Day after day I’ve driven along the same freeway, by the same farm, with this amazing old antique vehicle parked out front. Halfway between exits, it was neither quick or easy to swing by and snap a photo of it. The other day was perfect sunshiney weather, and I didn’t need to be anywhere in [...]

I slapped together a video tonight of the whole project from start to finish. Well, about as much as I could when it had to be clipped and trimmed and masacred to the point where a couple weeks of fabrication fits in under 10 minutes. Have a look see! It’s a little bit long - [...]
We’ve been calling it the Honda Hog lately, rather than the Honda Hippo or the Hondapotamous, although who really knows what it is or what it should be called. Regardless, it’s the Mr.’s version of the discontinued Honda Fat Cat which is a motorcycle, but with really wide tires. He made ours with parts from [...]

It would suit our neighbourhood to a T too [...]

Country Corner. It’s what I’ve decided to call my new shop on Zazzle. The point is of course to try to draw traffic from my website Country Corner Crafts which for some unexplainable reason is still going strong after 11 years and kicks @$$ on anything I’ve tried to do since. I’m not ditchin’ the [...]
There’s a song I have on a burned CD in my truck that either makes me smile and sing along, or cry – depending on what kind of mood I’m in: Kieth Urban’s Blue Jeans song. I believe it’s a remake of some other country singer, but either way the lyrics are the same. “I put [...]
I’m well past the age of calling my mother “Mommy” and haven’t used that term since my early teens when I was probably asking for something and pulling every stop. ;p Kids do that – I was a good kid – but I did that. Mom has past that milestone of 60 now, and has [...]
