This evening I activated my son’s new iPhone. I didn’t need a Verizon person when I bought it. Didn’t really need a live person to even order it (although I did need an agent to walk me through some things via online chat). I didn’t need a live person to set the phone up or… Continue reading Will the Jobs Come Back?

Shocked, but Not Really Surprised
As I wrote yesterday, last evening was an emotional one with tears shed as information was shared and erroneous statements uncovered. As parents, we want to protect our children as best we can, wanting to keep certain facts and information to ourselves so the hurts and pains of the past remain where we’d like them,… Continue reading Shocked, but Not Really Surprised
We Have Great Neighbors!
We have been twice blessed with great neighbors! In Albuquerque, we got to know our neighbors, helped them when we could, and heavens knows how much they helped us with the kids, and in not asking too many questions during some rough times. We all made sure to keep any eye on one another’s places… Continue reading We Have Great Neighbors!
It Pays to Ask
There are things all of us want. Some of us will ask for it, some of us won’t. I’m one who will usually, won’t say always, but usually will ask if I want something. There are two answers I’ll get by asking. It will be either yes, or it will be no. I’ve never died… Continue reading It Pays to Ask
Why is Picture Placement so Challenging?
As I walk around our home, I have missed seeing many of the pictures we had hanging, or were displayed, throughout our former home.

To me, nothing… Continue reading Why is Picture Placement so Challenging?

I would characterize myself as more of a spiritual person over a religious person. The person I speak to the most on religious questions is my mom. Her… Continue reading This Bible Verse is on My Mind
The Great Compromise Has Begun
A few days ago I wrote a post entitled, The Great Compromise. When I wrote it, I thought it might still be a little while before we would get to that point. Apparently my thinking was way off. The great compromise has begun. There are forces pushing boundaries to see what we will tolerate and… Continue reading The Great Compromise Has Begun

As she often does, she inspired me today. Here are things I am grateful for today: +Both my husband and I chose wisely. +My grandson has… Continue reading A Statement of Gratitude for Today
What Does Safe Look Like?
The man in the Oval Office wants the country to reopen. The lead medical expert in the nation, Dr. Fauci, says the virus and data will drive the timeline to do so. The man in the Oval Office doesn’t care too much for what the lead medical expert says because it doesn’t align with his… Continue reading What Does Safe Look Like?
Took a Break Today
Since we had to cancel our June New York trip, I decided I would take a vacation day for today. I needed something different as the staying at home, although I know it’s needed and why, is getting old. My day was a nice respite. I was able to sleep in a little bit because… Continue reading Took a Break Today
