Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s that time of year when we are supposed to be thankful for all that we have. We shouldn’t confine thankfulness to one day or even one month a year but be grateful every day for all the good things in our lives. We sing one of my favorite songs in church “Count Your Many […]
Stepping Out
Recently, Hubby and I did something we rarely do. We went out at night. We don’t do that much since neither of us feels comfortable about driving around at night. Too many critters waiting to jump in front of our truck and crazy drivers going too fast makes us prefer quiet nights at home. We […]
Visiting Battlefields
Our annual Sibling Trip went well this year although it started off very rough. Arriving in Baltimore the first day, we had reservations for a minivan, reservations for lodging, and hungry stomachs. What we didn’t know was all the rental vehicles there were gone due to Hurricane Helene. We were afoot. We could always get […]
Thankful for Long-Lasting Gifts
I saw a meme on Facebook today that reminded me of how many lifelong gifts I’ve received from friends and family. While they may never realize what impact they’ve had on me, I value the gift of their lessons they taught me. I can’t list them all here, there are too many, but I’ll tell […]

I talked about it in an earlier blog, December of 2014 to be exact, so if you don’t know what that is, click that link to read about how multibillion dollar satellites are used to find little containers with registers in them in the […]
Making a Mess
I got the bright idea to make a beef bourguignon stew this weekend. I’d had it a long time ago and loved it. Since it sounded so good to me, I decided to make a pot of it. I got a recipe off the internet and armed with the list of ingredients, visited the grocery […]
Mechanical Awareness
Last week, I admitted to being totally ignorant about financial matters when I was much younger. This week, let me tell you how stupid I was where my poor car was concerned. I freely admit I wasn’t too smart when I got out of high school. My grades made me appear to be, but the […]
