Adventures in Blair County: Tim's All American Cafe

If you're looking for fancy then skip Tim's. This is not a showplace to bring people that you want to impress. It smells bad, is small and is pretty outdated in the decor. If you're looking for huge portions of homestyle food then you'll find it at Tim's.

There is a bar that greets you when you walk in. I've only been to Tim's for lunch so I don't know what the atmosphere is like at night.

In addition to the regular menu they have a menu board that changes with different specials.

If fresh cut fries are your thing (they are my weakness!) then you need to try Tim's fries.

The pictures don't do it justice, but the portions are massive. Pittsburgh style chicken salad right there, it's enough for two or three meals. You will be taking your leftovers home.

Certainly not healthy food, but once a year or so I like to stop in and indulge.

Kitchen floor woes

I spent a better part of this afternoon lamenting how much I hate my kitchen floor. It puzzles me as to why anyone would install such flooring. Not only is it ugly, but also impractical. It also puzzles me as to why, after nearly nine years in this house, I still have this floor. Well. It doesn't puzzle me that much ($$$). I clean it only once a year. Don't judge, I Swiffer and spot clean in between. And I have a dog who does her share of, ahem , cleaning it. But see all of those deep grout lines? Scrubbing around each brick tile and into those lines is beastly. It's much harder than getting foundation out of the lines on my face. Douse with cleaner. Scrub with rough sponge. Wipe with cloth rag. Rinse with rag. Rinse again in between each brick tile until it's done. Roughly two hours of scrubbing and rinsing. Similar process to removing makeup, but much more labor intensive. Yes, I could use a mop but scrubbing...

Sweet Zoey

Zoey - August 10, 2020 When we found her I didn't realize I needed her. Sure, she needed us, she was living in woods, alone, surviving on whatever she could find. She was nine months old, the vet later told me when I took her in for a check-up, still unsure I wanted to keep this undernourished mutt. We'd been on vacation in southwest Missouri, near the Arkansas border, in the middle of the woods. I was on the porch when I saw her trotting down the dirt road. A little brown dog. I whistled and she stopped to look at me from across the lawn. Then she continued on her way. Later that night, the family was watching a movie we'd brought (no cable service out there!) and suddenly this furry face popped up in the window, scaring my husband out of his seat. We fed her some people food and went to bed. She was still there in the morning. We asked around and no one knew where she came from. We fed her some more and she stayed. The next day we went and bought some dog food, f...
