I think we're all bozos on this bus

Today I’m going to tell you a little story. Settle down, please. When we moved into our brand-new Irvine home about 15 years ago, I became best friends with my little next-door neighbor, Buddy (Not Her Real Name but I call her that because she wanted to name her puppy Buddy and her mother said that [...]

Look who’s here again

Big Red the Landscape Guy (Not His Real Nickname) has been here again. As usual, it started with a couple of small requests that grew and grew. A few plants here, a few dozen there, and before you know it, things are happening. Part of the back yard was looking ragged from wild turkeys scratching under [...]

Halloween roundup

As you know, I am All About The People. And once The People spoke, demanding dogs in costumes, my mission was clear: Dress up dogs. Still mindful of the 4-1 vote (with teeth) the costumes are minimal, yet alluring. Stick around for the Bonus Costume at the end. Finally, let us travel back in time to 2003, [...]

Trick or treat! Smell my feet!

This is the obligatory Dogs in Costumes for Halloween blog entry. Astute readers will note that these are last year’s recycled Dogs in Costumes photos. A family vote was taken about dressing up dogs and I lost, 4-1. The “no” votes had teeth. © Kathi D for I think we're all bozos on this bus, 2009. [...]

It sucks, it sucketh not, it sucks, it sucketh not, it

I just hate it when I have formed an opinion and then I have to alter it based on “facts.” Just when I had decided that Charter Cable was the domain of Satan, something entirely unexpected happened, causing me to doubt my conclusion. Although the big storm plunged me and the whole neighborhood into a bleak [...]

Where was I?

Oh, yes. I left myself hanging without telephone, TeeVee, or internets. With the aid of some photos I stole from sis-in-law Margarita (Not Her Real Name) we can explore how the Modern World failed us, and what we did about it. Well, maybe not so much what we did about it. What the squirrels did. Here [...]

It was a dark and stormy night

Kathi D — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:32:18 +0000

It was also a dark and stormy day. This is what happens when there is no rain whatsoever for seven months and then there are seven inches of rain in two days. First, one of our walnut trees fell across our driveway. That wasn’t the Worst Thing, though. The next day, another 50-foot nut tree fell over [...]

And then I hung these out to dry

I appreciate the kudos for my domesticity, thank you all. Meanwhile, I am discovering that it’s actually easier to cook and sew and do laundry than to write. I am reconsidering my fantasy career goals. © Kathi D for I think we're all bozos on this bus, 2009. | Permalink | 4 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: farm chores Feed enhanced [...]

What I have been up to

Kathi D — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 06:53:13 +0000

other than “no good.” My creative energies are incapable of travelling in more than one direction at a time.( They are old and tired.) So while I have been quite blogless, I have been doing this and this and this and this. Finally, Rick and I took our pack of dogs to the vet for their annual checkups and shots. [...]

I humbly accept responsibility

My Brother Bob, who if he was any kind of brother at all, should be taking his turn writing this blog (Vote! Vote!) e-mailed an AP news story, and added the comment, “This is all your fault.” MADISON, Wis. – A Wisconsin tourism lobbying group is changing its name after realizing its initials formed a crude [...]
