• Sunday Fun

  This past weekend was very busy. My husband had built a boathouse about two and a half years ago so he could build his boat. He moved the boat closer to the water a few months ago and the boathouse has been empty ever since then. He took down the tarps...

• Let’s Talk Cooking

  Cooking for the family has always been a challenge because I‘ve always had a full time job. It was quite an adjustment for me when I got married three years ago. My husband is one of those people who wants to sit down together at every meal and he prefers... Posted May 12 2008, 07:27 PM by Blogette with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Everyday Life

• Locking Gas Cap

  My husband convinced me it was time to get a locking gas cap for my vehicle. Normally when he ventures into the "paranoid" zone (and he is a frequent visitor), I humor him but don't usually change any of my habits. Now that it is costing...

• Car Trouble Woes

  One thing I dread is car troubles. I know so little about cars. I think that any time I take my car into a repair shop, I'm taken advantage of. They could say, "Your flap-doodle is shot and it must be replaced." I respond with, "Oh... Posted Apr 21 2008, 04:37 PM by admin with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Everyday Life

• A place for your stuff

  My bedroom set (two dressers and a nightstand) are almost as old as I am. I got this set when I was a kid and I've carried them with me to every home I've lived in. Every time I think about changing the furniture, I end up realizing that there's... Posted Apr 16 2008, 10:23 AM by Blogette with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: Everyday Life

• Shopping

  There are two kinds of shopping. Shopping for fun, which, for me, is a new purse or pair of shoes. Then there is the mandatory shopping for household products, groceries, and the like. This kind of shopping can be a chore. I have gotten to the age where... Posted Apr 07 2008, 11:46 AM by Blogette with | with no comments Filed under: Everyday Life

• Fond Childhood Memories

  My brother is about ten years older than I am and my sister is about eight-and-a-half years older. When I was little (under 10 years of age), I think they mostly thought of me as a pest. The most my brother would say to me was "Go away, punk."... Posted Mar 24 2008, 04:51 PM by Blogette with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Everyday Life

• What's in a Duck?

  It seems fairly innocuous just sitting there on the end table. It's small, brown, and wooden. But encased in that inanimate little object, if only for me, is the most powerful emotion of all: love. Everybody has symbols and artifacts that mean something... Posted Mar 07 2008, 09:25 AM by Blogette with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Everyday Life

• Anniversary Special

  What's so special about an anniversary? Well, lots of things. First, it's a milestone; a way of saying: "Hey, we made it another year!" There's something special in citing longevity. It's an achievement all its own. We like to... Posted Feb 26 2008, 10:06 AM by Blogette with | with no comments Filed under: Everyday Life

• Valentine's Vicissitudes

  Another chance to say: "I Love You". Originally this day was set aside in honor of Saint Valentine. He is a Christian saint who died around 270. I wonder how it changed to a day of giving affection to loved ones. We all look forward to February... Posted Feb 14 2008, 09:38 AM by Blogette with | with no comments Filed under: Everyday Life
