small town me: February 2015
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2015. The View from Here and There. This was our view Sunday evening. Yes, my husband barbecues in the rain. I've been begging Ernest for a snow picture and he finally came through with his view. What's your view like right now? Wednesday, February 18, 2015. While Ernest was gone last fall, I plugged in his iHome clock so I could see what time it was as I puttered away at his clutter. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. We Made a Hat (Just Call Me the Mad Hatter). Back to the knitting. ...

small town me: March 2015

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. I've Just Seen A Face. Caught this on the wall one morning. (morning sun shining through the glass on the front door). That's just a little bit creepy, don't you think? Monday, March 30, 2015. Tiny has a new spot. "I own this car," she purrs. And here's Homer, caught in the act stealing Francine's food. No wonder he's plateaued on his diet. Friday, March 27, 2015. I recently got one of those IRS scam calls. Yes, there's a warrant out for my arrest and so on and so forth. But I al...

small town me: November 2014
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 29, 2014. Law of Conservation of Energy. Ernest must be majoring in cat physics. I'm glad he can explain these things to me. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. One of them was made for Francine! Tiny came with her own dishes and still uses them. We have served her once or twice on a saucer but she tended to nose the food right off the plate so it was back to the bowl for her. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. In the early '70s Weber's bread had a giveaway of applique patches of Snoopy, the Prince...

small town me: October 2014
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Signs of Fall 2014. My favorite little punkin' heads. Preparations for Frank's costume. The best sign of all? Turning off the a/c. I see in the news that Barbie isn't doing so well any more. Too much junky pink stuff, in my opinion. I loved Barbies when I was a kid. I had a big dollhouse at my father's house. At home, I also made elaborate rooms from cardboard boxes. For a period of time as an adult, I acquired the "collectible" ones that live in their boxes. The Millenium Falco...

small town me: January 2015
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. The "ripe now" sticker on the avocados causes me a lot of trouble. The restaurant guy. Has solved the mystery. It is a trademark, not a notification. People keep pinching them to see if they're ripe, The nearly ripe ones end up being so bruised they are often too disgusting to eat. I am going to send Ernest 3 months of heirloom avos from the Avocado Diva. Fresh from the trees! An avocado a day would be lovely. It doesn't always have to be guacamole. A month's worth of ideas!

small town me: June 2015
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 20, 2015. Days ago, I asked Handy what he would like to do for Father's Day. Finally he answered and I responded. So I guess we'll just watch Creepshow. Friday, June 19, 2015. I texted Handy, "Caution, cat in driveway.". It's funny how such a tiny thing can take up the whole space. Wednesday, June 10, 2015. When You've Moved on From Lego. Tuesday, June 02, 2015. Now I know many of my fine friends share my dislike of typographical errors. Of tea. I'm picturing this:. Monday, June 01, 2015.

small town me: May 2015
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. This is Ernest when he plays board games with the rest of us mere mortals. He is unstoppable. We had a conversation about the tallest mountain in Wyoming and how the rangers on the 5 foot shorter #2 mountain might be disgruntled and I said, maybe they'll build a 6 foot cairn to top it off. He was quite pleased I had used that word in conversation although I mispronounced it but then I've never been able to use it in conversation before. Saturday, May 23, 2015. There was a view.

small town me: Doodle for ...
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2015/08/doodle-for.html
Tuesday, August 04, 2015. Is in the news, but it's not new to me. Besides my anthropomorphic food. I recently did a little something to surprise a friend.it's on its way. Aug 4, 2015, 10:36:00 AM. And I loved your anthropomorphic food in the previous post. It reminded me of drawings I saw on the walls at a food pantry. The drawings really spruced things up in what would otherwise have been a dismal place. Lines drawn skillfully by someone else. Aug 4, 2015, 11:33:00 AM. I think I know who that is for!

small town me: August 2015
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 22, 2015. Milestones, Migrations, and Mitigation. Last week marked many milestones for my friends. Local parents sending their children to the first days of elementary and high school. College age peoples making their migration. This made me wistful for the days when school started after Labor Day. Packing the car the night before, it was not quite full. There was still room for the cooler full of food and a few more bags, to be picked up in the morning. How the heck do you spell that.

small town me: Succulent Wreath
http://smalltownmom.blogspot.com/2015/08/succulent-wreath.html
Wednesday, August 05, 2015. My SIL invited me to a class wherein we made succulent wreaths. It was very enjoyable, held in the garden at a winery. I hope the succulents will survive my brown thumb and lack of light. I had to move them from their original spot near the window because Francine decided they were salad. The wreath has been floating around the house since then.but it's been safe from Francine's noshing! I'm not supposed to water it until it dries out. I'm good at that. Green Girl in Wisconsin.
