My Final Words for 2017 Greetings and Happy New Year’s Eve! I have really enjoyed the last two weeks, celebrating Christmas and birthdays with family. Due to the fact that both Christmas and New Year’s Day fall on a Monday, my holiday vacation time has been extra long. As much as I love Christmas time,…
When I last wrote to you, it seemed as though I was rushing headlong towards Thanksgiving and the craziness that pervades everyday until after New Year’s Eve. The holidays aren’t just busy at home; they get a little manic at work too. I am primarily referring to my job as an electronics technician. This year,…
It’s funny the expressions we sometimes use. Books have been written to explain the meaning and origin of some of the more obscure sayings; and I actually have one. I like to read it every one in a while. Some sayings though are very simple and direct. Sometimes, it’s all about the context in which…
One of the things that I think people believe about living a healthy lifestyle is that they have to stop enjoying the food that they eat. They somehow equate healthy food with plain, raw, tasteless vegetables, no more yummy burgers or steaks, and nothing sweet—ever! If that were really true, very few people would ever…
Today is a day for us to reset from a week of much activity. It is a day to fall back into our normal routine, get caught up on things, and prepare the mind for returning to work. All last week we had guests in the house. My brother and sister from Pennsylvania, along with…
I really enjoyed the mild winter. Spring has definitely come early. We didn’t even have the customary last hard freeze in early March. Eighty degree temperatures in January, and 90 degree temperatures in March have really messed with everyone’s brain. While the animals’ biological cycles are driven by the length of the daylight, plants and…
This week has been incredibly long. I have been working on a project at my day job, which has not been going well. I ended up staying late at work almost every day this week. I am installing equipment underneath a counter, where there is little room. I literally have to crawl part way into…
I have had at least one cat around for most of my life. Many were house cats, because I lived in the suburbs. They’ve been neutered males, they’ve been spayed females, and I’ve even had a couple of tomcats. Long hair, short hair, short tail, blue-eyed, Siamese looking, you name it, I’ve had quite the…
This past Sunday my oldest brother, my sister and her fiancé came into town. It has become an annual trip for them to visit our mother, who lives with me and my husband. I really am just getting to know them due to the fact that we didn’t grow up together or live near one…
Last weekend was hot, just like all of August. The 100 degree temps stretched into the first part of the week. Monday, Labor Day, was no exception. We just hung around the house, being mindful of the fact that we need time without big farm projects. My husband and I spent the morning tying up…
