This is a series of posts that I wrote back in 2006 on living with less stuff. Check them out: liv011Living #2liv031liv04

Coal Creek Farm on Facebook

The Chicken Doctor

April

The Architect

Clay

The Flowbee and Zarcod

flowbee

Me- Honey, you know what a Flowbee is don’t you?

Clay- What’s a Flowbee?

Me- You’ve never heard of a Flowbee?

Clay- I don’t understand.

Me- A Flowbee!  A Flowbee, you know a Flowbee!

Clay- Are you making that up?

Me- No!  It’s the hair cutting thing.

Clay- That’s like me saying, “Hey April, have you ever heard of Zarcod, you know Zarcod…ZARCOD! ” I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about!  It doesn’t matter how many times you say Flowbee it means nothing to me.

And that my friends was enough to send me into hysterical fits of laughter.  I’m so glad that after twenty years there are still things I don’t know about Clay and apparently we’ve never talked about the world famous Flowbee.

Now, who out there has never seen a Flowbee commercial when you were growing up?  Clay needs to know he’s not alone and that he didn’t grow up deprived of this fabulous infomercial.

Christmas Porch

100_0188

When we bought our home I dreamed of how I would decorate our porch for every season.  I thought for Christmas I would have a fat live tree adorned with lights on the porch to welcome visitors.  Instead I have a little fake tree with no lights that blows over every single day.  Aw, well.  Maybe if I used some bailing twine to hold it up…because you know if you don’t have bailing twine, you can’t fix anything!

Better Not Pout

Xmas Truck-11

Christmas is coming, are you ready?  I’m not.  Who wants to come deal with the Thanksgiving leftovers that are still in my refrigerator?
