A local school board recently voted to start the process to change their mascot. Currently it’s the Mohawks, so it’s certainly time. And of course, because that’s just how we are as a nation now, there is a small but vocal group who are angry about this. And just to add a layer of crazy to this, the Facebook group… Read more »
Recently Pat and I took a trip to California- the Hollywood/ Burbank area of Los Angeles to be exact. And yes, we had a great time even though we managed to be in town during an unusual heat wave- 90+ degrees every day is a little warm for my tastes! People frequently say that California is like another country. And,… Read more »
This past week my husband and I have both been battling a nasty cold. We have many of the same symptoms, but not all. I am not going to gross you out with details, but safe to say it’s been a pretty ugly week around here. I suppose it’s pretty normal, but I have been asked approximately a zillion times if… Read more »
I’m not a big believer in conspiracy theories. The biggest reason why is pretty simple- I don’t believe that at any point the US government has had the resources/ ability to pull off the crazy things they’ve been accused of.

“American was founded to be a Christian nation”. You’ve probably seen this statement on social media. It’s been floating around for ages. And it’s 100% wrong.

If you’ve been on the internet for more than 5 minutes you’ve noticed that there is a lot of finger pointing going on between generations. The Baby Boomers ruined the (insert resource here). Millennials are ruining the (insert name here) industry. Gen Z doesn’t understand (insert topic here). If you are observant, you’ll notice that one generation is almost never… Read more »
Over the years I’ve heard many a parent say “when (insert name of child here) turns 18 they can do whatever they want”. Really? Really? And, yes, I know I don’t have kids, and to a certain percentage of the population that means I have no capability to understand ANYTHING related to parenthood. But I was a kid, almost… Read more »
Seriously people. Just do it. Unless you are under the age of 18, or been advised by an actual board certified medical doctor that you shouldn’t get the vaccine, there is NO EXCUSE to not be vaccinated against COVID by now. None. Zero. Nadda. No, I’m not interested in reading some article you found online about 5G or mind control. … Read more »
Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day. Yes, I mark this one every year because this one is that important to me. As you know, for the past 15 years I have shared my home with a number of black beauties. We currently have 2 adult black cats, Pumpkin and Boots, and one of Lilly’s kittens is black as well.
