Couch Potato: Spending Time on the Sofa

Couch Potato: Spending Time on the Sofa


I know I just wrote about the 4th of July last week, but I figured I would tell you about what happened at our little family gettogether. First off, I found out on the 3rd that my older sister was going to get married and that it was a spur of the moment decision to hold the ceremony at the farm. This revelation sent the rest of the family scrambling to get everything ready as much as possible. Luckily, the list of demands was short and so it mainly involved an impromptu cake bake and some mowing and raking. Aside from the wind blowing a little too hard, the wedding went off without much of a hitch and my sister and brother-in-law are off together on their honeymoon.

What does any of this have to do with couches or potatoes? Well, the best of the surprises were yet to come until later on when we were shooting off fireworks. After it had gotten dark, we started shooting off some of the bigger fireworks. Everything was going well until this one (which was named Black Lightning) decided to go crazy. It was so powerful that is shot off once and fell over onto its side. That wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that it had eleven more shots left. With each shot, it spun and shot off in a different direction. Luckily, no children go hit, however, my brother caught a shot right where it counts. He ended up spending the next few days icing down his groin and laying on the couch at his house. Sadly he has needed a new sofa for a long time.

Those Litle Devils!

I Only Looked Away for a Split Second As parents, we do our best to look out for our children and keep them safe. The same can be said about most pet owners, as well. Sometimes, we may cross the line and spoil them a little bit... or, maybe a lot. The interesting thing about raising children and taking care of pets is that there is a dichotomy in the relationship. As mentioned before, we want to keep them safe. On the other hand, we do our best to keep our things safe from them! Pets can make a real mess of things in a very short timeframe. From chewing shoes to chewing sofa cushions, dogs have the capability to do some damage. Cats and their claws seem to think that the couch or recliner is their personal scratching post. While some people's pets behave or are docile, some can be real terrors. You may love your dog or cat, but let's face it, sometimes they can be jerks. My cat seems to think that 3 a.m. is the perfect time to tear across the entire house and across almost all...

Spring Has Sprung - More Time Outdoors

Image
Longer Days and Warmer Weather This winter has had its ups and downs. Just when you think it was over, here came another week or more of cold weather. I guess winter just wasn't ready to loosen its icy grip just because an underground dwelling rodent said it was time. While the groundhog was a little off with his prognosticating this year, spring seems to have finally come. All in all, I bet a lot of people are happy about this change of season.  Not to be a stick in the mud, but spring coming is always a mixed bag for me. I do enjoy the milder weather, but I seriously could do without all the allergies. I am sure the over-the-counter allergy medicine companies are happy for my patronage, I feel like I have to make a personal budget just for nasal sprays and pills. I look at other people who aren't allergic to grass and wonder what it feels like to be able to mow your own yard without wearing a respirator.  Outdoor Furniture Some days can be worse than other...
