Operation Ladybug

May 6, 2011

Tweet Life at Maison Bean is a bit of a zoo right now which is probably how we ended up with 1500 ladybugs and counting.  (Some of them appeared to be procreating as we watched.)  We emancipated them last Sunday morning.  The little Beans both had bed head, and as you can see, I’m still […]

God bless the USA and the Navy SEALs

May 2, 2011

Tweet When Papa knocked on my bedroom door at 11:37, we were sound asleep— Jax, who taken advantage of my weakness after a long weekend with little Beans, one white Russian, and an end-of-the-season episode of Desperate Housewives to maneuver his way into my bed; Hyacinth, who was sawing Sequoia logs; and yours truly who had narrow […]

If you pray…

April 28, 2011

Tweet Please say prayers for the victims and their families of the tornados that ripped through the South last night.  Before Papa moved to Maison Bean, he was living in Tuscaloosa.  He still has ties to both Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, and we pray for their safety.

Good Friday… or was it?

April 26, 2011

Tweet I should have known when I got in the shower and reached for the shampoo that it wasn’t going to be a good day.  The shampoo had been victim to yet another Bean 1/Bean 2 sabotage.  Running around the house towel clad and dripping, I searched manically for travel-sized shampoos, but there were none to […]

Resurrecting old flames: the Paris diaries

April 20, 2011

Tweet When I first saw Pierre, it was love at first sight. He’s a kind of husky guy with light brown hair, an olive complexion, big dark brown eyes, and chipmunk cheeks that beg to be kissed. For the most part, he’s an affable, easy-going kind of guy, except that like most French men, he’s […]

Moose’s Toy Box

April 17, 2011

Tweet In light of the recent dialogue on the refrigerator at Maison Bean (Papa’s response), I would be remiss if I didn’t show you this video.  (If you’re new to Jenny Beans, you should know that we first found Moose in the refrigerator at the tender age of 10 months—a month before he could even […]

Papa responds to I’ve been busy cleaning my refrigerator

April 15, 2011

Tweet Note:  If you haven’t read I’ve been busy cleaning my refrigerator, you should start there first. Dear Jenny, As usual there is so much BS in this post that’s it’s hard to know where to start shoveling.   First of all, the milk goes on the top shelf.  Along with the milk is your […]

I’ve been busy cleaning my refrigerator

April 13, 2011

Tweet We have no room in the refrigerator because Papa keeps buying greens.  You’d think that on a diet of roughage and wine I’d be skin and bones, but, alas, I’m not. It must be my thyroid. Anyway, I was busy cleaning the refrigerator so that there was room for the milk I bought when I […]
