I was reminded yesterday of the power of faith and was humbled by it all at the same time.I have a friend who has been through a jaw-dropping amount of sadness in the past five years. First, her husband of 16 years went to the ER with what everyone thought was a kidney stone but turned out to be cancer…. Read more »
I recently happened upon a haiku on a humor website. I really wish I could remember which one as I’d love to give them credit, but alas I cannot. It went like this: Haiku’s are easy to write But they don’t always make sense Refrigerator I found this highly amusing and have been composing a few of my own. I… Read more »
If you’ve ever met me or read my blog you are well aware of my long-standing love affair with Bon Jovi. And so of course I had to get their Greatest Hits album and of course I had to get the “Ultimate” 2 CD version! So, for the past 3 weeks I have been listening this 2 CD set pretty… Read more »
One of the many things that have frustrated me lately is the failure of society as a whole to concentrate on the real problems we are facing as a country and a planet and instead to spend countless hours on things that really aren’t all that important.

And some of the things I wanted when I was young I no longer want- like Guess jeans or a Barbie Dream House. Today I have used… Read more »

And yes, I did steal this title from a Toby Keith song in case you were wondering. I’ll warn you right now- this blog is… Read more »
I can’t even Tweet! Not sure what’s going on but hope to be blogging again soon!
I spend this past weekend in the rural Minnesota community I grew up in. I spent some real quality time with my cousin and my grandfather. I did some power shopping and actually found pants that fit me- which is quite a challenge for a 6 foot tall woman. I had 2 moments on this excursion that I wasn’t expecting… Read more »
Tonight at my workplace there was a Chamber After Five event to celebrate the former owner’s 50 years of service to the company (he started as Controller in 1959 and is still on the board of directors today). 50 years. Just think about that. I cannot fathom being anywhere for 50 years. As much as I want to stay at… Read more »
