We see alot of free promotional products come in through the mail. We have seen several different kinds of pens, and even ordered some for the drivers to use at the trucking company. We got a pocket calendar in the other day, and both David and I think we should order some for […]

It feels good to be in a position to go to the bank, week after week, to make our house payment. There was a time in our lives that I would trip myself and if it had continued, we probably would have been looking for foreclosure help. I made stupid choices and stupid […]

I really ennoyed yesterday. It took a little bit of extra work on David’s part to make it happen, but I am so glad that he did. Usually, on Saturday mornings, he has to be at the office to write paychecks for the all the drivers. But, on those rare occasions that he knows he […]

We finally got through a Thursday without a storm. Ethan usually works most Thursday eveings, and he and the manager joke about it being “Thursday again”. At first, I didn’t think a whole lot about it. But then on the news, they expounded on it as well — that it has stormed […]

This summer is flying by way to fast. Lots of rain, and a little hot weather, but it really hasn’t been bad. Its just going by too fast. Fall will be here before we know it, and then the dreaded winter. I am battling several health issues, and I don’t […]

This actually is working out OK. When we were putting together Father’s Day plans, we had to take into account that Ethan had a 2:00 committment. So, anything we did, couldn’t be done until after 3:00. David said that was OK, he’d probably work a little before we went. He […]

I wish I could today what I did yesterday. Yesterday was a “stay at home” kind of day, and I was able to my Lasix (water pills) early,and since my doctor upped the dosage, staying close to home was pretty much a necessity. By taking the increased dosage, drinking lots of water, […]

We were sitting around the campfire a couple nights ago. My son-in-law works in tech support, and we were talking about his job, and what he does. And he said something about a used cisco. I had heard that word before but wasn’t sure just what it was. He tried explaining […]

Mostly sunny. Highs around 78. Lows around 46. South winds 5 to 10 mph.
We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Esp. after all the storms that have been rolling through here, and Missori and Arkansas. The sun was shining. No wind. A perfect spring day. David’s brother called […]

Ever since Ethan was introduced to the weight room at the rec center in middle school (part of PE), he likes to go up and work out on his own. He often looks at the ads forbodybuilding supplements and asks me about them. I don’t know enough about them to say “yay or […]

With Easter being so early this year, I have a feeling my sister-in-law won’t be setting out the teak patio furniture for us to have Easter dinner on. Alot of us ate outside on the patio last year, but then, Easter was later in the year as well. Looking at the forecast, it […]

Ok. I’ll confess. I had to Google festool when David and I were talking about work the other day, and he was telling me why he hadn’t hung the bulletin boards we had bought a month or so ago yet. He said something about Festool, and I had no clue […]

COMPULSIVE about anything?
Unfortunately, yes. Lots of things. Shopping, eating, blogging. I used to be really bad about compulsive shopping … and I still have my moments. But, I would like to think I have it better under control. We still go to Walmart from time to time, and leave […]

I don’t buy them often, I but I love looking all the different comforter sets that are out there. I was able to find one that was on sale for our camper last summer, that makes our bed area look comfortable homey. I know, what do you need a comforter for in the […]

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as highest), how much do you like your own handwriting?
7. With the age of the computer and keyboarding everything, I don’t hand write things as much as I used to, and it actually hurts now to write much at any great length. But, […]

David and I were talking the other night, and I am really excited. I knew that just one more payment (well actually, its more like a payment and a half), and my Explorer will be paid off. Thinking ahead, I thought what I would do then was … I receive 2 checks a […]

2. The sun shining without it being terribly hot.
3. Seeing my grandkids.
4. Learning some new.
5. Getting things completed — things that seem to be major projects and have been hanging over my head for awhile.
6. Scrapbooking with a […]

I can be such a duffus sometimes. This morning was a classic example. I don’t even know my own son. How bad is that??? It went something like this …
Every Monday morning, our minister, our youth director, and I meet at 8:00 to go over our calendars, share concerns that we might have, and then […]

I know this is a major step for anyone, and its still one of those “I’ll believe it when I see” kind of thing. But out of the blue lately, David has been talking about building a house. He even has the ground all picked out. No, we won’t be looking at Wilmington real estate, […]

I’m glad I had a good day. David sure didn’t. It was most definately “A” Monday for him. Started out bad, and went downhill from there. As for me, it was a nice quiet morning at the church. I got stuff ready for the board meeting tonight. Didn’t have to do prayer cards because where […]

This has been THE strangest winter. You watch the weather report. You stock up. You prepare. And then for us … its not been nearly as bad as they predicted. We’ve gotten some snow, some ice, and other yucky weather when they said we would, but it has always skirted around us. We breath a […]

It sounded like bacon sizzling outside. It was sleeting, and was just not a good deal outside. But, I ventured on into the church, and got my mission accomplished, for the most part. I have 50 directories run and bound, and ready for distribution. I will do the other 25 tomorrow. […]

Tomorrow is D-Day. Directory Day. Whooo Hooo! My boss said to let ‘em run. We have read and proof-read, we have made changes, and made phone calls to track down information. The church directory is ready to run and distribute. That is my project for tomorrow. And its only Thursday, so at the trucking company, […]

Somedays, I feel like I am juggling one ball too many. And I’m going to drop it, and the rest of them will come tumbling down as well. I did make a list over at my Life Simplified blog, and that has helped quite a bit … calming the anxiety of knowing I am probably […]
