The BEST Looking Cad …
This side of the Mississippi and he wanted to know if he could post it here on his website… ? Uh, yeah!!! Not only can he, but now that I’ve seen it, I’ll post it. That way he can’t read it. Oris, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to post it, but now that [...]
Happenings around here
Yesterday afternoon events became busy around here. A flock of blackbirds decided to see how many birds could sit on the power line on two sides of the house. At the same time, three majestic magpies perched on the woodpile. (They were as confident as is Obama.) Two nosy cottontail rabbits then stopped by to [...]
