The sum total of today: My car broke down and would not start and is currently in the shop. We had a horrible storm pass through during the night. We had no power for 12 hours. Several trees came down so the roof, yard, and other car are covered in tree limbs, pine branches andContinue reading “The Hilarious Short Answer – No!”

I am teaching myself how to make a quilt! I found a reasonably priced heavy duty sewing machine for quilting, and of course, a how-to video on YouTube. My daughter taught herself how to crochet to make some handmade gifts for Christmas so we are having a great time!

When people risk their own safety and comfort on behalf of someone they don’t know amazes me. That’s courage and a character trait all its own.

Calvin and Hobbes has been one of my favorites for a long long time. I have every single one of the Calvin and Hobbes books and I always loved his “creative” snowmen! And having been a parent of two teenage boys, Zits is the best. I have saved several of the comic strips about theContinue reading “Tie between Zits and Calvin and Hobbes”

I need to worry less and stress less about things that have not taken place yet Worrying about tomorrow or the next day steals today’s joy
