Archive for August, 2006

Three times today I got this call from James asking if we had (fill in the blank) and if he could borrow some. Admittedly one of those times was actually something for Kathey, but I started wondering what was up. My question was answered when we got to the Lansberry house and found the table [...]

  This was a haiku that I particularly had in mind when I mentioned mediocre haiku. But then when I decided to post it, I realized that I could make it better… Maybe not far above mediocre, but in the acceptable range, I think.

Dinner at Lansberry’s- Bratwurst Tasting Party (Gabrielle)

Happy Brithday, Justice (Gabrielle)

On Saturday, August 19, Justice had officially been alive for one whole year. I look back on this past year and, man, it has been a doozy. Especially for Justice. And the fun isn’t over yet because tomorrow he goes in to have surgery done on his other hernia. Did I mention he another hernia? [...]

Introducing…(Gabrielle)

Ladies and gentlemen, the dog has been named. And when I tell you the name please know that it was not I who named this dog. Crystal is responsible for the naming of this poor, unfortunate dog.
