every day's just like starting over
and that's not always a good thing
Since I was at REI yesterday to return a couple of things, I decided to buy some more bars to try in anticipation of needing snacks for backpacking this summer. Kangaroo had told me that the ProBar Meal On-the-Go bars were tasty, so I bought one of those, the Banana Nut Bread flavor. I also… Continue reading More Bars
This morning I went to Target. I locked my van with the key fob when I left to go into the store, and then unlocked it when I came out of the store to put my purchases in. When I tried to lock it before I went to take the cart back, it wouldn't work.… Continue reading Locks
I was vising at Dad's the other day and was perusing the library, which I had not gone through yet after going through Mom's things after she passed away. I found a number of books I wanted to bring home with me, including Housekeeping in Old Virginia. I opened up the book saw that it… Continue reading Old Virginia
As many of you know, I have a business where I sell vintage items on Etsy. You can go to my Etsy store by clicking the picture of the Jack Russell Terrier on the right of your screen, but at this point I have nothing listed so it wouldn't help very much in understanding what… Continue reading Preparation

In making some life goals for 2025, I have come up with a list of things I won't be buying next year, in no particular order: Stuff to sell on… Continue reading Nickels and Dimes – 2025

When I first decorated my office I had planned on a woodsy hiking theme, so I painted… Continue reading Office Revamp
Tuesday morning when Philip was in his catio, I heard "RRRRRRROWRRrrrrRRR!!!" A neighbor cat we usually don't see in our yard was on the patio and growling at Philip. Philip puffed all up and tried to get the cat, but of course he couldn't because he was inside his catio. The neighbor cat wouldn't stop… Continue reading Ouch
TLDR: This is a long post about our hike and some history at Champoeg State Park. Please do follow the links to read even more about the park and town! On Friday we chose to go to Champoeg State Park at Kangaroo's suggestion. It has many trails and a lot of neat history to learn… Continue reading Hike – Champoeg State Park
I went to the pulmonary doctor this week because my primary care doctor is concerned that my asthma isn't well controlled. She prescribed the Trelegy inhaler, which has another medicine in it compared to my other inhaler. The Trelegy inhaler is just one puff once a day, which is better than the 2 puffs twice… Continue reading Allergy
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its… Continue reading Running
