Have you ever been fortunate enough to have a black lab. We have and his name was Zach. Zach was a black lab and he was a character. You never knew what he would do. He was always entertaining. Once when we were watching TV he went into the kitchen pantry and got an onion and started to eat it. W...

We enjoyed watching American Idol tonight along with several million other people. The duets are a new idea for this season and a different idea. It is interesting to see how a contestant will interact with another singer. Certainly, Adam and Rocker Girl (we have nick-named her) blew us away with...

A bad storm was brewing late this afternoon here in the Upstate of South Carolina and Toby Cat was no where to be found. Both the wife and I searched all over looking for and calling for Toby Cat. He was no where to be found. We looked in all of the usual places. Toby Cat was no where to be foun...

Well, we all watched American Idol tonight and the results were not quite what we were expecting. We thought that Lil and Matt would go home. Itwas a surprise for the Dawg to go home. We really liked the Dawg and had hoped to see him stay on for another week. At least he will be able to go on tou...

Did they make a mess and not clean it up? Did they charge what you were told up front? Were the charges higher than you e...

We have just returned from a family vacation to Orlando, Florida. On the the places we enjoyed visiting was the Kennedy Space Center. We spent the entire day there and only saw about half of everything. It is a great family place to take the entire family. We were really impressed with the exhibi...

One of the many houses that we have lived in and remodeled over the years needed more cabinet space. We decided to move the refrigerator and added additional lower cabinets. We were able to match the cabinet doors on the bottom cabinets by using the doors from the laundry room that just happened...

We have all gone out to bid on a job, hoping that we would get the job, and that the people would be reasonable and hopefully easy to work with, just to get there and find out that the job was much larger than they described on the phone and that the cost is going to be much more than they are w...
