- A steady, dripping, cold rain does not make for a very memorable Independence Day.
- I may not have been able to grill out, but you are never without good cooked meat when you have a large cast iron griddle and a gas range.
- I’m quite proud that Boo won’t touch a fast food cheeseburger, but asked for seconds when I made them at home.
- Waking up with the smell of fresh bread in the bread maker is wonderful.
- The only thing better was having a couple of slices of it slathered in homemade apple preserves.
- It must have been chilly in the house Thursday night. We woke up with both cats not only on our bed, but also burrowed down into the covers.
- Irish Woman put up about 10 pints of strawberry-lime jam this afternoon. The entire house smelled delicious.
- Between the blueberries, strawberries, peaches, and apples she’s preserving in one way or another, I don’t think we need to worry about scurvy this winter.
- How do I know I have a good dog? Bluegrass is 12 years old, arthritic, and spends as much time as she can just lying around and relaxing. But when someone, who she didn’t know, came to the door this morning, she was a full-on burglar alarm and intruder eradication system on four spry legs.
- I don’t care whether it rains tomorrow or not, we are taking Boo to the zoo to get some of this energy worked off.
- He’s been pretty much cooped up in the house for two days due to the weather, and he needs to get out and run.
- We’re going to experiment with Boo’s food over the next month. We already know that artificial sweeteners, some non-organic dairy, and red food dyes seem to contribute to him losing his self-control, but we’re going to try cutting out a lot of the non-organic fruit out of his diet.
- We’ve noticed a difference between his behavior after eating produce out of our garden or from an organic local farm versus after eating something from the grocery store.
- We’re not going fully hippie drum circle organic with him, just trying to see if a diet without some of the chemicals they spray on fruit to keep it fresher longer will help.
- Notice that I never said that no-one should use those products. Y’all keep me honest on this, but I never want to tell someone else what they should eat or how they should raise their kids.
- One of my shooting buddies reported that one of the local gun stores has PMC brass cased FMJ .45 ACP for less than 50 cents a round, and Federal FMJ for a little over 50 cents a round.
- The drought is starting to ease.
- And now, if you all don’t mind, I’m going to kick back, enjoy a cold beverage, and talk about Star Wars with my youngest son.

/ July 6, 2013Good luck with finding what works for Boo. With Miss 11 it was sugar – fruit or added, doesn’t make a difference. Protein seems to ‘calm’ her down.
