It seems I’m always in a hurry these days. Rushing to get out the door in the morning, hurrying through my day that never seems to have enough hours in it, and trying to squeeze in one more task before I go to bed. This week I made a quick run to Meijer during my … Continue reading Breakdown at the Cart Corral
It seems like a lot of people have home security cameras these days. According to Strategy Analytics (whoever they are) 16% of U.S. households have video doorbells. That’s an estimated 20 million homes and growing. We have a video doorbell at our front door, and a video only camera at the back of our house. … Continue reading On the Inside Looking Out
In November, I blogged about a journal I purchased – 1000 Things You Don’t Know About Me.

I love listening to music, but on my commute back and forth to work, I’m all about audiobooks.

However, I do try to sprinkle in the occasional non-fiction book, much like a mother trying to get … Continue reading Try to Remember
When I was a kid, I spent a fair amount of time running around the neighborhood with friends, and as luck would have it, there was a creek that ran through some of the neighborhood backyards. We wiled away many an hour looking for crayfish, avoiding bloodsuckers (leeches), and poking anything available (sticks, toes, fishing … Continue reading Watch Out for Quicksand!
When I started blogging almost three years ago, I had a half dozen ideas or so. I wondered how many blogs I could write before I ran out of ideas. Eight? Ten? I hoped more would come to me as I went along. Wow! Did they ever. The more I wrote, the more ideas I … Continue reading Random Blog Thoughts
