Have You been to Lindsay Lately?

Lindsay, California is a special place.  Home to both BillieJo and myself, it’s where we grew up, went to school, and where we still go for Sunday dinners.  It’s a great little town that just got a big mention in the LA Times Newspaper.  Why?  Lindsay, California is apparently the most tenacious little town in the Central [...]

Something’s waiting for you!

There is hardly anything better than going to visit good ole’ Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  But when there is a special Kitty Katwalk Pilloroo waiting for you with a special surprise inside, well, one would think they were in Heaven!  That is exactly what Carlos and Irene of Orange County did for their grandchildren.  There [...]

Alaska or Bust!

Well, my boys are heading to Alaska for 17 days of nothing but fishing and more fishing. But not without their handy-dandy Pilloroos. My son, Gregory, has his fishing Pilloroo with his iPod, cell phone and wallet hidden safely in it’s pouch but is still able to be used as a soft and [...]

Hopping Through the Outback

Kids love to have fun and playing dress up is always something that turns a boring afternoon into one full of laughter.  Here are my two little kangaroos transported into the outback while they squeeze into last year’s Halloween costumes.  I have to admit, I giggle myself as I see them go from Disney Princesses [...]

The Haas House Is Alive With The Sound of Music

Just like the hills, the Haas house is alive with the sound of music.  Without warning, my husband brought home a piano yesterday.  At first, I was a little dismayed.  Where in the world are we going to put a piano?  But looking into his eyes and hearing the pleas from our children, “Mom, can [...]
