Updated 5/17/2025 The power has gone out! Now what? The power going out can be scary and discomforting, especially if you have kids. You need to have some ways to light up whatever you are doing. You need to provide some light to comfort you and make the time go by faster. Some lights have better uses than others. Some will be just for lighting up the room enough to walk around in, while others will help you see what…
Happy Sunday Everyone!I didn’t promise consistency in this post being weekly and I am sticking to it. We have been busy just trying to get as much done as humanly possible outside on the weekends.

However, I still am not sure what to tell my loved ones what I want. Then there is also the small problem of me telling them some of the things I want, but they won’t buy them anyway!

I’m tired of the elections, the politics (and I love politics), the saying something and meaning nothing of this current batch of candidates. They sure can promise a lot of things that may or may not happen. They can throw a lot of smoke to cover up their past deeds and mistakes.
