Its amazing how, being around a group of your peers makes you start taking more time with your appearance. Ethan works and is around the public alot, and he does shower daily, and wears clean clothes, and deoradant. Brushes his teeth. You know. The basics. Yesterday, when he was […]

I have had several different cellphones along the way, but one constant has been — I have to have the “bells & whistles”. I want to be able to have a variety of ringtones to choose from. And not just any ringtone. But rather a truetone ringtone. I like standing out from […]

Tomorrow, our grandson will be testing for Green Belt in his Karate classes. We will be video taping it. Well, David or Ethan will be video taping it. I’ll capture what I can on my camera. But my DIL is wanting us to video tape it because she wants a copy […]

I know my mom would probably be upset with me, but she died so suddenly, and we had so many decision to make in a short amount of time, including packing up all of her earthly belongings. I loved her dearly, but she was a packrat. She saved everything. It would […]

Ethan had a hard decision to make last night. Well, actually, he didn’t. The decision was somewhat made for him because of the activities he has been and still is involved in (Barbershop chorus and then choir in High School). The Chorus came down from Topeka last night for a performance, and […]

I take a lot of pictures, and I do like my camera. But at Christmas time, my sister-in-law got a Canon camera for Christmas, and after listening to her what all it did, plus reading through the instruction booklet that came with it, this is definately one thing on my “wish list” of things. […]

I, like millions of others, has listened to the news, and about stem cell research. The pros and the cons. Why we should do it. Why we shouldn’t. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t understand it all. But, because the attention of a little boy was brought to […]

Living in the age of the internet, “not knowing” something is not an acceptable excuse. What ever it is you need to know, it can be found on the internet. Whether it is something local, or national, or even global. Local.com is […]

I need to remember to grab my Papermate pens when I head for work. I am really picky about the pens I use, and for some reason they seem to disappear at work. But that doesn’t stop me from taking them to work. I do keep some of them hidden and those […]

Working 40 hours a week, I very often come home from work and don’t want to fix supper. We end up eating out, which, once in awhile is fine, but the way we do it, it adds up quickly. I have checked websites that focus on crock pots, looking for recipes that are simple […]

Sometime in the next week or so, our city will start enforcing the noise ordinance curfew. Boys will be boys. You watch little boys who love to ram their trucks together, playing on their knees, and making that crashing noise for hours. Those little boys often grow up to get […]

I am checking into something that will require surgery, although it may be outpatient. As I read, part of the process, which I suppose is understandable, will encompass a colon cleanser. That doesn’t sound like fun at. all. But I understand why they have to do it. A little bit of […]

We need to go to Emporia or Topeka soon. With the rising cost of water and electricity, we really need to change out the faucets in our bathroom. I dont’ know one faucet from another, but David said we would probably look at Grohe faucets when we did it. […]

I need to email my uncle and see how my cousin is doing. They sent out a disturbing email letting us know that my cousin had cancer. I don’t think it was mesothelioma but nonetheless its serious and I pray for him every day. If that isn’t bad enough, the town […]

I know health insurance is on everyone’s mind these days, and as I get older, I can’t help but wonder what the future holds. We let our health insurance go 10 year ago because we just could not afford the premiums anymore. Fortunately, we have stayed relatively healthy. In the sense of […]

I know that alot of people look for the best wrinkle cream on the market, but these days, I worry less about wrinkles, and wish I could find something that would make my feet/ankles stop swelling. With the swelling comes burning and itching, plus my legs just ache. But the end of the […]

There is no doubt in my mind that Ethan’s love of books and reading comes from when I was pregnant with him. I bought a tape player, and checked out audio books and music from the library. It didn’t matter if it was a children’s book , or a book that I would […]

With the problems I have had with my feet and ankles swelling, I have been so thankful that I bought a pair of sandels that I can adjust the straps on. I’m not sure that even vegan shoes can help at this point. I’m taking Lasix for the problem, but it hasn’t really […]

This weekend was much nicer weather wise than last weekend, which figures. We didnt’ camp this weekend, but we did last weekend. David’s brother did take their camper out to the lake though. They have a new camper, so they were wanting to try it out. They went from […]

Its hard to believe the weekend is over already. Weekends go fast anyway, but you would think a 3 day weekend - one that started at noon Friday for me — would have taken a little longer. But, it sure went by fast. You would have thought we were on treadmills, staying […]

I will probably just send them a thank you card, but the thought occured to me that I should send David’s girls gift baskets (filled with fun camping stuff, like marshmallows and chocolate and bug spray and ….) for everything they have done this weekend. I have cooked a couple of the meals, but […]

I can’t remember a time in my life when getting the details of my life down on paper wasn’t the forefront thought in my mind. From the time I learned to write, through my turbulant teenage years, and an even more turbulant marriage at a young age, pen and paper was always there.
Going into […]

I am so glad summer is here. With the problems I have been having with the swelling of my ankles and feet, being able to slip into a pair of sandals has been a god-send. I’m not sure I could have gotten into any kind of regular shoes, even Ecco shoes and even […]

One night in our new camper, and we knew we had to do something. Getting a mattress topper- or an airmattress or something. Sleeping on the ground would have felt better. I know the mattress you sleep on needs to be firm, but this seemed to go beyond firm. It didn’t […]
