Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

What I Learned........

Recently:

1) If you are trying that weight loss trick of taking a tablespoonful of vinegar in a glass of water before mealtimes,
a) you will smell like a salad, and,
b) the acidic nature of the tonic could quite possibly inflame your tongue and throat, making it difficult to eat. It DOES promote weight loss. You thought it would burn calories, but it burns your tongue, instead.

Today:

2) Dead rose bushes still have a lot of roots to dig out.

3) You must never show too much ability to take on opposite-gender tasks, because when you mention something doesn't work, you just might be expected to fix it yourself.

4) A raccoon family has taken up residence out in the breezeway. They don't even pay rent. At least, nothing I care to collect.

Fortunately, I have extensive experience in small animal extermination.

That is all.

Have a nice day.

If you feed those racoons they'll be your friends forever.

So what do you use to get rid of them; .306, .45, or .22?

None of the above.(we only have squirt guns :-)

And, since some of the kids read this blog, I can't go into more detail.

(I have my legacy to think of....)

Ma, you know... here in Texas we keep racoons as pets. Maybe Trevor got bored with all his older siblings and forgot to tell you about his new friends. hehe
your bestest Texan daughter!
