Good Dog.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hills Pet Nutrition for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My big, red dog Lucie means the world to me. She looks out for me, makes me laugh, and she is always happy to see me. It is important to me that she is [...]

Creepy.

I was cruising around the interwebs and I ran into this story about an Austrailian family that was visiting the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. They snapped a photo looking down on the waters above the submerged ship. It looks like a face in the water. Two of my children have been to the memorial and both [...]

Down But Not Out.

Unfortunately, last Friday I along with about 50 other people at my company lost our jobs. I was not completely surprised but it was still a bit of a shock. I know that so many Americans are in this boat. I hope to find something soon. I will attend a job fair later today and [...]

Pausing for the Pretty.

I have quite a few photos in my camera that need to be edited. For awhile I was so busy that they just got pushed aside. Here are some shots of a vine that suddenly appeared on my back fence. It was a nice surprise this summer especially when the little pink flowers started blooming! [...]

One Month Away From 10 Years.

It is hard to believe that one month from now will be the 10th anniversary of 911. Hard to believe it took us 10 years to catch and kill Osama bin Laden. I am glad we did and I am glad we gotten rid of so many other evil people that want to kill us [...]

Quiet Heroine.

It Was Like a Scene From The Mummy.

I’ve been home sick the last couple of days. The weather is gearing up for monsoon. We had a couple of storms so far. One where the rain was coming down so hard that my backyard flooded within a few minutes. Another where the weather people were warning people not to come to my town. [...]

Independence Day 2011

Well, almost. So on Monday the United States of America will be 235 years old! I am going to date myself but I remember when she turned 200, the Bicentennial. I was a teen and that 4th of July was an amazing time. I lived in California at the time and me and an array [...]

No Stairs Thank You Very Much.

So, they were working on the elevators at work today. We have 4 elevators for 17 floors. I work on the fourth floor. I went on my 15 minute break and I went to the basement because it is 101° here in the desert southwest and there is not much shade around my building. Two [...]
