Because of the weight loss program I have been on, I am a firm believer in supplements. The whole program is based on bars and shakes and supplements, and I have done amazingly well. But, its like a jig-saw puzzle. I could do one part of the plan without the other, but […]

I don’t do it very often; and more often than not, I get caught up in the paid blogging stuff, and lose sight of what I actually blog. But, even before the paid blogging, I know I would go through periods of time I would question just what direction I wanted the blog to […]

Back in the 80’s, we used to travel quite a bit, doing trade shows for the company we worked for (it was a family owned business). Several of the shows we did were in Las Vegas. Needless to say, everyone wanted to go to Las Vegas to work (and of course play […]

Whenever we go anywhere, the one thing Ethan takes with him is his mp3 player. He has a great appreciation for Barbershop style music, so much so that he is part of a Barbershop Chorus. So, songs from that style of music, he has downloaded Christian and County songs. It does my […]

I need to try and get all my ducks in a row. We’ll only be 3 miles from town, so I will utilize that to some degree, and try to do whatever paid blogging needs to be done over the weekend. But, for a change, instead of the days just hanging out there, […]

We live 45 miles from the nearest Walmart, and 60 miles from any kind of mall or shoe store. So, its usually one of those things where we make a continuous list; and when the list gets long enough to make the trip worthwhile, we will go. We do have a department store […]

I’m waiting on Ethan to get home. He goes to Barbershop practice on Tuesday night’s. He doesn’t drive to Topeka himself — he goes with 2 other guys from our church. But, they all meet in New Strawn … a little town 4 miles from here. So, he drives out there, […]

In 1987, Vermont Timber Works began designing and building homes from start to finish. Since then, they have become more specialized. They do the timber frame, and encourage their clients to hire and work with architects and builders with excellent reputations. Last year, we watched the construction of our new church building. […]

It has not been a good day. My boss was emotionally drained from the past weeks events; and it should have been an exciting powerful week. I felt helpless in what I should do to help him. David is on my case because I’m not going to Topeka tomorrow. And Ethan […]

We are thinking about doing some changing in the house. Ethan’s room is so small, and he just does not have any room. The computer room is plenty big enough; and now that we have laptops, we very seldom go in the computer room. So, we are thinking about switching the […]

When we moved into the new church building, the ladies got busy and decorated my boss’s office. They did a wonderful job. It opened the doors to one of the ladies. Because of what she did with that office, it gave her the confidence to do something she has wanted to do […]

It seems like recently, no one has been spared some kind of disaster, one kind or the other. Floods, tornado, ice storms and blizzards later in the year. Mother Nature has unleashed her fury time and time again. One can never be too prepared, and diesel electric generators ensure that you […]

Ethan did remember to pick up his schedule, and he does have next Saturday off. And David surprised me by telling me he is going to tell his driver’s to call in their numbers, that he will have their checks wrote when they get out there to be paid. That we will be […]

Even though for the most part, I am pretty much technology challenged, I do like finding and putting into use, new plugins, or websites that use the tech gadgets I already have. One such website would be Cellfish. I just signed up, and I have enjoyed playing around with it, and […]

I’ve been working on a new project. I have had this on the mental back burner for awhile; but finally got it half way put together, and now if I can just keep at it. I set up a new blog — a photo blog. Kansas Clicks I will be doing several […]

It has been several years now that we have had to keep an eye on David’s blood pressure. In the beginning, we used my mom’s blood pressure monitor; and then eventually, we purchased our own. But, its probably time that we look into purchasing another one. The last time he used […]

I wonder if Ethan remembered to pick up his scheduled. He didn’t call me about it, and there was a couple of days in question, that he requested off. So, it should be interesting to see what shifts he will have. We have a family reunion scheduled for next Saturday, but whether […]

Within my family tree, we have a vast amount of cardiac and diabetic problems, but as far as I know, Alzheimer isn’t something anyone has been affected by. That is in my blood family. But, there are several people within our church family who have been diagnoised with it, and it is heart […]

I know it was only the first day, but Ethan is feeling overwhelmed, just as I thought he might. Especially if he actually puts his nose to the grindstone and actually tries to get decent grades this year. He’s talked to some of the teachers where he knows he could possibly struggle, and he […]

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that life for me seems to continue to spiral out of control. With the beginning of school, and wanting the best for Ethan, and knowing that he really needs to knuckle down and hit the books this year, it just drives the point home even […]

I have several projects on the back burner that I would really like to do. They both involve blogging; but I’m not sure which blogs to do them on. In some ways, it makes sense to do it here, because it would help with those “in between” entries I sometimes struggle with. […]

For a small town, we do have a really good, up to date with technology kind of hospital. Well, for the most part. And what they aren’t capable of doing, they don’t hesitate to transport on to a bigger hospital, such as cardiac care, etc. But, when my aunt was alive, […]

I wish Ethan didn’t have to work tonight. Our church, along with 4 other churches, have come together and for the next 5 nights, we will be hosting Power Team performances. Alot of time and work and effort has gone into make this event happen. I have done alot of the behind […]

It has been 31 years since I have not had a child in the house. I have 2 more years to go, and then we will officially be part of the “Empty Nest” club. It will be strange to not have Ethan around, not having to keep up with his schedule, and staying […]
