Even though living in the Desert Southwest during the summer can be a bit hot. One perk is the Monsoon storms that we frequently experience. If we are lucky then storms roll in during the afternoon and bring cool breezes, rain, and sometimes a great light show. They can bring the humidity too, but it [...]
Right here actually. I needed a bloggie break because I did not have much to say for awhile. A lot has happened in the past few weeks. A lot has happened over the past year. Just to recap, I lost my job last August. I moved out of my own place and back into a [...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Quaker Oats for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I just discovered a great product that would have made a nice addition to my recent camping trip. When you are out hiking in the mountains, you have to watch what you are packing. The [...]
If you have been reading this blog, know I have been without a job for quite awhile. I am so happy to say I am now employed again and looking forward to starting my life again. I spent quite a few months searching for employment. I was very maddening and frustrating. Years ago, it was [...]

But, most days they just tear through the house, up and down the stairs and stealthily steal toys from one another. Sneaky they are. Tug-a-war is [...]

She is also former army and created an American Flag placemat. Please check out her wonderful creations and let me know what you plan [...]
Skylar Laine was kicked off American Idol this week. I have not watched this season. In fact I really have not watched much in the past seasons. Too many shows. Not enough time. I like this song and her performance. I am quite sure she has a great career ahead of her and she will [...]
Last night as Lucie my big, red dog and I went to bed I noticed a strange buzzing. I soon figured out we had a fly in the room. I do not have a TV at this point so I use my laptop to watch movies and shows. Works well and it is better than [...]
