Well everyone, I saw a new low in human behavior today, something that is hard to get over. Sitting behind a Suburban in traffic on Karcher Road, we were waiting to get through the light in front of the Edwards Cineplex in Nampa, the two men in the car in front of us decided to empty their ashtray on the street

Those of us old enough remember when littering was not the big deal it is today. Of course...read more

I have not written lately about my bio-identical hormone treatment, I was sure you all were tired of it. But I have to follow up for all those unfortunate women who are facing life the way I was. I have written often, but earlier, regarding the Healthy Habits Wellness Clinic in Meridian and Caldwell, who I felt saved my life, but this is another testimonial

It has been several months now since...read more

There was the strangest story I have ever heard on The View this morning. A perfectly normal couple, with perfectly normal children, had been put through hell because of their photographs. While I can't say I am a huge "View" fan, I do like to watch their "Hot Topics" when I am home from the jobsite, and yes, you read that right, they were put through Hell

It seems a couple...read more

During our vacation to the Oregon coast recently, we decided to spend a few days in Portland on our return. Portland is such a beautiful city and even though it is close, we just never seem to have a reason to make it a destination. We discovered soon enough this had been a mistake on our part

Hopefully you have read all my blog posts regarding the beach house in Lincoln City (if not, please scroll...read more

Well you have all been reading about our wonderful vacation, you would think we were not like normal people and never got away. Oh wait...we aren't like normal people and we NEVER get away! But the ten days we spent exploring western Oregon left me with a lot of stories, most of which you will hear eventually

I have told you about the great beach house where we stayed in Lincoln City, compliments...read more

My last post about our vacation talked about me knocking over a display in a store in the Pearl District of Portland. (See below.) What I didn't say was why I was carrying a big bag around downtown Portland

Ok ladies, we all know the scenario. My husband always says I don't need to carry my bag if I don't want to, yet when it comes down to it, who would carry everything if I didn't...read more

This is truly one of those times when I feel grateful to have this forum for my thoughts and feelings. I just finished reading today's Idaho Press-Tribune, the Monday, September 14th edition, with it's loved/hated cheers and jeers section. This section allows people to give gratitude, vent, and most of all, make fools of themselves, because their name will never be put in print

The particular...read more

Our recent stay in Portland of course included a visit to the famous Pearl District. Every major city in America has it's defining qualities, and Portland has it's "Districts". Each a distinct reflection of the area, they are used to separate neighborhoods from one another, even on the street signs. You always know which "district" you are in, and can better decide your...read more

Our recent vacation was a total of nine days, broken up into separate little jaunts. The first leg was a night in Dayton, Oregon. I know, a strange place to start your vacation, but it just so happens that is where my family lives who own the beach house in Lincoln City. That is how the entire vacation got started, wanting to visit with my cousin Phyllis and her husband Tom. When I called and told...read more

We have returned from our much needed vacation, but I have to share "the rest of the story". We left on a Friday morning, and on Wednesday night, in the middle of the night, I got up to use the bathroom, something that seems to happen more and more frequently as I age. Because I don't like to disturb my husband, I never turn the lights on. As I was making that well known and frequent...read more
