Costco has been good to us when it comes to our electronic purchases and today was no exception. Last February when Mother started going downhill and we needed to take turns staying up with her all night, Lynn went to Costco and purchased a Nintendo DS and games to help me stay awake during my [...]
We’re summerizing the camper (Eco 14 foot) and getting it ready for our maiden voyage of the year … all the way to Zion’s National Park, which thankfully is only about an hour’s drive east of our house. Wow … I found this awesome map that shows you how lucky we are to live in [...]
I went shopping today and flicked on the car radio on the way into town. From one station to another all I could hear were negative commentators with egotistical opinions telling me and other listeners how stupid we are if we don’t follow their narrow minded points of view. One of them used the word [...]
I finally made a profit on my doggy hair cutting business. I’ve cut enough “do’s” to pay for the expensive equipment I bought last September. You can’t just run to K-Mart and buy dog clippers on sale … and when you fork over the $200 for the clippers then you have to buy the blades [...]
Sometimes I get jealous because of all my children have now days to enhance the minds and learning of their children. The most educational toys my babies had were plastic pop beads, Fisher Price stack rings, colored building blocks, and the Tupperware Puzzle Ball. I used to play the piano for them as well as [...]

Spring has sprung in Southern Utah … and pollens are adrift. You’d think that something as beautiful as nature would be a little easier on us. It’s strange but I didn’t have any allergies before we moved to the desert and now I have them everywhere I go. Maybe it’s aging or maybe it’s just [...]
I had to delete this post because it messed up my management on the site when I put the comic strip in my blog. There is a way it can be done but I’ve wasted enough time on it. You can see my comics through this link. I’m trying out a different comic strip program [...]
Long before you saw production line campers sitting on the backs of trucks with their top lip resting on the roof of the cab, we took a family trip to Dead Horse Point, Utah, in Dad’s red flat bed truck and his home made camper. It was not much of a step above “roughing it” [...]
Like happiness? Here’s another great blog … “The Happiness Project“. It’s written by Gretchen Rubin who once worked for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor as a clerk. She left that to write and the book she’s currently working on is called “The Happiness Project” … thus the blog. She has done a lot of research on [...]
