A Very Long, Very Bad Day
Sunday, August 8th, 2010
Friday was a very bad day here at Rural Route 2. In the morning, I went outside with Pixie, and as I was standing out there, I heard a strange sound from down by the garden. I knew it was a cat, but it wasn’t a cat scream, like cats fighting. It was just a […]
A Statement for Practicality
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
I was going to say that it all started when we were baling our hayfield a few weeks ago, but it actually started longer ago than that. Then I was going to say that it started last fall. But it’s actually been longer ago than last fall. It really all started when I was a […]
One of *Those* Days. . .

When the day started out with a jackhammer Friday morning, I knew it was going to be “one of those days.” After I arrived at the newspaper office Friday morning, I could hear crashing and banging coming from the back of the building. The newspaper office used to be a John Deere shop many years […]

Moving Day
Monday, July 12th, 2010
Randy built our little hen house on an old boat trailer, and the run we put up for them, essentially a dog run, is outfitted with wheels that Randy rigged up so we could push the run. Saturday evening, we decided we ought to move the hen house and the run to give Betty White, […]
Colorful Summer
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
The other night when Randy was showing me how to do different tasks with my new Rural Route 2 website, our little black kitty cat, Dora, was ever so helpful. She kept walking back and forth across the keyboard of my laptop. Randy finally picked up her, and she settled down across his shoulders for […]
