Welcome to my new blog! Hopefully, I will be faithful to post. I miss having Facebook since it was deleted by UH (unknown hacker) but perhaps I'll use blogger for a while. Mike is still in Minn. with Josh and hopefully they are having a relaxing, good time together. I just love to go up there. I've been making alot of jewelry and die cutting flowers to make pins. I need to be working in the "lasagna garden" but it's pretty humid outside right now so that's a good enough excuse for me. I will get out later.....I've got scads of leaves in yard bags from last fall to layer on the newspaper. The leaves should be rotting nicely and make the wormies happy. I may go buy a few more worms as well.

Better go. I have to run to Target for cokes on sale this week. I just love the diet coke plus and I can't find it anywhere except at Target. Target is right next door to Hobby Lobby and they have a 40% off coupon this week. I just love both of those stores.

Blogging and other things.......

It's been months and months since I have blogged. I haven't been much of a blogger. Period. I think maybe if I had started in my 20s rather than my 50s (and now 61) I would have kept up much better. I used to multi task much better when my kids were young, I was a firefighter/EMT, active in many volunteer organizations. I cooked all the time, crafted and sewed all the time and had great ideas for what would be posts today. I'm semi-domestic, I guess. I loved being at home with the boys and taking care of my home and gardens. I loved being active in the community, school district and the occasional political hoo hah. It's how I got to meet President George W. Bush, Kay Bailey Hutchinson and I think Rick Perry. Twenty two years ago......my brain is old; my memory older. But as I've grown older, maybe wiser, maybe more in awe........so much has been let go. I still love to volunteer and for the time being have been on the Highland Village Police Department civilian aux...

Happy New Year Part 1

Image
Happy New Year? Part 1? Yes, I have been away for a long while and so much has happened. I'm breaking it up into 2 parts to try to explain all the crazy, wonderful and yes, painful things that have happened too. It's been crazy around the Brod Abode since the holidays and hasn't let up for a moment. But, all is good. Once the holidays were over I always leave up our decorations until 12th Night or the Epiphany. I enjoy them so much more after the holidays it seems because there is a bit more time to relax and focus. I planned to take them down starting on the 6th. For those of you who occasionally read my occasional blogs, our family had a major challenge handed to us last summer. Hubs, Mr. Mike, who has been a pharmacist for nearly 40 years lost his job at Express Scripts. Yeppers, they just closed the entire place down in June. This put hundreds of pharmacists and pharmacy techs out of work in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Which means those who found jobs in this area were v...

Things I Am Tired Of and Need To Be Addressed

 Haven't blogged in years so, therefore, this is a fresh start. Many people will identify with what I say; many will not. However, these are my thoughts on things that are no longer acceptable and a few slams on companies that are cheating us, if you have noticed. And, cheating others. It is never okay to just sit at home and collect money (other than retirees) when you are young, able bodied and fully capable of maintaining a job. When did we allow this to become acceptable? I believe in working for what you have, not sitting around letting your fellow Americans pay so you can do nothing. Very black and white. Wrong and right. The government (we as taxpayers) should not be funding a lifestyle you have become accustomed to over generations. It is wrong. This is no longer acceptable to me and I will be doing whatever it takes to change this in the November 24 elections. Get up off your arses and WORK for what you want! I refuse to pay for you. Let me address a HUGE elephant in the r...
