it?s official: we?re White Trash
2008-05-22 04:37:00
Move over White Trash Mom (but congrats on the book!), cuz I betcha don’t have THIS in your front yard! It’s been there a little while, the potty. We have a slow, DIY bathroom remodel going on. The master bath. It’s not getting any bigger (rats), but slightly newer, after we had to ...
is it hot enough for you? take my weather survey!
2008-05-17 03:23:00
We’re having potentially record-breaking weather today and tomorrow in this region of the country. Unlike some sun-worshippers I know, upper 80’s is just toooo hot for me now. Frankly, I didn’t move to the Seattle area for the hot sun. Truly. So I want to know your opinions! What do you think? ...
is it voyeurism if?.
2008-05-10 03:10:00
it was two of these? I didn’t MEAN to invade anyone’s privacy, especially a red-breasted sapsucker’s (although, they ARE doing it in PLAIN SIGHT). The binoculars just happened to be around my neck at the time. It was a quickie (or, perhaps that was normal speed…), and then there was some post-coital, solo feather pruning. ...

I bet my worm is longer than your worm
2008-05-08 16:50:00
Recent local news to gross you out educate you on the state of really long, and super-gross and slimy almost extinct giant worms: By JOHN K. WILEY, Associated Press Writer SPOKANE, Wash.

have you seen any mouses?
2008-04-25 04:42:00
If you’re a mouse, our yard could provide you sanctuary or a death knell, depending on who’s around. Dog just figured out we have a dual purpose wood pile/mouse house. You smell sumthang? Think it went this way. Oh, good stretch. Walnut brain to tail: speed up. Mouse nearby. Man, it’s dark. I never saw if she caught ...
Washington Ferry Alert: loose horse on board! Your help is requested! (UP
2008-04-18 20:34:00
Be on the lookout for a renegade horse, similar to this only not as fluffy or clean: “Neigh” to her friends, she was last seen at the car video game area Thursday afternoon, pretending to play since she forgot her purse. Unfortunately, she failed to deboard the ferry when it arrived at the Bainbridge terminal. ...
solar-powered garbage
2008-04-08 17:35:00
According to this article, for a mere $3000 or so, you can buy yourself a solar powered garbage can. My city did. Did I mention my city is located in the Pacific Northwest? I hope this thing doesn’t need much in the way of SOLAR for its power. See, it’s really a trash compactor powered ...
Bainbridge Island ? cleanest trails in the county!
2008-04-03 22:17:00
Our little island has a rep. Not necessarily a good one, I learned the hard way when I started blogging for the Seattle P-I website. Turns out the old-timers hate the new-timers and “off-islanders” hate the islanders, regardless of when they arrived on the island. The main bad rep is rich, snotty people who think they’re ...
SO not fair!!!
2008-03-31 01:13:00
I just realized that my entry for Diesel’s weekly caption contest made it to the finals! I have tried for months on these things and got bupkus! Then, I go OUT OF TOWN (once in a WHOLE YEAR) and make the finals. No chance to beg/bribe/plead for people to VOTE for my ...
hey, locals, free concerts!
2008-03-25 18:36:00
Jean Boyle (Kitsap and Beyond) posted the summer line-up for free concerts at Clearwater Casino. A friend went last year and said they are outside, kid-friendly, and totally accessible without going into the casino at all (unless you want to!). The concerts start in late May, which is great since the Waterfront Park concerts on ...
here a dog, there a dog: Seattle?s Dog Show
2008-03-11 05:57:00
We went to the dog show this past weekend to see the pooches, because being home, letting the same Dog in and out, in and out, all day, just isn’t enough. We saw all kinds of fuzzy, nervous, uptight types. But the dogs at the end of their leashes were sweet. I ...
There once was a limerick from Perth?.
2008-03-02 21:48:00
Hey, didya hear? The Bookstore here is having a limerick contest (not that I could find it on their website…ahem!). Deadline is March 30th. Submit by email to staff@eagleharborbooks.com or by mail or in person. Here’s one of mine (it’s G rated): Frog Rock hopped to Winslow at dark. He shopped for their flies as ...
My Bainbridge Island police blotter
2008-02-29 03:39:00
February 23: Officers were called to the residence, a site of a possible manmouseslaughter. A match to the tire tread imprint was immediately found on the resident’s Toyota automobile. “IF I did it, it was an accident. I didn’t have anything against him,” the woman claimed. However, after officers searched the garage, ...
Do you think there is too much violence on TV?
2008-02-25 17:40:00
A friend’s 4 year-old daughter recently listened to a story about her mother’s grandma, who she was, what she liked. The usual stories. Then she asked, “where IS Grandma now?” “Well, Grandma got very old, and she died,” her mother replied matter-of-factly. “She did??” “Yes,” said the mom, bracing herself for The Discussion of death and dying. “Who SHOT ...
my kindergarten issue
2008-02-08 17:51:00
Some parents worry about where their kids will go to kindergarten this fall. Not me. When you wake up each morning staring at the bricks of an elementary school, you have no doubts about where. Especially since the three elementary schools on this island are supposedly top-knotch. While I know where Kid will ...

2008-02-07 21:38:00
As you may recall, the hubs came through with a telephoto lens for Christmas. Here are my latest feathered neighbors. Mr. Stellar Jay We saw lots of these in Southeast Alaska. I saw them out my window flying off with whole peanuts (in the shell) when a friend down the road put out nuts ...
caption, anyone?
2008-01-28 03:44:00
This is Becca. She likes birds. She hopes to grow up and eat one some day. So far, she gets this close. Meanwhile, she’ll eat that post. Feeling any captions coming on out there? Copyright © 2008 Let the dog in!. This Feed is for personal non-commercial use only. If you are not reading this ...
county budget cuts hit home
2008-01-22 17:20:00
Well, THAT didn’t take long. Our lovely Kitsap county library system cut back on everything at the beginning of this year. Hours are shorter, and get this, they now charge late fees if you don’t return a book by some arbitrary date spewed out by, of all things, a computer. (2001 was ...
Online info for parents on Bainbridge Island: what to do, what to do?..
2008-01-11 17:45:00
When I am grumpy and the house is getting trashed by my crazed midget (Kid), going out looms as a necessary choice for the continued existence of certain household lifeforms (and we’re not talking fungus, either). Here are a few online Bainbridge Island, WA resources that I frequently check to see what’s going on ...
can you guess what I got for Christmas?
2008-01-07 07:42:00
So, I am a little late but hey, just tying up loose ends at the start of the new year….. No, it wasn’t a couple of junkos. No, it wasn’t a Woody Woodpecker cartoon. (Git yor mind outta da gutter, the rest o yas.) And it WASN’T a new camera. Anyone? Share This
I?m dreaming of a white Christmas??

The Snow Queen, a 4 year old?s theater review
2007-12-20 17:51:00
We went to a real theater on Bainbridge Island and saw a show called The Snow Queen. It had real people in it and puppets, so I didn’t get any Hot Tamales. I sat with my friend, Sally,* on the floor, up front with the kids. The show was about a winter fairy or ...
Look, up in the sky, it?s a bird!
2007-12-11 15:24:00
Okay, it’s not actually up in the sky, but it is a bird. Just what is going on around here, I’d like to know. Every day I sit on the couch (gotta get my weight up for winter, as DH says for himself) and hear CLUNK! at the sliding glass door. CLUNK! at the windows across ...
please let the pigeon drive the bus!
2007-11-20 15:45:00
According to this article, the ONLY Bainbridge Island bus service running outside commuter times is going to end in four months. This saddens me. How is anyone supposed to wean off of cars if there is NO bus service whatsoever? I don’t know about all my local readers, but I live on ...
let?s do the time warp again?and again
2007-10-30 10:17:00
Ha! I just noticed that they are showing Rocky Horror Picture Show here tomorrow (Halloweeeeeeeen). On our little suburban island. Of course, it is an 8pm show time, rather than midnight. I saw this movie several times. The first time, my dad took me and my brother. That turned out to be the best ...
high on Pi
2007-10-27 18:42:00
Yann Martel spoke at a the bookstore here on Bainbridge Island Friday night. His novel, Life of Pi, is re-releasing (they do this with books now, not just movies, apparently) with an illustrated edition. Winner of an international contest for illustrations of Life of Pi, Croatian Tomislav Torjanac also commented on the slide ...
and they called it puppy love
2007-10-14 06:12:00
I took myself for a walk yesterday. My pooch, the dog who constantly needs in or out, is on vacation. How she scores one and I don’t is a whole OTHER story. Oy, don’t get me started. I’m a little bitter… THIS story is about having a need met serendipitously one ...
a model babysitter
2007-09-28 17:49:00
The moon is almost full so….I hired a sitter the other night. Her greatest feat: getting my child to sleep. Yahoo! A sleeping Kid when I returned! I don’t even get that with DH at home! (ok, he might actually get Kid to bed on his own….after a seven hour ...
read the mouse report
2007-08-31 02:34:00
A quick note: Good news!! Remember Mouse 464? How could I forget, you say. A poignant and heartwarming story of DH saving a baby mouse. After constant questioning from DH about his little patient’s status, I finally called the wildlife shelter. I was scared to hear, yeah, well, we ...
mouse 464
2007-08-14 01:34:00
Now, more than ever, we need your offers of prayers and support. Not for me, or Kid, or anyone else here in the house. It’s someone outside. A mouse. Odd, random things always seem to happen the few times I get away. When I checked in by phone last night ...
Driving along?.
2007-08-12 19:45:00
in his automobile, DH called after work the other day saying he was stuck in traffic on the way to the ferry terminal. “I’m still only at that mini- putt-putt golf place.” “Huh? Where are you? Do you mean the driving range??” “Uh. Yeah. Whatever….” I love this guy. I love that my husband cannot ...
of pickyness
2007-08-03 18:04:00
It’s that time of year again. Blueberry picking. This is a certain joy I did not experience as a child (things to pick in Dallas would include….a top to go with that new skirt, a movie to see after dinner, and the enchilada to go with that tamale). Meanwhile, Kid is all over it, picking, that ...
the bird report from here
2007-07-25 01:33:00
Sentinel 1 reporting (me): Lots of baby birds around here, chickadees, downy woodpeckers, junkos, robins, and flickers. The chickadee baby I saw with its mom (or dad?) reminded me of Laurel and Hardy. The baby was twice as big, round, chirping, inches away from the food. Skinny little Mom (dad?) was ...
We?re all free!
2007-07-22 21:13:00
“That? Oh, it’s free.” We were in the crafts tent during the second annual Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival (I’m not sure when pouring colored sugar into a tube became a craft, but there it was). Crafts. No music listening, just crafts. Kid was coloring her second tambourine. The craft tent had more ...
ready, aim?..
2007-07-10 17:09:00
DH had been traveling a lot for work. We girls had missed him. And by “we” I mean our dog, Becca. No, we allllll did, honey. Really. Pulling into the driveway, the other day Kid and I got excited seeing his car. Ready to lavish him with lots of squeezes, we ...

digital photography 101
2007-06-05 22:34:00
Kid has started taking pictures with my little Canon elph. Dangerous? Yes. But, I am secretly hoping to have something go wrong with it to have an excuse to buy a Nikon digital SLR…. A little on the artsy-fartsy side, but she’s not bad. Share This
shooting fish in a barrel
2007-05-14 23:42:00
Our pushy dog has been loving her dad laid up in bed with a broken leg. It’s much easier to beg and steal food on an even playing field. When she stands on the bed, everything is “on the floor” and up for grabs in her mind. The other day, the dog ...
front window
2007-05-11 22:02:00
Man sitting by window, broken leg, bored…remind you of anything? Only my all-time favorite movie, Rear Window. Right? (Just say yes, even if you don’t know this movie because that will break my heart.) Wrong. It’s my life. Well, my husband’s life. Now that his leg is broken, ...
After the Kratt Brothers Show on Bainbridge Island?the Inquisition
2007-02-12 20:07:02
Kid (leaning in): Didn’t you ask first? Who did you talk to? Me (shirking): I…I…didn’t really ask anyone. I saw an ad. We like their tv show, so I just went online and bought tickets…..It was for a good cause, for the kids’ museum. You like that place. It’s fun…..I thought it would be nice…. Kid (pacing): What?! You didn’t check first? Real smart going there, tiger. Me: OK, I’m sorry….I…I…ju-st assumed a live show by the Kratt brothers would include live animals, too. Their tv shows have animals, don’t they? Kid (waving a show ticket around): Did anyone actually SAY there’d be animals? Hmmm?? Me (glancing away): Well, no. But there WAS a guy on stilts. That was neat, right? And Dad came, too. That was nice, right? Right? Kid (standing still now, glaring): But what about Zaboo?? Did you or did you not see any LEMURS anywhere in the gymnasium?? Me: Well, no…not a...
