Every year I do my best to avoid buying swimsuits. I love to swim, but I hate to be seen in a swimsuit. I hate to be reminded of the fact that I am getting old, gaining weight, and looking rather lumpy under a lycra blend. This year, I decided to throw caution to the […]

It’s time to buy a new swing set. For several years the children have made due with an older set I bought at a yard sale. It has become quite rusted and most of the paint is chipped off. Aside from being an eyesore, I think it is fair to say it is a downright […]

If you ever see me golfing, you will notice I often have a frown on my face. I am worthless at the sport, and if I had my druthers I would never play again. My husband likes golf so-so. I think he more enjoys it as a social function rather than considering it a social […]

I am hoping to put a new glass block window in the back of my house this summer. It is on the top of my to do list. Over the years we have attempted many projects - some more successful than others. One thing I can say for certain is, things go much smoother when […]

Hardware issues, software issues, sometimes they simply become obsolete. My husband insists I load too many programs onto the computer, but I am […]

Several weeks ago I was in the midst of planning a vacation when I x’d out of the reservation screen and decided there was simply no way we could afford it. While we put vacation money aside, I never anticpated the escalating cost of gas or food. Even more frightening will be the final cost […]

The economy appears to be in quite a tailspin. The more I read, the less confidant I am. While I am no financial expert, there seems to be an even greater crisis loaming on the horizon. I am starting to see the wisdom of putting your money under your mattress as my great grandmother once […]

I’d like to think I know much about what is going on in the world -specifically the tech world, but obviously that is not the case. I had to be reminded of my age and ignorance this weekend when I went with my younger sister to look for video cards. What are video cards? Why […]

A few years ago I wanted to detoxify. I ordered a book which provided a recipe and diet- for lack of a better word which was to be followed for 30 days. I did not make it a whole day! Within hours I was so sick I was bed ridden. I had a migraine that […]
