Life is full of surprises. My husband and I bought our first boat in 2015. Boy, did we get fleeced! It’s not the first time we’ve been taken advantage of because we didn’t do our homework and were totally unprepared. With most purchases, especially the ‘big ones’, I research the hell out of them beforeContinue reading “April 21, 2021 – Boating Adventures”

April 19, 2021 – Hawaiian Adventures
I consider myself very fortunate. I’ve had the opportunity to travel to many places over my lifetime. When I was a kid, I’d heard about Hawaii and yearned to go there someday. I grew up in a location where if you had to place a bet on the weather, if you bet on ‘rain’, you’dContinue reading “April 19, 2021 – Hawaiian Adventures”
April 17, 2021 – Houseguest Etiquette
‘Pack it in, pack it out’ is a term that many people who hike and/or camp are familiar with. In essence, it applies to outdoor spaces and the condition you and I should leave them in when we actually ‘leave’. I interpret it to mean that whatever I bring with me in order to enjoyContinue reading “April 17, 2021 – Houseguest Etiquette”
April 15, 2021 – Painter’s Cramp
A few days ago, I intended to dedicate several hours towards painting my ‘Dancing Buskers’. After much deliberation, I thought changing the manner in which I was painting might help give me better insight on how to proceed. I know. It was a long shot but I was desperate and figured, “Why not?” The wayContinue reading “April 15, 2021 – Painter’s Cramp”
April 13, 2021 – Things that make you go ‘hmmm’.
As much as I enjoyed dancing to C+C Music Factory back in the day, this post is completely unrelated to their hit song. It’s also not about my brother Turtle and how he turned my Hawaiian family vacation (with my husband and children) on its head. I had every intent on writing about it becauseContinue reading “April 13, 2021 – Things that make you go ‘hmmm’.”
April 1, 2021 – A waste of a day.
I feel kind of ridiculous at the moment. I talked a big game a couple of nights ago about all the time I was going to gain by only writing every other day. There’s more than enough to do so I figured that with all of the extra time, I could really make a dentContinue reading “April 1, 2021 – A waste of a day.”
March 20, 2021 – Time to get organized!
I don’t know about you, but I don’t find it comforting to purchase something, only to discover I had it all along. That’s what happened today. Because I finished painting the bathroom trim yesterday, I finally got around to putting all of the paint and assorted paint supplies back into the laundry room. As IContinue reading “March 20, 2021 – Time to get organized!”
March 19, 2021 – A Sense of Accomplishment
There are so many things in life that take perseverance and commitment and discipline, especially when those things are specific goals we have set for ourselves. Of all the things in life, when we finally achieve those goals that we have sought to complete, there is no greater sense of accomplishment. Today I am feelingContinue reading “March 19, 2021 – A Sense of Accomplishment”
March 16, 2021 – Unsolicited Advice
Has anyone ever asked you how you were doing when you were having a difficult day? I’ve had it happen more times than I’d care to admit to. And if I was like most people, I would probably respond with ‘alright’ or ‘good’, followed by a ‘how are you?’ But I have a tendency toContinue reading “March 16, 2021 – Unsolicited Advice”
March 15, 2021 – Things I have learned.
Birthdays are a great time to reflect. Yesterday was my birthday and I thought a lot about what I’ve experienced over the past few months. There is so much to learn in this lifetime; each year continually delivers new and unexpected challenges. As the years have advanced, what I have found to be even moreContinue reading “March 15, 2021 – Things I have learned.”
