Since December 24th, my beloved Jeep has been sleeping outside rather than in the garage. Anyone who knows me knows how unacceptable this is . . . if you have a garage, vehicles go in it.
Hubby got a hankering to finally start the remodel of our laundry/garage/mud room. We have this older home (1979) that [...]

Does Popcorn Have Sugar In It?
Lent starts tomorrow . . . Jason and I have been talking about Lent and what it means and why you do what you do, etc. I told him I’m giving up sugar again (clarification - I don’t eat or drink anything with sugar as one of the first 3 ingredients). He said he wanted [...]
You Think You Know Someone
I have a good friend that I’ve known for over 10 years - I met her when I worked with her husband. I always knew she came to America from Vietnam when she was 18. I also knew that her father is an American, which made life for her very difficult in Vietnam. That was [...]
I’m Calling A Do-Over

A Home Fit For A Spy
Today, I helped my kids purchase the rest of the stuff they needed for Spy and design Spy’s home.
No clue why I was completely incapable of taking an unblurry photo of the top view of Spy’s home.
I’m sure you’ve figured out that Spy is a hamster . . . a hamster we do not yet own. [...]
