“On the Subject of Retirement”By Robert Curtis I have been with the Utah Transit Authority as a bus operator now for over three decades. How the time has flown! I have seen many come and many go over the years. But I have just begun to notice, in recent months, how many are retiring that […]
Happy Thanksgiving!

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I think I am! I’ve spent all day baking, chopping, mixing, tasting and rolling! My back is killing me and my feet are on fire but it will all be worth it when we sit down together with loved ones tomorrow and enjoy the feast! Pie made it home from […]
Follow Your Passion – Guest Post by Nancy A. Kaiser
November 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I came out of the womb with an innate love for animals – all animals. As a small child vacationing in Florida, my folks took me to a dolphin show. We went each night. The owner felt sorry for my folks and stopped charging admittance. It is apparent to me that my passion was firmly […]
This is the Blah – Randomness!

Do you ever feel that way? Sometimes I would like to shout such a phrase as this just to see what would happen. This is the BLAH I say!! lol. Someone sent this pic to me the other day and I kept it. It sums those Blah days up and makes me laugh. I am […]

November 13, 2009 By 5 Comments
They predicted a “paperless society” for the Internet age. Like space colonies and household droids (both once expected to be commonplace by 2009), it’s been slow to happen. I’m in no hurry for it. Nothing personal against the electronic world; to read the daily news, I’ll gladly go online rather than juggle floppy, smudgy newspaper […]

If you give a boy a spoon….
November 8, 2009 By 6 Comments
My boy makes me laugh… a lot. Today I made a quick supper because we were outside for awhile enjoying what’s left of nice weather before the winter sets in. I basically cooked some ground beef with a diced potato and onion, dumped in 2 cans of Campbell’s Minestrone Soup, 2 soup cans of water, […]
Neat design tool
November 8, 2009 By 2 Comments
I’ve become a bit obsessed by a nifty little tool I found today. Lately I’ve been thinking about redoing my blog design because it’s kind of blah looking to me. Boring, dingy, old. I stare it for several hours everyday and I need a change! Nope, I am no designer, but I do like to […]
Unexpected Joys – Guest Post by Carrie Howe
November 6, 2009 By 4 Comments
If you had asked me three years ago if I saw myself loving and serving teenagers, I would have laughed you out of my house. However, my oldest son became a teenager and I wanted to know where he was, what he was doing and who he was hanging around. So, in the words of […]
