“Half-yard” Strikes Again!
I’m beginning to wonder if anyone else has issues with the equipment used to maintain a neat and tidy lawn or is it just me? I set out with the best of intentions only to have my positive attitude and willingness to conquer squashed by gas powered contraptions! Last week the mower I thought I…

Don’s “Rare” Find
I just finished reading a story on Facebook about four women that chose to attend a meeting in outfits that left very little to the imagination. There was a lot of cleavage and more bare skin than there probably needed to be and the chairman chose to address these women and the choices they made…

Subtle Differences
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between “loving” someone and being “in love” with someone? I’ve heard people separate the two on talk shows and in movies and in real life and up until a few months ago I can’t honestly say I’ve ever really thought is was possible to experience differences.

Little Gestures
If you ever want to be incredibly entertained and happy beyond belief some would say it’s up to you and that you and only you are responsible for your own happiness. I can’t say I disagree 100% but surrounding yourself with awesome people also helps. This past weekend Don and I were able to get…

Another Tragic Mower Story
I’m not sure what it is about me and mowers but last night the ornery bugger decided it didn’t want to mow the front yard. I always start by trimming and then I mow in back before moving to the front. I always shut the mower off when I push it across the driveway…

I’ve Been Here A Year!
Last year on Memorial Day weekend I made my move to a city with 67,034 people. To some this wouldn’t be a big deal but when you move from a town with a population of 128, it’s quite a change! I’m here to tell you, going from zero stop lights and no, no one is…

A Quite Frazzled Delivery Person
A bunch of years ago I worked as a floral designer for a small flower shop. When I first started, I worked with another designer but eventually he moved on and I became the main florist. There was a woman hired part time to assist me with corsages and boutonnieres for an upcoming wedding…

The Soap Box Came Out….Yikes!
Don and I don’t consume enormous amounts of adult beverages but on occasion we do find ourselves enjoying a few brews and I’ve learned over a rather lengthy amount of time that alcohol has a tendency to give my brain filters the night off. Most often, the result of my filter-less brain situation is pretty…
