Adventures in Ellis County & Living in a 800sq ft. barn

A blurb about The Critter and I. Our horse paradise of 10 acres in a very small town. The Struggles and Triumps of everyday life, of our farm equipment (that was state of the art during the FDR administration) along with all the amazing things Critter can build. and all the things that the horses , cats and dog can do to bring joy and insanity to our lives. Two adults from the city into the country. Living in a barn that Critter built all by himself! and my ramblings :-)

Man ,now I know it's bad

I know the economy is bad and getting worse but I thought there was a little time before the bottom fell out. Well, it hit me like a ton of bricks today when I noticed that an animated lizard even got laid off. The GEICO lizard is gone and has been replaced by two plastic eyeballs. People we are in the crapper! along with my ever dwindling 401k. We are in big trouble.

We will be all headed to California in our cars with our worldly possessions and Grandma hangin out the back. Grandma unfortunately, will only make it to the Nevada border before we have to bury her on the roadside. (Can ya tell, I watched Grapes Of Wrath this weekend?)

Apparently the economy is so bad that the girl in the Boost Mobile ad is so broke she can't afford a razor Yes, that would be waist length underarm hair. What the heck was this ad guy thinkin?
