Trivia of the day

Work went great tonight. I was able to get everything done in 3 1/2 hours. (I think it took me 4 or 5 last Friday). I am not writing down each room (how long it takes) At first I did, so I knew, but it takes too long to write it all down. It was good though, to start out doing it. The van started every time, all day. Tomorrow morning will be the test, because the "first start" is the hardest. I need to buy some bag balm, or Burts hand salve tomorrow. The weather is dry here and my hands are in... Sign in to see full entry.

Candy from Mexico

Life is so much easier when you have a car to drive. Today, after the watchman worked on it a little, it started every time. I still think I will start walking more though, (when it warms up). It should save a lot of gas, as I have to warm up the vehicle for 5 minutes every morning. Both cleaning jobs went well. Now I have 1/2 hour, then I clean across the street, hoping I can get it done in 4 hours and not 6. Just heard from Mexico. I gave him an order for Mexican candy, (for gifts). I don't...

Help with my van

I should be at work now, but since I pick my own hours for house cleaning I'm poking around. I slept in till 9:00. Last night at work the night watchman said he would look at my van. He came by this morning and got it started. (He jumped it). He didn't think it was the starter. He said it could be a lot of things, but probably is a loose belt, so the battery runs down easier. That solves my problem for today. It should start now. I think I'm going to read a little, finish my coffee and get to... Sign in to see full entry.

What is a good story?

I just got done reading a chapter of the book I'm reading. By the end of it, I had tears in my eyes. It's the kind of book that is deep and gets to the heart of things. It makes you think about your life. There are things about the authors life I do not agree with, but he has the right heart. In the book the author and his friend went to a seminar on what Story is. It was 36 hours long and after it was all over his friend summed it up in one sentence, a good story is: "A character who wants... Sign in to see full entry.

How to save money...

Walk! It is one of those "take a day at a time" weeks. This morning my husbands work van (which I am using right now) would not start. It has a new battery, so I'm guessing it's the starter. But, I am going to hook it up to the battery charger anyway, as it may have run it down some trying to start it. I got most everything else on my list checked off. I was going to take my vacuum cleaner in to get it checked out, cause it has a rattling sound. Tonight and tomorrow I can walk to all my jobs. I... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
