High Temps and Thunderstorms Today!

Today the high was 92. The forecast initially called for 96 to be the high. The afternoon thunderstorm cooled things down quite a bit. The Owyhee mountains are a bane and a blessing. The thunderstorms usually break up when the hit the canyons and lessen the severity of the storms. However, they... Sign in to see full entry.

Yard Sale Is Done But A Special Plea Comes With it!

There were several young boys on bicycles who came to the sale on Saturday. They were absolutely adorable. One boy bought a water bottle with a straw. About 20 minutes he return with the bottle broken. He said, "My bottle broke." I couldn't miss an opportunity to chide him a bit. I said, "So, what... Sign in to see full entry.

Y'All Are Invited To Grab Your Wallets Head To The Yard Sale! Lol

Today is the first day of the yard sale. I'm hoping a lot goes as well. We've been storing the items in my garage since last year's sale. It will be nice to get some room back. We have a great variety of items that are priced to sell. I have a pair of pannier bike bags that are very old. My daughter... Sign in to see full entry.

Felt A Twinge Of Buyers Remorse Today.

When I hired the company to work on my poetry manuscript I felt quite good about it. The money didn’t phase me because I was at my wits end with trying to get the poems to fit within the parameters of an ebook. I was relieved it was going to be done correctly. But, today I had such an uneasy feeling... Sign in to see full entry.

Exciting Playoff Games In Sports!

The NBA playoffs are off to an exciting start. I have been watching the Western Conference Finals and both teams are worthy of competing for the title. No matter who wins the East, Cavaliers or Knicks, I don't believe either team has the the players to defeat either San Antonio Spurs or OKC Thunder.... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I Broke Down And Made Purchase! Spendy, too!

As I said in the past I was having trouble getting my manuscript to read like I wanted using Kindle Previewer. I was prompted to download an updated version but it would not install. I went to Amazon to see what kind of assistance I could get and it was not what I wanted. I saw one of their... Sign in to see full entry.

Sad Sunday Night In Detroit!

Sunday night the Pistons played in game 96 of the current campaign. I have watched every game. The Pistons saved their worst for the last game of their season. The Cavaliers were an incredibly motivated squad. I have always said the team that wants a game the most will prevail especially in a game 7... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Day For My Pistons!

I've been reading different articles getting a take on the stats, opinions and even referee records when officiating games. It's the best way to stay calm for me. The two 'big guys' for Cleveland are 30 and 37 in age thus they have more experiece. The Pistons' core group is 24 or younger. Tobias... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Night In Detroit Sports!

The Pistons traveled to Cleveland for game 6 of the second round. After the heartbreaking loss in Detroit in game 5 plus Cavaliers going undefeated at home in the playoffs, I was one nervous fan. From the beginning the Pistons were focused and determined to leave Cleveland with the series tied 3-3... Sign in to see full entry.

A Cool Day Today After 97 Degrees Yesterday!

I had a good day since the heat went away. May is too early for 97 degree weather. I went to the grocery store that has a pharmacy in it only to discover they were closed for lunch. I didn’t need anything but my meds but Jessica did. She was picking up a few items for their camp trip. Plus she has a... Sign in to see full entry.
