Rosemary Beach / Bev Cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrahlalalalalala! Okay, remember Chili’s? The restaurant, of course you do. The chain. Chili’s.

It’s the skillet queso […]

daffodils / bev cooks

Frappy Fool’s Day! I hate it. Okay, hate is a strong word. Don’t say hate, blah blah blah. But really, as much as I’m into watching prank and joke shows (Candid Camera forever), I can’t handle BEING PRANKED. All caps. I can’t. So far this morning (and these are mild) there was a fake spider […]
