Getting Past the Obstacles
I bought a jar of pickles this past week. It remains unopened because no one in this house can open it. I’m not sure what to do now. Should I take it to church and see if anyone there can open it? Should I visit a neighbor (I know none of them) and see if […]
Fatigue
I’m tired! I’m over Covid, so it’s not related to that. I attribute it to the several days spent visiting my parents which is stressful. It’s not their fault…not completely. Let’s just say we don’t see eye to eye about their plans or as I see it, the lack of them. Their physical situation is […]
Time for Screening
Everyone should use sunscreen on all exposed skin and a hat for the skin under your hair. Trust me; you’ll regret it if you don’t. I spent my youth laying in the sun, getting blistering sunburns on multiple occasions. I even went skiing on a sunny day with my face bare in the sun and […]

While we’ve been praying for rain in the Texas Panhandle, they’re praying they don’t have to shovel another foot of snow again. We spent a very comfortable time in […]

Having to learn something new becomes less attractive the older I get. That said, doctors say the best way to keep you mind in good shape is to keep learning new […]
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 […]
