Enjoy!

Pretty cool, no?

Some initial thoughts about them:

Ed McMahon -  This is sad in the sense that it’s always sad to hear of someone’s death, but he was old. He was 86 years old and lived a pretty full life.  While sad, it wasn’t exactly shocking [...]]]> http://worldaccordingtokate.com/2009/06/25/they-come-in-threes/feed/ 0 Porch Drinking Season Has Arrived! http://worldaccordingtokate.com/2009/05/31/porch-drinking-season-has-arrived/ http://worldaccordingtokate.com/2009/05/31/porch-drinking-season-has-arrived/#comments Sun, 31 May 2009 22:06:54 +0000 Kate Czlapinski http://worldaccordingtokate.com/?p=922 After I returned home from washing and waxing my car at my parents’  house yesterday, Kevin and I made a trip out to the liquor store to stock up on beer and then to Lowe’s to spend half a fortune on soil, flowers, peppers, tomatoes and herbs.  We then spent some time digging around in dirt [...]]]> http://worldaccordingtokate.com/2009/05/31/porch-drinking-season-has-arrived/feed/ 6
