How I met my husband

Sometimes people ask me - "How did you meet your husband?" Finally I tell them, "I met him while he was hitchhiking." I was driving my blue VW bug to Portland, OR with my cousin who was staying with me. As we were on the way back to Eastern, OR, we saw a hitchhiker on the side of the freeway. He had on a Stetson, was holding up a large cardboard yellow thumb with his guitar and pack on the side. I asked Lisa, "Does he look safe?" She said, "Yeah, I guess." So, I backed up. I had a PTL sticker on... Sign in to see full entry.

One of Those Days

First I sew my finger. I put some hot water on, because I was going to soak it. I forgot about the water boiling, until I smelt something burnt. I went to check it out, turned off the burner. The tea pot is dry and stuck to the electric burner. After it cool down I will try to separate the two. My finger only hurts a little now. Sign in to see full entry.

Just sewed my finger

I always wondered how people could sew through their finger with a sewing machine needle. Now I know.:) Sign in to see full entry.

back home

I went to the restaurant where my sister works. It wasn't busy. I ended up buying breakfast and got a discount. After that went to the Dollar Store to buy more reading glasses. I either forget, break or lose them. Then I went to the Salvation Army thrift store and bought some books (that's why I bought the glasses first) I found a scythe, which I always thought were neat and useful for cutting down weeds. Now I'm home. I need to clean house and start planning meals for this week. My big plan is... Sign in to see full entry.

2 minutes

I only have 2 minutes to write, but better than none. Woke up with a headache. I have been staying up too late. My family will be home sometime today from Idaho. I have been really missing them the last 2 days. My daughter called from Mexico, a deaf school where she volunteers. It was midnight, so I knew something was wrong. A 7 year old little boy went to the hospital today. He started acting strange, then fell off the bunk bed and hit his head. He could not talk or respond to them. (He was one...

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
