We did not want our names in the phone book, so we just had Possum Manor put in. I forgot to register it with “Do Not Call,”  until I got the first call. It went like this:
Me: Hello
Them: Could I please speak to Possum Manor?
Me: Speaking
Them: Can I call you Possum?
hahahahahahaah It has […]

Well, for me it seems it was the chicken. Is there a book deal here anywhere; because, it is one thing after another.
Ann’s brother Larry is helping us…..I mean we are helping him….. put down the flooring. I made a wonderful, marinated, grilled chicken. With my first bite the chicken lodged in […]

No, we will not. However, each day we move closer to not finishing. The floor has been a real chore. We are half finished, and it looks great. It just was a bigger job than I had realized. Thank heavens for Ann’s brother. He has been a great help.
If I stop typing and leave […]

We have been at wits end ( the normal address for us lately) about how to arrange the downstairs furniture. We were not in a real rush since we knew we would have to un-arrange it when the floor went down on Saturday. We want to include our little stove/fire place just for secondary heat. […]

See the window in the right, in the picture below??

We cannot even figure out how to get up there to scrape off the stickers, but one of the cats figured out how to get there!

These are scratches below the window ledge! That means one of the felines jumped and did not make it, or […]

I spoke too soon. Brando had two accidents, grrrrr. Ann says he is a puppy and does not understand. He is seven months old and better understand quickly!
It is only 6:30AM, so there are no photos, but I will take some today. Everyone should experience the chaos. All great chaos though.
I am […]

Good ole Brando is now seven months old.  He is about fifty pounds, but  I do not think his brain has caught up yet.  He still barks at his reflection in the window or mirror, which is rather funny. The good news is that we thought he would never be house broken. He got so […]

 Since our frost last week, the colors have just burst out!  I don’t remember a prettier color season. It was almost seventy today, but tomorrow it is suppose to be lucky if it gets out of the fifties.

I’d first like to write off my usually Possum Manor topic.  At school, we are asked to post our schedule outside of our doors.  Some teachers have these graphically beautiful posters; however,  since I am artistically challenged, I usually search the web for an appropriate picture to go along with my schedule. This year I […]
