Will we be called ‘Tar Heel’s now? Just kidding North Carolina. Yes, we’ve had a few tar balls wash up on shore. And we’ve had a couple calls about our Tar Ball Policy and you can imagine where I pulled this one from. After much deliberation here is our policy. If you don’t want to come down due to the tar balls – just give us a call and we’ll put your refund in the […]
Now I have heard everything. Send in your tired and weary hair to help clean up the oil slick. That is, for those of you that still have any hair. What I am talking about is collecting HAIR (not scalps) and sending it off to be made into mats to soak up the oil slick. I have heard of using hair cuttings to sprinkle on the garden to keep deer and rabbits away but never […]
We don’t need this stuff. Triclosan is classified as a pesticide and it’s finding it’s way into more and more products daily. By products, I mean tooth paste, deodorants, cleaning supplies, liquid soaps and the list goes on and on. Is there no decency in the way companies do business anymore? The dollar had been the bottom line for many decades but like everything else in this society there are no longer any values and […]

James Luther ‘Jim’ Dickinson and Alex Chilton , two of my favorite music people have recently passed away. They are right at the top of my fave list, both are from Memphis and are musically linked in more ways than one. Among James many accomplishments was playing piano on the Rolling Stones’ hit “Wild Horses”, producing numerous artists albums and releasing several solo and group albums himself. As lead singer for the Box Tops, Alex […]
Brady continues to grow and I continue to age. What gives? I am getting to there….’Brady Update’. The Bradster is 17 weeks old and weighs in at a crisp 14.4 pounds. He can hold himself up on the side of the bed – wow! He is such a joy to behold and he is growing less alarmed by my voice. I think Elizabeth and Chris have recorded my voice, distorted it and are using it […]
Rumor has it that Neal Boortz has been stalking the Eden House spa cam. I have heard from a reliable source that Neal has been checking out the spa cam while on the air. My source also tells me that Neal is a Libertarian and from where I set, that ain’t all bad. Though, I’m not sure I want to see northern California succeed from the Union. But the upper peninsula of Michigan (my home […]
A water filtration pitcher and a couple stainless steel water bottles (customize them to your liking) are where it’s at. Consumer’s Report (May 2010 issue) has rated the Clear2O water filtration pitcher as the best buy, which means it’s the best for the money and does the best job. Both the regular and the premium pitchers are rated excellent for lead and chloroform removal, excellent for flow rate and very good for not clogging – […]
Lots of folks have been asking about ‘the’ Ira. He is not in jail, he has not passed away and all other rumors have been greatly exaggerated. Though he did marry a Methodist – what is the world coming to? Betsey, Ira’s lovely blushing bride, says that she is a non-practicing Methodist. I think she is a ‘recovering’ Methodist. Okay, enough about the Methodist. As you can see from the picture, Ira is doing quite […]
There have been lots of inquiries ’bout the hammocks and swings lately – probably a spring thing. The fine folks at the Hammock Company are offering our guests a 20% discount on all their great stuff. Check them out and when you find what you need/want type in this secret code EDEN20 for your discount. Just like the old days when the prize in a box of Cracker Jacks was real. Oh yea, don’t get […]
Michael Doucet (of Beausoleil fame) and friend Michael Pillot dropped by this week for a visit and a nice surprise it was. The Mr. D. & Mr. P. were on the Prairie Home Companion cruise bopping around the Caribbean and had a small layover in Key West. I hadn’t seen Michael D. since the band stayed with us many years ago. He broke his leg and is on crutches – though you should have seen him […]
I have been getting lots of comments and inquirers about my ‘moon boots’ lately. They are actually MBT’s and I get them from footwearetc.com They are amazing for old legs (ankles and feet too) like mine. If anyone has a pair, don’t throw them away when the soles wear out. You can get them replaced for $65 (soles and the foam cushion) and they pay for the return shipping. I have had my oldest pair for […]
