Life Is A Highway…

I thought I was driving down life’s highway in a vintage convertible with the sun shining down on me, a breeze blowing through my hair, smiling and waving at other travelers. I was feeling rather carefree, actually. I had no idea what lay, up ahead….
Sometimes my GPS reroutes me.  I find myself on an unfamiliar [...]

Government Isn’t Following Through

Cash for Clunkers has turned into a real rip off. The car dealers that went along with this program are sadly now finding out that the payments that were supposed to be coming from the government are not coming. Time is ticking for these car dealerships that were already cash strapped to begin with. They [...]

Not Being Politically Correct

I read an article the other day about school textbooks. (Being a former public school teacher, anything about education catches my eye)
Did you know that the powers -that -be, that are writing the new (an improved!) textbooks are cracking down on any words that could possibly be offensive to ANYONE? This is another one of [...]

Town Hall

I’m really fed up. I watch these town hall meetings and then afterwards I hear the media spin on them.  When did things change? Since when are we, as Americans, not allowed to voice our opinion? When did things change? When did the government officials decide that the people’s opinion no longer mattered? When “Mr. [...]

Memory Lane

I continue to slog through box after box of stuff. Unpacking is hard work. I guess it doesn’t help me any that I have to stop every so often to look at my boxes of “memories”. I looked back at my high school memory box. What a hoot! I found my Westminster High School, Class [...]

The Holocaust IS NOT a “myth”!

My mother-in-law sent this to me through email. I cried as I read this story. I’m passing this story on because I believe it is important. I believe we need to NEVER forget what happened. NEVER let the memory fade. Remind ourselves that evil exists in this world and we must not let it overcome [...]

United Socialist America?

What is going on with our country?
Our government officials think that we should allow them to be over a health care plan?! This coming from people who have screwed up Social Security (I’ll never see all the money I put into that!), Medicare/Medicade, bail outs and the Stimulus Package (what a joke)  and any other [...]

It’s All In A Day’s Work

More unpacking today.
I have a huge pile of boxes in the dining room. I need to break them all down. Right now they are looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. They are very precariously perched on top of each other. Kind of like a real life version of Jenga.
Our cat, Samson, likes boxes. He [...]

Clothes and shoes and purses, Oh MY!

I have spent the past two days working in my closet.  Unpacking is not as easy as I thought it would be. I’m happy to be unpacking….but how did I end up with all of this stuff? It’s insane. I think I have enough pairs of underwear to circle the Earth at least once. T-shirts [...]
