I was browsing over at the BrambleRamble blog this evening. PJ is back at the keyboard, and is asking for some help for e-claire. It seems that she has been set a task by The Watcher of Weasels. She needs a dozen links by October 7th or she will be booted off the council.
Now, you all know how spastic I am about computer “stuff,” but I’m going to give this the ole college try. I expect all of you to do the same! After all, we’re family, right???
For more information on Claire’s predicament, and the links she needs, go here.
Spiced Sass and Dean’s World were the winners this week in the Watcher’s Council vote.

Bed Bugs
Night Night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite.
I can remember hearing that when I was a child. It never occured to me that bed bugs were real. Then I read about Medieval times and I discovered that bed bugs and lice and all sorts of miserable insects were commonplace. That might have been the start of my interest in herbs. A number of different herbs, including lavender were strewn among the rushes or straw that covered the floor of a castle’s common room.
Bed bugs were eliminated in the United States, but they have reappeared.
Heads Up
The subject I want to put before you is a difficult one to present without sounding whiney, and that’s not my intent. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you have probably figured out that I have married a man who has four children, but we have not had any children together. I met my step-children when they were between the ages of 12 and 19, and I had very little impact on their lives other than to teach them not to make social calls to us after 9:00 at night, and not to snicker when croutons are served with a salad.
That’s not what I want to write about, though.
Photo history
Have you been divorced? Do you have a child who is divorced? Were your parents divorced? Do you have a relative who has been divorced??
Okay…..do you have family photographs with the ex-spouse? The question of the day is, do you leave them in the picture or have them air-brushed out? Or perhaps you feel more strongly and have CUT them out of the picture!
Somewhere I have photographs of my first wedding. I suppose I even have some pictures with my former husband and some of my family members. They are not in an album, so I’ve just tucked them away. It never occured to me to have him air brushed out of those pictures. After all, he’s part of my history. I don’t dwell on him, but I don’t deny his existance, either.
