the story on the link! Quite a mystery...

DS will be riding in a show on Oct 30 and apparently costumes are expected. I'd love to come up with something original. Or have one of you do it for me!! Grandma can sew and I can a bit too. I'm fierce with a hot glue gun as well!!

An annual event held at our Vicar and his wife's home. Daisy came to be blessed this time, along with the "baby" ducks Petunia and Moonstone, and Mary the angora bunny. Somehow I never managed to get pics of them! Someone else did though so when they're posted on the church website I'll steal them!

http://www.courant.com/community/tolland/hc-tolland-students-hovercraft-20110907,0,2630736.story Science Channel 10pm eastern time if you get it! He's a little nervous since he has now watched the first 3 episodes of the show and has no idea how much of the hours of footage they shot will be...

Over on BYC there's an old thread devoted to bento boxes. I used to have a lot of fun participating in that one. Now that DS is a little older cute bento lunches aren't quite as appreciated as they used to be, but they are fun for me to make! I thought with school starting up for a lot of our...

I finally remembered, after having the entire summer of Wednesdays off, that my naturopath does a radio show on Wednesday mornings. And not being particularly technologically advanced I didn't realize that anyone can listen to her through their computer! Of course I only caught the last 15...

Google is failing our Scout pack. We need a skit for camp in two weeks, one with a whodunit theme. And none of us leaders are coming up with anything! It only needs to be about 3 minutes long. We have 10 boys but not all need a speaking part. Anybody out there have ANY ideas??? Experience???

My mother was given a squash plant that has grown about 2 feet a day and has now produced this..... thing! She hasn't been able to identify what it is and won't be able to contact the friend for a bit. Any ideas??

A letterboxing website that I belong to always has important events for history on their home page each day. I though it would be fun to share some of my favorites. For example the following, since I remember it happening: 1976 First Perfect Score in Olympic History: At the Montreal Olympics...

I've lived in this house for nearly 22 years now. Until last summer the man who lived across the street, George, mowed his lawn practically every other day, keeping it extremely short. Last August he unfortunately passed away. Now George's grandson mows the lawn once a week for his grandmother...

I love love love French onion soup and just read a great way to make it GF is to use a portobello mushroom in place of the bread under the cheese. Pop it under the broiler to cook the mushroom and brown the cheese and Voila! Anybody ever made it like that?

Hi gang! I've got two 12 hour or so old duckling out in my barn with their broody mama. I have no idea how to best provide them water! I've brooded ducks indoor before and had soda bottles with little holes cut out. I've been reading up over on BYC but everyone seems to say they can handle...

This story broke yesterday. It's right around the corner from my parents' house and near where my friend lives with her sheep. About 5 miles from us. http://www.courant.com/community/windham/hc-ap-ct-cemeteryanimalsmay24,0,553517.story

Alright, I need to pick some brains. I'm getting dizzy internet searching!!! I have a basic Swiss Army knife that has a number of tools on it that I almost always have with me. But I am not going to be able to take it to Cub Scout camp because it doesn't have a locking blade and that's a...

Just back from Scout training and I'm flashing back to GS camp. Here's how we spelled chicken (From a song called something like Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown) C- that's the way we begin H- I'm the second letter in I- I am the third and C- I'm the fourth letter in that bird oh K- I'm filling in E-...

While working with a language delayed 9th grader on her vocabulary today I asked her if she remembered what a person who assists students crossing the street near a school was called. Crossing guard was one of the terms we discussed a few weeks ago. She did not come up with crossing guard...
