So far in life we have all had jobs that hopefully have filled our coffers with chook. Or in other words we have had jobs that filled our pockets with coins. That’s why we work isn’t it? For the paycheck. Getting paid whether from an employer or from a customer, it is all work for pay. We work, we … [Read more...] about Obscurity of Past Jobs
One Piece of Clothing at a Time
If you know your closet or dresser you know exactly where your favorite shirt or pants or cut-offs live. Depending on the season I have a favorite t-shirt for summer and sweat shirt for winter. I of course do not have a favorite dress. I don’t even own a dress. Why I have a few pair of shoes that … [Read more...] about One Piece of Clothing at a Time
Seating Arrangements
Nobody will admit it when they discover they are in a rut. Nobody will admit it when they are unable or worse yet, unwilling to dig themselves out of a rut. Oh, and nobody will admit it when they would rather have a good roast beef sandwich for dinner than meatloaf. Okay that last one is only good … [Read more...] about Seating Arrangements
Even Trades are Grand Deals
In life as experiences and opportunities pop up I like to think I make good decisions. Good decisions make good deals. I have always thought and said that it’s only a good deal when both parties walk away with happy in their hearts and smiles on their faces. Does that make me look like I live with … [Read more...] about Even Trades are Grand Deals
I Had a Plan
Days are finally warming. Finally, I say finally! It’s the time of the year, when the tiny tuffs of emerald green along the roads speckle their way out into fields and replace the bronze of winter giving hope of the upcoming summer. I can’t hardly wait to work in the yard. Do all the things that … [Read more...] about I Had a Plan
The Wonderment of It All
Not that I spend a lot of time in the past, but I was, just a few days ago in the presents of two young kids. I watched with amazement their wonderment. They visited me in my world, a world they had never been to before and everything was new. When someone comes to visit I tell them when they get … [Read more...] about The Wonderment of It All
Company Cleaning
I get very nervous when I have company coming. That’s crazy because I love to have company come to visit. It’s crazier still because I really believe that if company comes to see the dust in my house instead of seeing little ole me, that is not the company I want to keep near and dear. It must be a … [Read more...] about Company Cleaning
Locked In
Although I think some might think it uncultured to talk of stuff concerning the bathroom. I am going to talk about a bathroom incident so hold onto your knickers. Long ago and far away, ok, like 35 years ago in central Idaho. There is a wonderful lake, Red Fish Lake, where we loved to go camping … [Read more...] about Locked In
Security Screws and Boxes
In a perfect world nothing would ever need to be fiddled with. Especially by me. In a perfect world the wood pile would magically grow an extra piece every time I took an arm load off of it to burn and warm my backside. In a perfect world my television would know when I fall asleep and turn itself … [Read more...] about Security Screws and Boxes
Cloud, what cloud?
About a year ago I learned what a flash drive was. It was one of those light bulb shining moments for me. It came about in such a strange way. I had to send some pictures to an editor. Before I sent them off I sent them to a friend to make sure they met with her standards as she was the one who … [Read more...] about Cloud, what cloud?
Faster, faster you slow cooker
In my youth, well and sometimes still today, I liked to drive very fast cars. Racing is either in your blood or it isn’t. It’s in my blood. The saying, “the need for speed” is so real that it can carry over in your every day life. Mowing the lawn; varoom and done. Feeding pets; throw and go with the … [Read more...] about Faster, faster you slow cooker
Perceptions
Just the other day I was thinking about playing baseball. It has been more than a few years since I have played baseball. Okay it was softball, with a blow up ball! There are nine people on the field and every one of those fielders are there for one reason. To keep the guy at bat from touching not … [Read more...] about Perceptions
Call A Friend
I got a phone call from a long time friend. As soon as I saw her name pop up on my teeny tiny blue phone screen I was propelled back to when we were in grade school. Playing in the 5th grade on the school play ground talking about Dennis, the boy she had a crush on and John the one I kinda liked. As … [Read more...] about Call A Friend
Lunch vs. Luncheon
I hope you have a favorite place to go out to eat. I’m here to tell you that it takes a long time to not only make old friends, but to find a good place to go out to eat. I sometimes get sucked up into the things on my home page that want to tell me all about the best places in each state to eat. To … [Read more...] about Lunch vs. Luncheon
