  • Best Invention Ever!

    Isn’t this brilliant? I found this story on neatorama. It’s a pizza vending machine. The machine makes five different pizzas in two minutes. It would make lunch so much easier.

  • A Losing Battle

    We have two wonderful sweet dogs who understand that they shouldn’t be on the furniture. When we are at home they refrain from jumping on the couch and the comfy chairs. However, when we are away at work it is a whole other story. My dog will not jump on the furniture if the pillows…

    My friend Amy told me the other day that she thought my picture of Hyacinth looked like a forest. She also thought that the plants would be even better with some little figurines. I’m a little short on figurines but I did find an old Wonder Woman toy. She looks very comfy in her Hyacinth…
