• Customer Service

  Today has been a grand day. I was able to finally put aside my stress, fear and worry from the day I got this letter in the mail. Three agents really customer service advocates later my case or account is resolved. When I initially called I got a male voice who then transferred me to…

• The Border Bill Fiasco

  The Senators working on this bill waited until the last minute to share the text. Many Conservative Pundits have said this would happen. If it was this amazing bill they kept raving about why on earth did they have to work in secret and most of what was leaked out was true. They want to…

• Roller-Coaster of Emotions

  Today, February 6th is a day I don’t often forget. It is as woven into my heart as December 12th of 1999. The days that my Grandpas died. As I have said it has felt like a lot for one morning. The 19th anniversary, finding out about Toby Keith’s passing from yesterday and then is…

• Do You Live Within the Scope of the 2024 Eclipse?

  Apparently I do. For at least a year actually maybe longer I have heard about this eclipse. Especially last year people were already making reservations for this opportunity to be within our state among the scope of its travel. Fortunately I don’t have to worry about that. Other than taking a field trip to the…

• After Church Thoughts

  Lately I have been writing less on Saturdays. Letting myself go with the flow and doing some cross-stitching projects that are for specific times. It has been somewhat fun getting back into this creative fissure once again I had put it away for quite a while. It is nice to not be on my laptop…

• Movies In Real-Life

  It is so hard to not like Kevin Bacon. I grew up with the original Footloose, I loved the music it is such a classic movie for my generation. However, he leans somewhat liberal in this thinking unfortunately. There is a movie he did in 2009 called, “Taking Chance.” This afternoon while I watched the…

• Cherry Kisses

  In the whole of our relationship it’s been texts and emoji’s. We have talked on the phone a bit as well. For the month of February for Bryan I am using a photo of cherries and chocolate to be my Cherry Kisses metaphor. I can’t reproduce the actual cherry kisses stickers he sends me. However,…

• February Blues

  I have long felt as if this month is the hardest month to live through. Too many hearts and couples stuff going on for my taste. Not because I don’t love love, but because of how lonely it was for all the singles including me. Even with a boyfriend it’s still hard to not feel…

• The Months Go By

  This book has my name and the year I was born written in it by my mother. So I am guessing it was bought for me that year. When I think of ‘The Lady and the Tramp’ I think of Grandma Rosie and watching the movie with her. I didn’t realize I had this book.…

• Singing… & Strawberries

  Music is good for the soul. God created music to be used for worshiping Him. It’s also a way to relate with family nowadays. Yesterday it was, for me and Selena, for certain. I have what now is an old CD. I am not certain the name of it only that the musician was Deena…
