Abby – She loves to love.
Everyone say awwww…
We found Abby via the St Louis Senior Dog Project. She is a gorgeous Beagle mix and is more than deserving of a loving home.
Poor Abby spent the first 8 years of her life chained up in a yard with nothing but a barrel for shelter.
She is incredibly well behaved and a very loving old girl, which is surprising given her prior situation, but thanks to her loving and caring Foster Mom, she has become a wonderful friend for someone who wants to love her. We happen to be that lucky family.
Welcome to our family, Abba Dabba Do!

Find a place where you can move around easily and safely with your camera. Study the space for 5 minutes, then close your eyes and take 20 shots. Keep your eyes shut the whole time. Try to remember the space and “compose.” Get low, get close, get high; try to make each shot as different as possible. Don’t look until you have shot all 20. If your results are too light or dark, change your settings and shoot all 20 again; don’t peek!
Motivation
Motivation is severely lacking, in case you haven’t noticed. If you’ve been paying attention, you would know that I haven’t posted here for almost a year.
Living in the mid west has not exactly been inspirational, though I have enjoyed a lot of things about it.
That is about to change.
“The next Revolution in Video Viewing”
You too can look this glamorous, in TV Hat
The first time I watched the video sales pitch I was in complete awe. I had never seen anything so craptastic. Of course, I had to watch it a second time… and a third and it got funnier and funnier.
Click on it.
Seriously.
You won’t regret it.
CLICK ON IT!
Yes, they are still for sale. Want me to send you one?
Ragin’ Cajun Piano Bar
I have never done a restaurant review before, but decided that this one deserved a mention.
Last night we popped into the Rajin’ Cajun Piano Bar in Alton, Illinois, to check out one of our local places and to get a bight to eat.
The place oozes atmosphere. Awesome.
We are not fussy people. We are happy with decent food and decent service. It doesn’t have to be first class stuff, just pay us a little attention, give us a little respect and serve us edible food at the temperature at which it was meant to be served.
The Ragin’ Cajun failed at every one of these aspects…. oh, the food was decent, but it was COLD, and it was not meant to be cold. Trust me.
Last night we experienced seriously bad service. We waited 25 minutes to be asked if we wanted a drink. An hour to have our food order taken. Waited another hour and a half for our meal to be served and were treated with utter frustration and disdain when we had the nerve to suggest that they may want to get their act together, because the slow service had become a joke and the talk of the entire restaurant.
The kicker? Not a single apologetic word. From anyone. I emailed the restaurant last night as soon as I got home and I really hope they write back because that place is awesome, except for the service, and I really want to go back.
Thank God for Charlie. Charlie was the Pianist. Charlie rules. Thank you Charlie, for making our night tolerable. You are the only reason we stayed so long.
The fabbo frustrated guy was stolen borrowed from here.
Play Ball!
Last night Brad and I were the lucky recipients of two tickets in a luxury suite at Busch Stadium.
I’d never been to a baseball game, so this was “a great adventure” for me.
They had Hoochies with slingshots.
and Fredbird
The players: St Louis Cardinals VS New York Mets.
OH MY GOD! GRAND SLAM!
I had the most amazing evening! I’ve fallen in love with the game and can’t wait for the next one.
Thank you, Contegix for an amazing night.
Meet Duncan
Duncan is the newest addition to the McCrorey family.
He is an 18 month old kitty with a big fat case of the snuggles.
He was surrendered to animal welfare when his family were moving interstate to look for work and couldn’t afford to keep him.
He’s adorable and we’ve fallen in love with him already.
