I ventured outside my house today for the first time in over a week. I had some packages to mail, something to drop off at the lumber company, and I needed to pick up a few things at Walmart. So, I got my list together and put on a mask that a reader Sue had…
How many of you are getting sick and tired of being at the house ALL of the time? This might fall under the saying, “be careful what you wish for; you might just get it.” Staying at home sounds so wonderful and inviting, and, for the most part, it is exactly that. But, sometimes, too…
The new normal for a lot of families are keeping in touch and talking to each other through a free app called ZOOM. Zoom is a video and audio conferencing app that can be downloaded on any device. A lot of doctor’s offices are now utilizing this app so that they can see and talk…
Some of you might have seen (here) where I talked about a refrigerator that we had quit working, and all of the food that we had inside it ruined. That refrigerator was on the outside, under a covered area by the pool, so we didn’t catch that it has quit working until it was too…

Years ago, we updated our stove and refrigerator in the kitchen. I’m not sure what we did with the stove, but the fridge was still good, so we put it in a covered area near the pool. We usually keep drinks and popsicles in it for the kids, and it also serves as an over-flow…
Ladies, you don’t hear me vent very often, but today I am going to get on my soapbox. There is a special place in you know where for people who try to prey on the scared, the elderly, the hurting, and those who believe everything they hear or see. I got an email yesterday from…
I could have titled this blog post, “If you can’t beat them, you might as well join them.” Lol! Last week I showed you loungewear (here) and today my post is all about “staying in” and being comfortable while you there. I’ve had so many of you saying that you’re staying in your PJ’s all-day-long,…
