Our newest puppy, Toby, loves to swim. It was a bit of a surprise since I am used to our other dog not even wanting to get his feet wet! Toby has a personality all of his own, of coarse! When it rains

This was my ugly old slow cooker, my mom upgraded hers and gave me her old one. I had cooked Eucalyptus leaves in it to make an oil , and it probably had never been cleaned! It had a brown crud on the

We got a new puppy! A little brother for our 3 year old pup, Wally! The photo is our new pup on the first day we got him! Some people at our church had a bunch of puppies they kept trying to sell. I don't

My husband and I tried out a new addition to dinner- Sweet potato fries! They are high in fiber, and delicious! We fried them in canola oil , but i bet they would be great in coconut oil too! They were

In addition to fetch, our dog Wally loves to camp and hike! He has his own hiking dish for his food , and he can even carry it himself! Last time we went on a camping hike he carried his own food with

A while back when camping, we wanted to eat this can of beans. Unfortunately , we had forgotten the can opener! Lucky for me, my husband was ingenious enough to be able to open the can with his Volkswagen

When we were hiking the other day, we found some blackberries growing along the road. On the way out we kept stopping and picking them, with a bag that we had found in our car. By the time we got done

Cats are pretty smart, this one even knows how to use the cross walk!

I always thought it would be fun to make a robot out of recycled parts. Pieces of junk that were going to be thrown away, with a little imagination could be a head, a hand, a leg? I wonder if that is how

I love this closeup of a chunk of rainbow, you can see bamboo and other trees in the foreground.
