This site occasionally features paid posts -- even so, they are 100% my honest opinion. I endeavor to promote only products I have used, or am willing to use, myself.

Y’know, it’s one thing when you yourself pull stakes and move to Honolulu. But it’s quite another when someone else decides to throw in with you. Really makes you think. Like, here we are, planting ourselves on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. What have we got to look forward to? I [...]

Jackie, my sister who blogs, and Caryl, my sister who doesn’t blog, are a great comedy team. Fun to watch, but somewhat difficult to interact with. Picture me watching this conversation like a tennis match …. Jackie: Caryl, you’re over-watering. Everywhere I dug in the garden, the holes filled up with water. Caryl: I only [...]

I left Roy, Utah at 9 a.m. yesterday morning. For awhile it looked as though I wasn’t leaving at all. I asked the motel desk clerk for directions to the nearest north bound freeway on ramp, and she didn’t know where the freeway was. Instead I got directions to a gas station. I could see [...]

I didn’t get all of my packing done last night. I worked until I was so punch drunk I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be doing. I finally decided — with some prompting from OC (on the phone) – to get some sleep and hit it fresh in the morning. I slept. No, I [...]

The church sent me off in true United Methodist fashion — with a fork in my hand. We had a potluck. People stood and shared their memories of me. Told my secrets. And said what it was they would remember most. They made me cry. The Three Sopranos (a choir trio, not the mob) sang [...]

This is how much I will be missed. We had a big Sidewalk “Splash” event today. One kid showed up. Fifty dollars worth of food. A couple dozen water guns. One huge tub. The staff — and the kid — had a blast. At one point they all ganged up on me and I went from [...]

I’ve been saving my pocket change for three years. I’d just clean out my pockets and my purse every few days and pitch the money in a bucket — yep, a bucket. I took all those wonderous coins to the bank. I had to make three trips because they were to heavy to carry in [...]

I keep packing, but nothing seems to disappear! Somebody come help me! I have no organizational skills. I do everything three times. I move this from here to there and back again. I can’t tell you how many times I resisted the urge to pitch it all out in the yard and whistle for the [...]

At the post office one should be able to POST things, right? Wrong! There is a postal sub-station about a half-mile from my house. I don’t do business there because the folks are surly, and if I have a question — or need them to weigh a package and determine proper postage — they snarl [...]

Most of you know I worked four jobs this past year. I didn’t do it because I am a glutten for punishment. I did it because I wanted something that wouldn’t fit into my normal budget. Therefore, I had to find a way to finance it outside my budget, and I am not delusional enough [...]
