Lessons of Life and the birds and the bees have been discussions lately due to the arrival of their new brother. Sissy to her mom: Why is that man sticking his arm in her butt? Mom to Sissy: That is how Betsy hopefully will have a baby calf. Sissy to Mom; Why? Mom to Sissy: Just Because that is how its done. Sissy to Mom: I'm glad I'm not a cow!

Red Neck Garden

Only at my brothers would you find a garden like this.
Yes that is an electric fence around the tomatoes and a dozen or so different kinds of peppers.
Why remove the power source from its original space when you can bring it to the garden also. Maybe the scarecrow comes out of the car when the deer are out. I know if you see a blinker going on in the night give Craig a call and tell him to go turn the car off the battery is charged.

Martha Stewart Show

Two young men from Iowa. Jimmy and Chaz. They are going to show us how to make their favorite chicken enchilada's. First you must be organized and have your favorite spoon. Make an assembly line so that you don't get mixed up on what goes on top of what.

Step 1: cradle the tortilla in your right hand and put the lime rice in the middle evenly.
Step 2,3: Put the black beans that were drained on top of the rice and then put the chicken on top of that. Step 4: You put the cheese and salsa ( homemake ) on top of that.
Our expert tortilla folder is Jimmy, he can fold and not lose any of the ingredients which is very important.
Step 5: Team work and concentration the most important of all. "Ain't that somethin folk's"!!
