HP5 OOTP Review

Wow. Wow. That’s all I can say. Since we went to the midnight show in a town 1/2 hour away, we’re totally exhausted, but I definitely think it was worth it. There were a few things that we were disappointed with: the loss of Kreacher as the bad guy, absence of the Quibbler interview, and … [Read more…]

Harry Potter

Yeah! Today is the day for the HP 5th movie to come out and we’re going to the midnight showing! Also the 7th and final book comes out in about 2 weeks and boy am I excited! I am sorry for the end of the series, but it has been 10 years in the running … [Read more…]

It’s Showtime

Summertime

Everyone else seems to be writing about childhood memories of summer, so here goes: We had no air conditioning, I spent a lot of time going “ahhh” in front of the fan to hear my voice sound funny. Early in the morning when it wasn’t too hot we’d sit on the porch and listen to … [Read more…]

Sneaky Birdseed Thief

This little critter shimmied up the new bird feeder pole and ate about half of it today. He came back several times, shimmied up and shimmied down. We now need to invest in something to keep the critter out of it, and a squirrel feeder.
