The other day, I was invited to see my friend's new horse. He had her for about a month before I got to see her. When I arrived at his house, he met me outside and said, 'C'mon'let's go see her.' We stood at the fence and marveled at how beautiful she was. Excited, he asked, 'You wanna pet her?' 'Sure!' I said. So my friend grabbed the halter and went after her. As I watched him chase her I was reminded of those silent movies where everyone is moving comically fast with the music in ...

/p> Clothesline fresh, country fresh scent, smells like a country garden, those of us from the city have all seen our share of country clad laundry soap commercials. The token red barn glows in the distance. Closer in, clothes adorn the line. Each piece is so straight and evenly spaced you'd believe a team of sophomore geometry students hung them as their final class projects. Even more perfect, the lightest of breezes launches an 'oh so soft' billow along the stain free front row. Even I ...

Well, what is there about them you can say that is positive? How can anybody trust a creature that is born without arms or legs and smells with its tongue? Obviously, you can see I dislike snakes! For me, they just don't seem a part of the natural order of things without the usual appendages.

The group standing alongside you waiting to board an elevator hang back and decide to wait for the next one once you've entered. Your old maid aunt who has tried kissing you right on the lips for years offers you just a handshake at your most recent ...

I moved into an older home on a parcel of property near Boston that backed up to a beautiful lake. The home is almost 50 years old and needs quite a bit of work but is quite large with an old farm house style. I knew I would be investing in quite a few home improvements and replacing the roof was highest on my list of priorities. I had not yet decided on what type of roof replacement to choose. Then I discovered that the two types of roofs approved for the federal roofing tax credit met ...
