A Few of My Favorite Things
We’ve been in Texas for two months plus a little more. During that time, I’ve run across a few things that have become favorites that I’ll miss when we go back to Home Base (this is Home 2). I thought I’d share a few of them. One. I love the iced tea shops around here. […]
We’ve Done It Again
Is there such a thing as a nomadic homebody? We’re housesitting again so we’re not at home, yet we’re home. Where is home? When Hubby and I say it’s time to go home, which home are we talking about? In spite of thinking that I’d never housesit again, here we are in our daughter’s house […]
Making Time for Friendships
This past week had a few more interesting things in it than the usual routine. While I love dull weeks, meaning nothing major or stressful occurred, most of the time, it’s nice to have a little variety on occasion. You see, I’m an introvert that likes to be stay inside my house. When I get […]

This past week, I realized how easily I get spoiled. During the cruise, it was having all my meals cooked and ready for me to eat; having my bed made and my room cleaned without any effort on my part; and having the bathroom seemingly clean itself. I could get used to cruise life very […]

Another Birthday
Another birthday has come and gone, but I don’t feel any older. My daughter sent me a birthday card about still being 29, and I won’t argue with her. My mother-in-law was 29 for most of her life. When Hubby turned 29, she sent him a birthday card that said, “Now we’re the same age!” […]
Old Cars, Small Bank Accounts
An anniversary recently passed. It’s been 20 years since we bought our car. In those 20 years, we’ve moved three times and owned three different houses. We keep cars longer than houses. We traded in our old 1999 Honda Accord, the one that had hit a calf, the one that had been driven in the […]
Year One in South Dakota
It’s been a year since we packed up our Boise house and came to South Dakota. Our original intent was to help take care of Hubby’s mother, but she passed a few weeks before we moved. Things such as working with realtors and storage unit rentals were already in motion and rather than try to […]
