Now that we are all settled into our new home in Louisiana, have embraced the culture, sold all the junk that doesn’t accommodate our new lifestyle, we have one little problem…………..we cheer for the enemy! Well, not the true enemy, but the opposing team, the teams that aren’t a favorite of Louisiana. Below is a …

Tomorrow is our neighborhood yard sale. I can’t wait to unload all this useless crap bunch of treasures. If we haven’t used it since we got here – gone – outta here – bye-bye! I better hurry up and sell all the toys the kids ignore before we find out that they are coated in …

If I ever want to find out the fate of the young Harry Potter – I will have to skip a “quality” post for Monday. Meanwhile, I have been possessed with writing the last few days. Don’t let all my effort go to waste please!!! Humor me – read!!!
