…”Hey Mrs.RedMittens, what do you DO all day now that you are semi-retired and PrincessLasertron has flown the coop and the NavySeal works all day?”
Today, I washed these containers and re-filled them.
Does THAT answer your question?!

the one about the strawberries
Another thing I’ve wanted to do for several years is go pick stawberries at Gettings Gardens near Sanborn, Iowa. I’ve seen their sign from the road and heard the commercials on the radio and decided last Thursday to finally just do it! Our good friends, the Sullys, were going to be at Okoboji for the [...]

Please vote for my flaming head
Dan took this horrific picture of me a few weeks ago when I tackled the first thing on my LIST.
I then entered it in a small, simple contest at MidwestLiving.com
Please go vote for me!

July 4th
Not the biggest fan of 4th of July….I, along with my scaredycat dawg, do not really enjoy exploding fireworks for nights on end in our neighborhood.

I didn’t even pay attention when the roller coaster was BROKEN when we got there!

The Wet Lake
Never have I seen TheLake so grey. so calm. so lifeless. so sad.
It has been a gentle rain, much needed for the Iowa Farmland. and the Lake.
The Lake benefits from the rain also. And us?
A weekend of rest…away from our daily grind.
Movies on TV, reading, napping and good food prepared by my parents.
ReJuvenation.

Peoneez!
Oh the Perfume! There is no better time of the year than Peony Time!
I’ve got 28 peony plants up my front walk. They grow in part shade, so they are late compared to other peonies I see around town.
Late-Bloomers! but well worth the wait!
