The gingerbread house is gone. It was constructed to withstand some crow assaults, but not every crow assault.
He Shot A Midwife. Sadly, just days after the midwife died in Mexico, two American teenagers were killed in a Mexican border town as they visited a car dealership.
Fresh Blood On The Block. The Freshbloods have also brought new fashion to the neighborhood. Mr. Freshblood likes shorts, knee socks and flip flops for snow-wear. Maybe Big Guy is better dressed than I thought.
Lessons From Carrington. Mom remembers calling the school board office after the bus incident. The problem got fixed. I think I forgot to tell her about Kelly Nelson. Maybe it's not too late for my mom to call his mom.
Shining. If there'd been a Wal-Mart right down the mountain path, The Shining would have ended much differently. Everyone would have stocked up on Twilight chocolate bars, flashlights and large screen televisions before the winter snows set in. Once spring arrived, they would have returned to Wal-Mart the flashlights with now dead batteries and the televisions, still warm from hours of viewing Animal Planet. As for the Twilight bars, I'm saving those to fill Easter baskets, then I'll return them to Wal-Mart.
Shopping for Smokes. In December, I finally bought cigarettes for the troops. Birdie and Daisy refused to shop with me and I found it really difficult to actually pay for a deplorable habit. I am putting together another box for our troops in Afghanistan. This one won't have cigarettes.
Snow Sidewalks. I'm not visting any friends until the snow melts. If I find out my friends haven't shoveled their walks, I'm afraid I won't like them as well. And, I would feel compelled to deposit dog poop on their lawn.
Tequila. Deep down, the blondie chihuahua mix really wants a cat sandwich, with or without ketchup. Realistically our cats would make a bigger hairball than eight-pound Tequila can swallow. So Tequila sticks to dog food. The cats stick to cat food. They like each other about as well as any three siblings. And somehow it works.
