By | October 25, 2008

I am trying to sew some pillow covers for the boys.  I know, I can but a new one, but the boys’ bed are just fine, except for the covers.  They are frayed and plenty of holes.  I think from all the weekly washing since 2004.  I tried to sew the covers last night and [...]

Now that the weather is cooling off so much which I like, I have been out in the trails more.  It’s an every day thing for me to go to the trails with the boys, mainly Cooper and Chase.  I know I’m not suppose to walk the dogs without their leashes.  At least when I [...]

How cheap the city gets?

By | October 20, 2008

That’s how the city patched up the cracks on the street.  I took this picture of townhomes on one of my usual routes with the boys on Sunday.   The white strip of plastic thing will wear off sooner or later.  Underneath the white strip is some sort of black goo to patch up the cracks.  When [...]
