mansfield: Did you hear the one about how computers were going to save paper?
- 10/22/07 03:23 AM
Did you hear the joke about computers being invented to save paper? Now that we don't have to type every page or make mimeograph stencils or those worksheet chemical copies, we can just choose a number of copies and click print. It seems like we need a hard copy of almost everything. The day is just print-etey, print-etey all through the hours. I print research information so I can sort through all the matter and find the data I need. I often keep this research information for future reference, but seldom refer to it after the final reports are done. I … (2 comments)
mansfield: Mansfield, Missouri - Eco-friendly Horse Properties Part 2
- 06/22/07 03:19 AM
janeAnne's comments and ideas this morning on her post to the Eco All Stars HORSE and HOME, have given me inspiration to share how we do this on a small scale that can be adjusted to fit most any budget and fit most any land size. We have a small property -- just over three acres. All of that isn't available for use due to slopes, woods, etc. So, what do we do to make comfortable, loved horses and benefit the property The Ozarks offers a climate and geography to appeal to the small property owner. Horses are extremely popular. The World Headquarters of the … (7 comments)
mansfield: Freeze Out Church Corner near Mansfield, Missouri
- 04/25/07 08:18 AM
One evening a couple summers ago, we stopped by the Town Square at Mansfield, Missouri, to enjoy a music evening. When we parked, we were right next to an elderly gentleman who is a Mansfield native staying in his vehicle while listening to the music. We never got our lawn chairs to the Square because we got to visiting with this gentleman. He knew so much about the community and made it all terrifically interesting. The one little item we liked the best was about Freeze Out and Freeze Out Church. It seems that our road -- Rock Road (well and appropriately … (0 comments)
mansfield: Desk Exercises for My Benefit wth the Songbirds at Mansfield, Missouri
- 04/25/07 08:03 AM
An early rule I read about for monitor viewing was "Every 20 minutes, Look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds". This is supposed to ease the strain on your eyes from staring at the intriguing and interesting monitor. I have acquired some helpers outside my office window. If you call me, sometimes you can hear them. At a sunflower feeder, a thistle seed feeder and a syrup feeder intended for orioles, but claimed by hummers, all among the apple blossoms and lilacs, I have feathered friends to be the Something to Look at. Cardinals, Blue Jays, Goldfinches, House finchs, mockingbird, … (3 comments)
mansfield: Ozarks Spring, Mansfield, Missouri - 3
- 03/31/07 11:41 AM
Someone with a loving hand set shrubs, trees and bulbs so that we have a continuous rotation of something blooming. The first beauties include the jonquils and the dramatically fragrant hyacinths. The tulips are peeping out here and there, literally scattered about for bright surprises. Wild flowers like violets and dutchman's britches (bleeding heart) compete for the tiny view. The FUCHIA of the redbud trees will be repeated later in the mimosa and double rose of sharon. The peach tree has safely bloomed with no damaging frost or hail. The apples are preparing to imitate that blossom performance. While the redbuds have … (0 comments)
mansfield: Spring in Mansfield, Missouri -2
- 03/31/07 11:14 AM
Mansfield began Spring and Easter Holiday celebrations today with an Easter Egg Hunt on the Town Square. The Chamber of Commerce made a deal with the Easter Bunny for 2000 eggs, some with a candy inside and some with a toy inside. A New Chapter Book Store, Estrada's Mexican Restaurant, Xanadu Games and Engrave-a-Crete sponsored over 160 prize eggs. There were books, food, games and dollar bills. The plans have been going on for months. The eggs have been in my dining room since January. The gift certificates and notes have been printed out and made ready. Yesterday, I got caught … (0 comments)
mansfield: Mansfield, Missouri, Burritos to Die For at Estrada's
- 02/07/07 10:46 AM
Estrada's Mexican Cuisine is a family enterprise gracing the Town Square in Mansfield, Missouri. We are so fortunate to have, in the midwest, an opportunity to have an eating choice that is both delicious and generous. Karen and Dwight Estrada and their three boys offer great customer service in their quaint spot along with the very good food.
My extreme favorite is the Huge Chicken/Rice Burrito WET with the most scrumptious green chili. After that, the Shredded beef and Bean Burrito WET with that same lime-y green chili is the next choice. Although, the enchiladas would never be turned down. … (6 comments)
