A Winner Announced (Plus a Story for the Weekend)

I was supposed to announce the winner of this week’s contest yesterday. As it turns out, all blogging duties get put on the proverbial back burner when one is preparing for Girls’ Camp. That “one” would be me and L. We’re doing a spoof on the BBC television programme “How Clean is Your House”, which [...]

{What I Really Need Is a Chicken Wing and a Good Hair Cut}

In most cases, I jump on any bandwagon that looks like fun; in today’s case (i.e. The Case of Typing “(Your Name) Needs” Into the Google Search Bar and Hitting Enter), I’m really glad I did.

Tamra Camry Drives From Canada to Arizona and Lives to Tell the Tale.

Tamra Camry would like to announce that she is back in Arizona. She left Canada on a whim Tuesday at 4 p.m. She drove. She drove and she drove and she drove. She didn’t get tired, not once (okay…maybe she got tired once. Or twice.). She kept going, for nine whole hours, all by herself, [...]

{I Fancy Myself a Gardener}

I’ve got a strawberry, see? It’s not quite ripe yet, but I’m very hopeful. Isn’t it beautiful? But it’s very small–about the size of a pea. Here are a few photos for perspective of its scale: Thus, it is with sweet yet sorrowful emotions that I leave for Arizona this week: sweet because I’ve missed [...]
