Shopping Can be Hazardous, to My Health That is…

When I was helping my ex-neighbor move on Sunday I managed to get a rocking chair from her sister. My daughter had been looking for one for her front porch. Today we were out looking for a cushion for the chair. She wanted one with sunflowers on it but we were unable to find one. Then Jes decided to... Sign in to see full entry.

I’m in Favor of Deporting ANYONE Who is Here Illegally, But…

I don’t have a problem with deporting anyone who is in the United States illegally but I am opposed to the ‘harassment’ of those who are here legally. Today my daughter sent me a text with a letter one of her co-worker got from the Idaho State Tax Commission. The woman is legally here and Mexican.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Little Things Seem to be the Most Annoying at Times!

Today is the day to pay bills for me. I decided to keep my newspaper subscription when they offered me a deal of 80% off the regular rate. The one thing I didn’t understand was why it was ending 19 days early from the previous year, I had anticipated the subscription being extended because there... Sign in to see full entry.

Knowing When To Throw The Towel In…

Yesterday I got a call from the gal that I have endlessly been helping with her budget. I cannot get her to use her money to work for her instead of against her. She is just of the mindset to apply one band aid after another. She moved out of her house and consequently rented it to her son. If the... Sign in to see full entry.

It won’t Be Long Until It’s Planting Time!

I have been looking at flowers lately. I have a nice area in the back of my house but unfortunately it doesn’t get enough hours of sun to grow a garden. I have tried for two years now and it is an exercise in futility. I tried taking limbs off the tree on my property but I find it so difficult to... Sign in to see full entry.

Just When You Think You Have it Bad, Someone Else is Has it Worse…

Today I am doing much better than I have over the last five days. This morning I read an article on a dad who was a medic in the Iraq. He began drinking heavily just to get to sleep. Then he had a son and it changed his life. Fast forward 9 years and his son collapsed at a football practice. He was... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sorrow Has Passed, Somewhat!

Saturday was my sister’s birthday. It has been nearly two years since she passed away but it isn’t getting much easier to accept it! I really wanted her to be my Lazarus but as hard and as long as I prayed it was not to be. I know the Lord works in mysterious ways but I was a bit angry in the... Sign in to see full entry.

My Goodness, Where’s the Warm weather?

The weather has taken a turn for the worse. We have a high wind advisory with gusts up to 50 miles per hour until 8 o’clock tonight. High winds are always so scary for me because the trees on my property are softwood variety! Hopefully the Owyhee Mountains will tame them for my area and direct the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have No Idea What The Day Will Bring But Hopeful It’s Exciting!

I am heading down to my daughter’s house as soon as I get a text from her that she’s heading home. A co-worker and Jessica have the same day off. The co-worker wanted some dying done to her hair and Jessica said she would do it. One of the perks with the job is that they can use products and... Sign in to see full entry.

Repair Costs Can Break the Budget!

About a week ago I put a large load of clothes in my dryer, pretty normal for me. After the cycle was complete I went to retrieve the load. Much to my surprise it was still wet. I started it again and when it finished I went to remove the load and it was still wet. I couldn’t figure out what was... Sign in to see full entry.
