Trish's World

Mikey & I had a splendid time at the beach. We spent most of Thursdayshopping in Ludington, but in the early evening we walked to the beach and flew our kites, which is always fun. Plus it was nice and windy so the timing was stellar. We stayed at the beach and watched the sunset over [...]

Mike & I went out for our usual Friday lunch last week, but we went to the new place downtown, Casa Bolero. I was super excited to try the tableside guacamole. Let me tell you, it was delicious, and well worth the $8. It tasted so fresh and just full of nom sauce. For my [...]

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 [...]

Wow, it seems like there really isn’t too much going on latelt that I want to post about. Mostly because I have been completely wrapped up in the Southern Vampire series of books. These are the Sookie Stackhouse books that the show True Blood is based on. I’ve had them for a while but wasn’t [...]

OK, I have a lot I want to cover today. First things first. Friday was The George’s 31st birthday! We got an early start at Gallagher’s on Thursday night, and had a few beers to ring in the big day. On Friday, Mike & took him to Red Robin, where he celebrated with a delightful [...]

On Friday afternoon, Mike & I decided on a whim to hit Battle Creek and go to Horrock’s. We hadn’t been there in years and it’s a pretty cool store. On the way, I finally got a chance to check out Your Local Yarn Shop on Columbia. Wow, it’s really big, nice, and they have [...]

I found this cookbook recently about making your own cat treats. I’ve heard of people making dog treats and always found it interesting, so I thought I’d give this a whirl. I made a batch of tuna cookie type things on Thursday. I rolled out the dough and cut out cut little heart shapes and [...]

Happy Blogiversary to me!!! Yesterday was the 7th anniversary of Trish’s World. Can you believe it? I’m not sure I do. What have I been babbling about for 7 years? 7 years, 7 deadly sins. Coincidence?
After a looong debacle involving several different worker dudes here for many different days, my tub is finished! As of [...]

On Friday night we realized that the tub in the master bathroom has a crack on it. We figured this out because we were downstairs watching TV and noticed some weird wet spots on one of the drop ceiling tiles. I’m not sure if I mentioned here that we also recently noticed that the shower [...]

The woodpeckers are making me crazy! We thought we were rid of them for a while because we weren’t hearing the pecking, but they are back with a vengeance. They are tearing up both sides of our house and we are totally frustrated. If anyone has any suggestions at all, please, I beg you, share [...]
