Lessons to learn or experiment in the new year.
*Planting corn further away from the fence (daggone deer, quit eating my corn)
*Fattening up the smallest dog to the same size as the rest of the pack, so she does not feel so left out. She may calm down too, or she is too fat to fight back.
*Hide extra gloves, hat and scarfs in the trunk.
*Tie a string to the remote control - we won't lose it and makes it easier to fish from under the couch.
*Brush my teeth, brush the dog's teeth, with different brushes of course. But they have beef flavoured paste, tastes doggone good.
*When baking, use non-stick spray followed by a dusting of SUGAR for a crunchy non-stick crust.
*Find a substitude for SOUR CREAM, since Big Bad Papa "do not eat sour cream". (although I have gotten away with it before)
I am sure we have more to add to this list.

Some Lessons Learnt in 2010
*The smallest dog in the pack may be the most vicious dog.
*Planting corn close to the fence only means you are feeding the deer next door.
*When travelling in Winter, make sure to pack 3 pairs of gloves, hats and scarfs; especially since we forgot at 2 pairs of gloves, hats and scarfs.
*Not matter how big the car looks, we always need more room when we travel.
*Getting new fish with big bellies only means more fish in a few days.
*Half a steer and half a hog will not fit into our freezer.
*Beef tajine, Morrocan beef stew, is really easy and satisfying.

*New Kids on the Block have grown into Old Boys from the Block, but they still rock.
*If you introduce New Kids on the Block to a 7 year old, you will see her sing and dance for 3 minutes. Quite entertaining though.
*If you put Michael Jackson on the tele, a 7 year old can mimic his dance moves and leave you alone until the special ends in 3 hours, after which she will ask to watch it again. Just say yes.
*If a dumpling is steaming, there is a good chance the mouth and tongue will be burnt if you do not wait.

*Always measure the door openings before buying a refrigerator.
*If the dog is chewing on a brown "popsicle" in the snow, brush dog's teeth before getting kisses.
*Soup is a pretty good crowd pleaser, but figure that you will lose half of it on the way to potluck.
*That 84 year old guy can out run you or me, he is out dancing every Friday.
*How to get the attention the police officer for a non-emergency? Chase after a cruiser, I did.
