The Tooth Fairy...

You've all heard of the Internet meme "Shi% my dad says", well here's an episode of stuff my grandson says!

James lost his first tooth last night... 

"I don't know what's so special about losing my first tooth, I don't feel any different.

Who will make the Twinkies?

Who will come to the rescue and replace all the Twinkies now flying off the store shelves.  

We had to make a special run this evening to make sure we had one last batch "for the kids"... Yeah that's it for the kids...  I have grand-kids, it'd be a shame to watch as these delicious, wholesome, err... treats slowly and insidiously fade from recent memory, there is a cultural longing, a need for Twinkies, Snoballs, and Devildogs and the like.  We'll talk about them in hushed tones at the water cooler, around the campfire,  Twinkies are legendary as they'll last 100 years without refrigeration.  I can hear it now the stories of how so and so once ate a 5 year old Twinkie and lived...  It'll happen, mark my words, remember all the cool stuff when we were kids, yeah that's right I'm talking about Maypo, and root beer barrels, coke in 8oz bottles, wax bottles,  Butterfinger BBs, Sugar Babies, Count Chocula and Boo Berries, Dreamsickles, I could go on and on, this is serious folks, we're talking about a junk food icon here.  A moment of silence please...

Someone has to step up and make the doughnuts, no that was Dunkin's, oh never mind.


They killed Twinkie, You Bastards!

This my friends, is why UNIONS Suck!

Sandy coming ashore in Jersey.

As Sandy comes ashore down in New Jersey, we're getting battered in New Boston.

We've already moved the cars in case we lose one of the pines up front.  The tarp on the Generator blew off already, I was able to get it re-attached and covering the generator.  The rain hitting the back of the house sounds like hail it's hitting with such force.  

The lights blinked only once so far, oops just blinked again, make that twice...  I'm sure that we will lose power at some point if not this evening maybe tomorrow morning.

We'll soon see just how ferocious Sandy turns out to be.

The wind is howling on the hill coming down the mountain from Weare, we can hear it coming before it gets here.

Good luck everyone!

Boys and their dogs

James & Jason were up a couple weeks ago for a jump in the leaf pile, some swinging, a little sliding, and a big dog soccer game.  As you can see both the boys and the dogs had a blast!










I want to play

Here comes Hurricane "SANDY", are you ready?

There was SnoTober in 2011, now this year almost exactly 12 months later we have "Sandy" the FrankenStorm coming up the coast.  

Maybe this will be another 100 year storm, maybe not.   

We did the weeks shopping Friday evening, filled the gas jugs this morning, collected all the misc. yard stuff this afternoon, flashlights and lanterns are ready.  I think we're ready, how about you?


Here comes "SANDY", are you ready?

Mid August to mid September

Rose chopped up and froze a bunch of tomatoes already.  We've picked 17 tomatoes so far from our 3 plants.  Our apple trees have apples ...
