As the year draws to a close, I like to take a few moments to think back over what’s happened during the past year, and as I was doing that the other day, I had my blog to help me out! What a great tool! My highs, my lows, my calamaties, my triumphs, all are …
Raspberry Shortbread Cookies are the cookies that won me the title of Cookie Contest Queen. And you’ll find, at the bottom of this post, the recipe for the amazing Raspberry Shortbread Cookie: it’s the cookie my family demands, year after year. An Embarrassing Story Involving These Christmas Cookies I can’t believe I haven’t told …
Now I KNOW y’all think I am talking about my Big Bison, and in point of fact, with a title like this one, I should be! There is no sexier man alive than my gorgeous hunk of a husband, and if you don’t share my opinion: well, good! More for me!!! But, since lately I …
In order to tell you the tale of how things went to h-e-double-hockey-sticks in a handbasket, and thus prove my theorem, (that theorem being:”If a husband goes out of town, then all h-e-double-hockey-sticks WILL break loose at home.”) I first have to do a little show and tell about this: This is Pilgrim P. Dog, …
Today, I met a woman straight out of central casting. She was probably in her late 60’s, had a whiskey voice, and her general appearance seemed to me to meet the definition of “ridden-hard/put-up wet”. I took one look at her, and thought, “Holy Smokes! It’s Large Marge!!!” (In case you’ve never seen Pee Wee’s …
I really tried, too. But colonoscopy is not a word that easily rhymes. Thought I’d write some funny little ditty, to help you feel some pity…. (Hey, THAT rhymes…). Nothin’ doin’. Well, then, as I begin a tale about my tail, let me lay the groundwork. This story begins about a year and a …
On the front end of telling this story: there will be no pictures of me. I’m just sayin’. The reason why will become apparent by the end of my tale. And really, this is probably one of those “you had to be there” stories. But I have been popping in to various stores, trying to …
I told you so. I’ve been telling you for years. If you know me in real life, for YEARS I have been telling you that I have a bad dog. Here’s his mug shot, as he wears the Cone of Shame: Deacon D. Dawg has been trouble since Day One. For the first three years …
So, as I was saying,(please see the prior blog entry of the Girl Scout Camping Extravaganza) Jennifer comes in the tent and says, “Gary (the site director says that the road into camp is flooded. No one can get out, and no one can get in. He says that the Army Corps of Engineers is …
Have you ever had a deep sense of foreboding about something coming up, and then as events begin to unfold, you found out that it was so much worse than you ever dreamed it would be? (If I were writing this on the Sonlight Forums, I would have just used the emoticon of the little …
Slab o’ Humble Pie, Anyone? I think you’ll find the Crow is excellent, today, Madame. After all my bragging about good food, I think I better take myself down a peg or two, in the interests of God not doing it for me. You know Scripture says that God opposes the proud, but gives grace …
or: Breaking Bread with Mr. Billy, Mr. Billy’s Beagles, and the Bunnies I’m going to make a stab at retelling a story that is the stuff of legends. Once again, I did not personally witness the event that I am about to recount, but I first heard the story from one of the guys it …
I’d like to tell you a little bit about my family, and this morning, I think I’ll start off with our Little Bit, the youngest member of our family. She is, as any good Irishman would tell you, the light o’my life, my little ray of sunshine. I’ll call her the Boonie Baby, for the …
The players: Deacon D. Dawg: happiest in the creek My dear husband, the Big Bison: happiest in the studio, but equally happy going hunting A notoriously vicious beaver A snapping turtle The Scene: This story plays out best told in the oral tradition, complete with accents and hand motions.
