  • Dry Cleaning! It’s a Family Affair!

    I know, I know….you were just left hanging.  I began a series on laundry and promised my last post to be on the subject of dry-cleaning.  After that third post in the series, we went on a little trip to New Mexico and then when we got home, we made another short trip.  I’m now…

  • What Can We Do?

    This was a tough post to give a title to?  Do we call them Beggers?  Street People? Homeless People? Con Artists?  I don’t know.  All I know is,  they are there.  Men, Women, young, old, all races and some are handicap.  It’s not pretty, no matter who it is.  It has really become more noticeable…

  • Loving My Pure Flix Fix!

      Do you have a hard time finding a movie that you can sit down and watch and not have to worry about the language or a questionable scene that has no point to the movie at all? Movie night with the kids is always fun, but it takes us so long to find a…

  • 5 Year Anniversary with Compassion

    I just reached my five year anniversary in sponsoring a child through Compassion International.

  • Wednesday Hodgepodge – Slow and Steady!

    1. ‘Slow and steady wins the race’…tell us about a time this was true in your own life. I would like to think that through life, we should be slow and steady.  I don’t want to hurry through life.  Time passes so quickly, I do my best to take each day in and make it…

  • Wednesday Hodgepodge – Something’s Fishy

    1. Have you ever been fishing? Did you catch a fish? If so did you keep it or throw it back? If you haven’t been fishing is that something you’d like to try? My husband loves to fish….me, not so much.  I really don’t like to see the worms threaded on hooks and I don’t…
