If we ever remodel our house, one thing I know for sure that I want to change is the lighting. We do have a ceiling fan with a light in the middle of our living room; but it still doesn’t seem to be light enough for me. I have 2 other lights on […]

With a forecast like: Cloudy With A 20 Percent Chance Of Snow In The Morning…Then Partly Sunny In The Afternoon. Highs Around 40. Southwest Winds 5 To 10 Mph., I think we can safely say that we can pack the camping gear away for a few months. We enjoyed camping this fall, and […]

After yesterday’s meal, and working on the left overs we brought home today, I am coming to terms with the fact something needs to be done. I’m not sure I want to resort to pills or something like hoodia but, the sad fact of the matter is, something needs […]

Quiet day after yesterday’s festivities. No turkey leftovers for us — those stayed with Matt. He’s going to have lots of sandwiches for days to come. But he did a great job preparing them. I was impressed. For not knowing what he was doing, he did a great job. […]

I work in two different offices every day, so you would think I would have my fill of sending out Christmas cards during the Christmas season. But neither office does that. I miss that aspect. When I was office manager at a family owned business (David’s mom and dad owned it), we […]

Just one more day, and then we have a long 4 day holiday weekend ahead of us. I can hardly wait. I have a plan in mind, and I would really like to see it fall into place and happen. It goes something like this:
Thursday: We won’t have to be […]

When you visit a website for the first time, more often than not, the first impression is made by the eye appeal. Yes, you then quickly focus in on the content, and its the content that will determine whether or not you will return to that website. But there is just something about […]

Fly Away Home. I don’t know what the deal is, and yes, there are worst things to be bothered by. But for some reason, we have an infestation of ladybugs. Hundreds of them. And we have had them for weeks. They crawl around on the screen (which then […]

Each person’s life is a story that is telling itself in the living.
~ A Quote by William Throsby Bridges
A few years ago, I would have thought something like My Footprints.com was a good idea, but something we would do “someday”, and put it on the […]

That was a no brainer, even though it took me a moment for it to click in that is what I would do. Tonight was our annual Thanksgiving supper at the church. Always lots of good food. And its the only meal of the year that we are “assigned” what to […]

I have my work cut out for me these next couple of weeks. As I look through the newsletters of the past few years, I see lots of things that we did during the month of December and January, that we don’t have on the calendar this year. I could be stubborn […]

Oh. Wonderful. David just called and said to get the Samsonite out and make sure he had several days of good clothes ready to go. Him and the boss are going to Iowa to pick up a couple of trucks. That put a crimp in his day, I’m sure. I […]

Something we were concerned about when Ethan started working was how he would manage his money. He was feeling all grown up and he has watched us through the years handling checking accounts and he thought this was what he needed to do. That really scared me, but we decided to give […]

I’m proud of Ethan. After all the complaining he did about Kevin scheduling him for yesterday, he not only stepped up to the plate by being up at the school before 7:00 yesterday morning — working all morning (he only needed to work 2 hours… and there were alot of the kids in his […]

Hmmm. I’m getting ready to head out the door to walk through the annual Craft show that the Rec Center sponsors every year. Its a big event, with over 200 crafters setting up booths in the High School and Middle School. It will be extremely crowded, and parking with be […]

Last night went well. Russell (the class sponsor) had more than enough help. Lots of parents, lots of kids. He was almost at a loss what to have everyone do. We helped a little, but there really wasn’t a whole lot to do. Now… if we will just half that […]

Not always, but alot of times, our Christmas shopping boils down to buying alot of gift cards, or giving cash. At least for our adult kids. But, for the grandchildren, we try to take it a bit further and do something special for them. There will probably be the normal list of […]

I am not in a good place. This should be a good weekend. It will be a good weekend. And yet, a part of me wishes I could just close my eyes and make the weekend go away. I am feeling overwhelmed by what needs to be done. I am […]

When I was in High School, I had a hard time envisioning what I wanted to do once I graduated, but I took classes of subjects I enjoyed, and that included all the business classes our school had to offer. Typing, shorthand, accounting. Life, as it often does, took a different turn, […]

Ethan is not impressed. But that is life, and part of the working world. Its also called compromise, and he can do both, if he would stop being so stubborn. This weekend is the annual craft show. Major event for this small town. Some 200 vendors will be setting up […]

I will be the first to admit that I am pretty much clueless in the world of technology. Yes, I have a cell phone, I can find my around the internet pretty well and I can hack Word Press themes with a degree of knowledge. Ethan puts MP3 player headphones on me from […]

I am starting a new meme over at my “Focus On Kansas” blog. Every Tuesday, at your blog, post a picture or write something about your town. You don’t have to tell us what town you are from. Just share with us why its “your” town, and why you like or don’t like living […]

Am I a procrastinator? hmmm… let’s think. This is something I have wanted to write about for awhile, but for some reason, kept putting it off. Go figure.
In a book I read awhile back, it said some of the warning signs of a procrastinator are:
Do you often wait until the […]

You learn something everyday. I asked Ethan about Cat6 and he said he loves his cat 6 would be too many. Good one, Ethan. But curiosity got the best of me to do a little research on just what cat 6 was. It is a type of product — Cat […]

I love Saturdays. I still get up at the same time as I do weekdays, but the day is mine to do as I please. And often, I will fix breakfast, something I don’t do during the week. The breakfast of choice around here seems to be bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. […]
