Feeling Summer in the Winter

This past weekend we were lucky enough to welcome visitors to our new house here in South Dakota. It was fantastic to see Pete, Anne and the boys. There was lots of laughter & some adventure. One of the things we did was visit the Sertoma Butterfly House. It’s a very cool place to check [...]

This Old House

Well it’s official….we’ve found a new place to live. Over the last week/weekend we made plans to look at some potential houses for the big move. There were a lot of places that sounded like they’d be great. One was a nice double wide with some additions…it looked really nice. It was on 17 acres [...]

Seen Your Weiner or Why I Prefer Hooters

Lately life has been hectic & overwhelming to the point where I’m a hot mess. Recently I’ve been off work quite a bit (ok in the last 2 weeks I’ve worked a total of 5 days) and it has reinforced my need to be done at my current job. However I digress…this post is a [...]

October Round Up: Yippie Ki Yay

In this month’s rehash I’m mostly going to post pictures of random things & the visit with my brother TJ, his wife Jen & their boy little A (now I have the Jetsons theme song stuck in my head). October was a month of more struggles for me & Abe. We’ve made some major decisions [...]

Cave-ing

I’m feeling like a trip down memory lane again today & this is another one the that makes me laugh ’til I cry &/or snort. Whenever Abe really wants to make me laugh he will mention our one & only “real” vacation. Back when life was good & full of promise we decided to take [...]

Non-Addictive Cigarettes

I have to tell this story & I apologize to the other person involved–you know I love you girl but this is too funny not to share.

Lately with all the depression & think-y time I’ve had memories have been washing over me–some of them have been like a storm-tossed wave from the depths of Lake [...]

Art in Real Life

Okay so I am beyond exhausted today (started this on Thursday…it’s now Saturday & everything still applies) & don’t really know what to say. I wanted to get some writing done today but the fates were against me (like that’s news…those bitches are always against me) so I lieu of writing I’m going to post [...]

Beauty In My Backyard

Okay so I am a total shutterbug. I adore taking photos…it’s like writing for my eyes. It gives outlet to my creativity & allows me to slow down to appreciate nature and those I love. Here are some photos I took this past week at home…

My pink hibiscus–it makes me smile.

Saturday 9/26–a beautiful [...]

Back Out Into the World

I haven’t been up to doing much lately…mostly I can make it through a day at work & back home. It’s strange to feel this tired & even worse this weak. Slowly I’m doing my best to get back the strength that not feeling well has sucked out of me. To that end I decided [...]

What a Difference a Month Makes

A month ago I was thinking of what we needed to pack for our Art in the Park weekend in Alexandria, MN. We were looking forward to nice weather & hoping for some good sales by the end of the weekend. I also had a few other things rolling around my brain box. Specificly the [...]
