Another adventure has taken form this week.  Husband has started his fire fighting career.  This time the adventure is one that I watch from the sidelines and root on the hero instead being one myself.  It’s a new experience.  With the adventure comes new blessings, sacrifices and challenges!  It should be interesting. 

I have been at this job for over a year.  I like a challenge, but the current challenge is how to appear busy 6 hours a day.  My dream job-teaching English came across the screen, I sent an application, they have not called.  I wonder if it is the right time but man I am [...]

The younger years marked by family [...]

Sorry for the downtime while we were doing scheduled maintenance.  Everything seems to be working properly now.  Your comments may go into moderation the first time you comment so don’t worry if you don’t see it right away.

The adventure blog was down as of late and in the process of update and reboot ALL comments were re-loaded-this means I had over 8,500 comments awaiting my moderation. I am supposed to choose which is a good comment and which is spam.
Moderating them can take a LONG time. Last night I sat down [...]

I am a pin cushion.

It is not the needle that hurts, it’s the medicine itself. Similar to 3 hornet stings at one time is the best I can describe it. The routine-hot compress for 5 min-to prep the skin, load the needle into the injector, sterilize the site, take of the alcohol, and pop the trigger [...]
