Working Out Our Schedules

A friend of mine has asked me if would go to the pool with her, and just walk laps around the pool. She did that last spring, and she said she never felt better. But because of busy summer schedules, she fell away from doing it on a routine basis. But now […]

NAP

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my cardiologist. I pretty much know what he will say. But the good thing is that I have some positive information to give him. The last time I saw him, 3 months ago, he was the one who actually got through to me about considering […]

Looking At Our Options

We are doing fine now, but awhile back, we were in need of a vacuum cleaner, so we went on a search to find a good one. Seems like every few years, we are having to buy one, and it would be nice if we could buy one and then keep it forever. […]

In The Eye Of The Beholder

One of my favorite pasttimes (besides blogging) is driving through the country and taking pictures. And then adding it to a blogging page. I’m sure people look at us weird when they see us, as a family, complete with our digital cameras, taking multiple pictures. Its kinda neat to see what […]

Making An Eye Doctor Appointment

I am going to break down one of these days and make an eye doctor appointment. The last few that I’ve had, I rescheduled or canceled because I was seeing fine. But, things are getting harder to read, so I’m thinking its time to give in and get them checked and get new […]

Adult Achievements

David is on week 3 of his Dale Carnagie course, and they are working on defining moments and adult achievements. I have an idea of what he should do, but he is not ageeing with me. He will probably go with something in the trucking driving line, since that is encompasses his life, […]

The Eyes Have It

I need to ask David if ever figured out our eye doctor bill. Its more than what he thought it should be. Ethan wanted contact lenses when he was a sophmore, and the only way we would agree to it was that he paid for them. We would pay for regular […]

Taking A Mini-Vacation

We had supper with David’s mom and dad a couple nights ago, and his dad always has something to say, whether it be about the day, or his employees, or about things that happened years ago. Somehow, we got off on the subject of gambling and the “Vegas vacations ” we all used to […]

Starting Somewhere

When you go on a weight loss plan, the thing that I like is that feeling you get after the first week or so, its like a cleansing feeling. You’ve stopped eating junk food, and started putting healthy things in your mouth. I can only imagine when you add a product like […]

Waiting For The Blessed Event

I am “between” grandchildren right now. I think my older children have had all the children they are going to have (although, who knows, they may surprise us). And Ethan is 17, and I would like to think its going to be 5 or more years before he decides to get married and […]

Savoring The Moment

Its been a quiet weekend, Ethan has had to work all week; and David worked yesterday and took a road trip today. I love my family, but I do enjoy weekends like this. Its like a passport to a quiet island, just me, myself, and I. To do what […]

Celebration

I need to start putting some plans in place. The end of next month is our 25th wedding anniversary. We have talked about a few plans, or things we would like to do. But, there is also the “special” gift giving. I wouldn’t expect Akoya pearls from him, as nice […]

Graduation Gift Giving

On one of my other blogs, I have put up a countdown counter to when Ethan graduates. Its hard to believe that he will be graduating in less than 9 months. We all have alot to accomplish between now and then. I know he is going to feel overwhelmed as the […]

Lacking Something

As I head into my 50’s, I am finding that I am having to take different medications, and use different products. Although I haven’t started using progesterone in any form, as I read about it, it sounds like that somewhere along the line it will be something I should consider. I know I […]

Looking At A Camper

When we were camping a few weekends ago, my brother-in-law and his wife are thinking about selling their camper. So, we did a quick walk through, because we are looking for a different one (I don’t like the 5th wheel part of ours). In the corner was his golf bag and clubs. […]

Personalizing It

Ethan used to come home with fundraising items that he needed to sell or take orders on. Because he is was involved in several different organizations, as well as school activities, very often he would be doing more than one fundraiser at a time. Candy and candles and meat products are always a good […]

That Special Look

I don’t have a garden and probably never will. That was my mom’s thing. My mother-in-law also has one. And, with her birthday being the first part of June, getting her garden decor for her birthday, I can never go wrong. I love looking around at craft shows, to find something […]
