If you have ever built a house in modern times, you know they don’t build it board-by-board. The parts of the house arrives in pieces, essentially puzzle pieces. Sections are already put together and ready to be raised. Pieces are even numbered so the contracted construction workers take a piece, attach it to the foundation,… Continue reading Modern Construction
Wrong People for These Political Times
Every day since the Democrats took power, I wake up feeling a little safer, a little less stressed, and wondering why they still can’t get it together. What I mean by that is we still don’t have so many things that were promised by Biden and the Democrats if they were given the majority power.… Continue reading Wrong People for These Political Times
A New Obsession
Every once in a while I get a hankering to try to make something different than I’ve made before. Lately in cooking, it has been making a better burger. The last few times of making them, the ingredients have been a little different. Part of the experimenting is with the meat combination. Over the past… Continue reading A New Obsession

If you haven’t watched Zoe’s Extraordinary Playlist, you are missing a very cute feel good show with lots of great singing, acting, and busting of moves. There is a common storyline, but it is told with characters breaking into song to express their inner feelings, but only Zoe can hear them.

Volunteer Day
Today was my last time to volunteer for my youngest’s band invitational. Been going since 7:30 this morning and just got home. No blog post today as brain is fried, and so is my body.

There are always plenty of opportunities to volunteer, from guides to concessions to hospitality. My favorite place to volunteer is with hospitality. This area is in charge of providing food for… Continue reading Time for the Invitational
Impactful People
Over this past weekend, I was talking with a friend I have known over 40 years. Yes, we met when I was a teenager. As we were talking about our life’s paths, she asked, or wondered aloud, how we had overcome the circumstances of our childhoods. We both grew up poor and experienced what many… Continue reading Impactful People
Ohio State vs Tulsa
Saturday is normally my day to write about politics. Today was just too good to delve into politics this evening, but don’t worry, I have my topic for next weekend already. Late last night, I received a text from Jeff, a dear friend of mine in Ohio. He was asking me if I wanted two… Continue reading Ohio State vs Tulsa
Green Beans and Corn
I’m starting to get a handle on using the pressure canner. I used it again this past weekend. We have a local farmer’s market, which is winding down for the season. Since I was out of town, I asked my husband to get a few things for me. One request was for 18 ears of… Continue reading Green Beans and Corn
Apple Heaven!
Today was the big Apple announcement day! It has been a while since I could watch it live, so turned on the recording at dinner time. Call me a nerd, but there were times I got the chills listening to the new tech and watching the little videos of possibilities! The sad part of the… Continue reading Apple Heaven!
