One of our few tra­di­tions around here at Christ­mas time is buy­ing nuts in bulk. It is the only time they sell them that way around here. So I buy alot of almonds and wal­nuts and restock the bowl until they are gone.  For some rea­son they lasted longer this year. Today my hus­band ate […]

I was dri­ving home from town today and hap­pened to hear on the news that Sam’s Club was ter­mi­nat­ing ten thou­sand jobs and would be out­sourc­ing them. I imme­di­ately called a friend I know who works part time there and when she picked up, asked how she was. Her response was “fine con­sid­er­ing we were […]

There are days, and then there are days.….. My hus­band, busy sort­ing papers last night, did not get to bed til after 2 AM.  Know­ing this, I decided this morn­ing to not wake him, and instead, leave him a note when I left to go to town to clean our office and then attend a caucus. […]

I don’t know how. I don’t know where. I don’t know who. I do know that the mess that is the relief effort into Haiti, the mess of get­ting sim­ple water and food in, the mess of NO one being in con­trol or coor­di­nat­ing efforts to help these peo­ple, the mess of air­ports open­ing and […]

I have spent the bet­ter part of  tonight watch­ing the cov­er­age of the God awful destruc­tion in Haiti. I am so con­fused. Where is the their gov­ern­ment? Peo­ple are just lay­ing in streets, stand­ing around, hurt, con­fused, in shock and you see no signs, NO signs of any type of gov­ern­ment help!! I under­stand the […]

Because I don’t know if the per­son that did this is a man or woman I will go with he but it does not change the crime. Anyone.…ANYONE…that takes a cat and glues it’s feet to the high­way in hopes that some­one will run over it and by glu­ing  their feet give it no chance in […]
