Last Wednesday, December 17, it snowed here! I’m talking about a real honest-to-goodness snow! It was AWESOME!
It’s all gone now but we enjoyed it while it lasted.
“Carve whatever you want.”
October 30, 2008 — grumpychickI told my 16 year old son to carve whatever he wanted to into one of the pumpkins I picked up for Halloween.
And he did.
(Yes, I know I need to mow the lawn.)
More Calico.

My favorite part comes at the end.
GrumpyD’s friend asks if “he” is supposed to do something.
GrumpyD says “he” is supposed to give her quarter back.
Calico Ghost Town
September 26, 2008 — grumpychick
Last weekend, GrumpyD and I went to Calico Ghost Town with a couple of friends. If you’re ever in the area, it’s worth checking out.
If you are already planning a trip there, I have a few suggestions before you head out.
1) Wear sneakers or hiking shoes. The ground is pretty rocky and/or rough in areas and, if you want to see everything, you will be climbing and hiking a bit.
2) Bring cash. Some shops don’t accept anything but cold hard cash.
3) Go during the cooler seasons (fall and winter). It can get VERY hot there in the summer. Wear sunscreen no matter what time of the year.
I want to believe.
August 9, 2008 — grumpychickI drove to Baker to pick up GrumpyD a few days ago and, while we were there, we saw something interesting.
Please excuse the glass reflection, we were in too much of a hurry to snap a photo to be bothered to stop and change the settings on the camera. However, since the car was parked, we did change settings after snapping that first photo.
There were children in the backseat. I’m really impressed that they made sure to buckle the baby up in a car seat.
Actually, our “siting” wasn’t all that unusual. There’s a little shop in Baker called The Alien Fresh Jerky Store and, as you might have guessed, they sell lots of different kinds of jerky (and olives and honey). They also sell assorted Area 51 and alien-related merchandise.
It’s a fun little place to stop if you’re passing through the area.
