Back story: The dogs have run through our screen door, basically making their own doggy door. Since no one wants to get up from TV or computer to let the dogs out every 5 minutes, we have not fixed the screen. Needless to say, we are having issue with flies coming in the house (and bees, but that's another edition!). The second part to this story is that Danny has been painting the basement, so various pieces of cardboard are laying around not being used. So, instead of picking up a fly swatter when we are out, the Garza ingenuity kicks in!
Be Creative! Danny made a fly swatter from the scraps of cardboard. As you can see, the handle is doubled. This adds strength to the swatter and prevents any vibration or kick back when making contact on a flat, hard surface like a counter or table.
Be thrifty! It comes pre-decorated with semi-gloss Behr paint. Only the finest!
Action! And, most importantly, it works! There...you see...Garza ingenuity saved us $2.99!

This is a beautiful spot! We are still deciding where to move (once we get everything ready and the stars align just right). Tony wants to move to a beach front. Marisa wants to stay put. I want to return to Texas. And, Danny wants to move higher into the mountains and live by a lake. After driving through Estes Park last weekend and seeing Lily Lake, I agree that mountain lakes are beautiful.
And, with Murphy's Law in full force, it started to rain. I had to move the cars around. But, there's a problem...
...the Cadi doesn't fit on this side of the garage! Normally, the convertible is parked on this short side and the Cadi is on the other. But since we are finishing the basement, all the basement fodder is on the Cadi's side.
Our leader, Queen Sassafrass!
I'm Sister Rosie Cheeks, holding our mascots, Garnet and Amethyst.
Contessa Sassy Pants coordinated the entire event. Marvelous job!
Have dessert first!
Then, enjoy the meal!
Since our basement is being painted and all of Danny's monitors are packed away, he has acquisitioned the 3D-TV and sound system. Good thing I scrapbook, I'm a pink hatter, and I belong to a book club. Gosh!
