I said mom would probably leave out the cabbage because she can't eat it, but if you like cabbage, by all means use it!

Towing Irony - 5 Misadventures In One!

Homesteading Blog vs. Televisual land Trip Away From it All - Travelling In the Rain and Eating at Denny's Comic Strip Idea - 1st Church of Whatever Cat Food Doesn't Really Taste Bad! The Irony of NOT Towing So many misadventures in just one day! I had to list them in order to remember them all! I was trying to decide what to do yesterday, while skimming various blogs and comics and emails and facebook, etc. I was down to the last ones and had saved this particular blog for last, because it's usually like 'saving the best for last'. This specific one I find interesting is by a woman around my age, who knows how to do alot of homemade things, lives in Aussieland and even has tutorials on how to do things right!

Unimportant Appointments (A poem or a song, written by me)

I'm a no-one In a nowhere town Sitting with my book And my gas station coffee On a gazebo step At the library park. The cars and trucks whiz by They don't see me Even if they did Even if they know me They don't care. They're too busy Racing to nowhere To get to their Unimportant appointments With everyone Who doesn't really matter. The sky is gorgeous The rain clouds moved on The trees grew their shade For us to sit in To rush through To drink our coffee And read our books And race our vehicles To nowhere in a rush For our unimportant appointments. The church bells toll To remind us of the time They echo heartbreakingly Beautiful notes Chiming the time for us For anyone who cares to listen. Are you paying attention Do you even care Or are you busy rushing Whizzing by Do you hear Do you see Do you care? *I was told this song reminds someone of the song by Simon & Garfunkel - Homeward Bound
