Trish's World

The war between us and Monkey Tail rages on. The chipmunks have also decided to get in on the battle, and they have allied themselves with Monkey Tail, which is no surprise. Last week the suet cake ran out because Monkey Tail and the chipmunks are huge pigs and ate all of it. So of [...]

I forgot yesterday to mention that I made a French press cozy for Mike’s dad for Father’s Day. I think he really liked it, but the best part was when he opened it and immediately put it on his head thinking it was a hat. He sort of looked like a G. Anyway, I busted [...]

It was another busy weekend around here. On Friday Mike & I spent all day cleaning and doing yardwork to get ready for a birthday party we were throwing for my sister on Saturday. We managed to get the yard looking really nice and the inside was all sparkly too. We even managed to get [...]

First things first – I updated my beer list. It had been a while, so there are lots of new ones listed. I’ve had 75 beers! Only 225 to go!! We are heading out tonight so I can cross off a few more.
Last Friday we went to Grand Rapids to help Alexis celebrate her graduation. [...]

I’ve been working on this afghan for a while, and I finally finished it in time to give it to my niece, Alexis, for a graduation gift. I really hope that she digs it. And also that she isn’t reading this. The colors didn’t turn out right in the pics at all, it’s [...]

I don’t know if I mentioned it here or not, but I’ve been doing quite a bit of drawing and painting for the last couple of months. My BFF Amber gave me an art table a few months ago, and I decided to give it a go since I have some time on my hands. [...]

Noah came over to spend the night with us on Saturday. We had a blast. First we took him to see Shrek Forever After, during which I plied him with candy and popcorn. It was a cute movie. We all enjoyed it, but I don’t think it was as good as some of the other [...]

It’s been a while, and I know, I’m totally lame. I’ve actually been pretty busy for a jobless waif!
Houseboating last weekend was awesome as always! I didn’t take many pics because the landscape really hasn’t changed, plus it was rainy and/or overcast for most of the trip this time. The weather has been better, but trust [...]
