This hangs in our front entry hall as a fun reminder of loved ones in my past. Meet Aunt Helen, Grandma Nill, and Aunt Esther. Classy ladies, each. Now you know why a big smile covered my face this morning when I saw this on Pinterest. I might have to learn how to knit (again).

Mauri is no longer alarmed when I tell him I’m going out to the garage to hang myself. This is my scenic view of the garage ceiling ten minutes twice a day from the inversion table my chiropractor insisted I purchase—and use! I was justifiably skeptical, given the many attempts I’ve made to fix what [...]

And this is why I have never been and never will become a public speaker. Today, as part of my Medicare wellness exam, I was asked by the doctor to name as many animals as I could in one minute. OK, go. Dog, cat, gerbil, hamster, um, snake, think zoo elephant, giraffe, lion, um, hippo, [...]

We got a call today from the bank that sponsors our credit card, that plastic wonder that makes spending money so easy. Turns out someone tried to rip us off. One $5,100+ charge for industrial supplies and another $500+ for something I was too dazed to remember. Thankfully we pay a little bit each month [...]

Sunday morning. Our monthly family dinner set-up is complete, unless the family expects there might be a hint of Christmas in our surroundings. Instead of pulling something festive down from the attic, I’m here at my desk paying bills and playing with my new camera. It’s been several cameras ago that I could get such [...]
