I normally don’t like grocery shopping. It’s a chore and it’s annoying and tiring. I have now found that I love going to Costco. For my international friends, Costco is a large warehouse club. Everything is sold in BIG quantities; you can’t just go in and buy a 1 ounce bag of M & M’s […]

My dear husband is a car guy. I’m not. My view of cars: * A means to get from Point A to Point B * As long as no loud noises are heard from the car, it’s good to go. I should also mention that I drive a ’97 Toyota Camry. In a year or […]

I had to go to the bank to deposit a check. I’m already annoyed because I hate going to the bank. Long lines, annoying music, video screens in my face, tellers trying to sell, sell, sell. You get the picture. All I want to do is get in and get out, no conversation. The teller […]

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is a time to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Why I love Sundays: 1. I love spending an hour in church. Seeing the sun come streaming in through the stained glass windows feeds my soul. Hearing the soaring notes of the organ […]
