I wish upon a star……

Yeah, I new I wouldn’t get my wish. Came home for lunch and turned on the tv (mistake #1).  Truthfully, it’s generally for background noise while I’m home.  It was tuned to a news channel which was broadcasting a live speech from one of our presidential candidates.  I left it on that channel (mistake #2) Read More…

Resources…….

I’m not intending on sounding rude, racist, or mean in any way with this question, but I have a serious question to ask. We have hundreds and thousands of homeless and hungry people in this country already.  Many are US citizens that were born and raised here, and either by acts of service (former vets) Read More…

Heaven help us…

Alright, so here it is.  The primary season is now officially over.  We have our presumptive nominees for both major parties, and for some of the third party platforms as well. To recap, in case you’ve been living off grid for awhile (how are you reading this?), our presumptive Democratic nominee is Hillary Clinton, the Read More…

California dreamin…

It’s a little hard for me to say this without cringing, but I really hope Bernie Sanders wins all of California’s (and the remaining states) delegates tomorrow. Mind you, I’m an independent (with libertarian leanings) and a Constitutional conservative mentality.  Meaning a LOT of what Bern-me stands for and wants (99.999% of it) I disagree Read More…

Many of you may recognize the hashtag my wife created for adoption posts.  She uses it on Instagram and Facebook.  I’ve barely used it, as I haven’t post a lot about our adoption.  But that may change. If you are reading this and haven’t heard, we are adopting.  Shocker, I know.  It was a long Read More…

Well, let’s give this one a try

So my wife informed me the other day that she can’t read my blog posts on her phone.  When I looked, I realized that her iPhone wasn’t rendering the theme I use correctly.  So I’ve changed up my theme and hopefully you iPhone users can see it…if you don’t see the whole thing on FB.

Happy Mother’s Day…

So today is Mothers day.  I wish I could say that it’s a great day for me, but that would be a lie. For those that don’t know, my mom went home to be with our Heavenly Father back in ‘09.  I’ve missed her every single day since.  There’s so many things I’ve wanted to Read More…

The end of a trilogy?

And so I have finally finished the garbage can patio and the first phase of our landscaping updates.  Burned myself out a bit yesterday getting the next to last project done.  So here’s my area for the garbage cans.  Time to start digging up…and sweating like the dickens.  Sad part, with all the sweating, I Read More…

Landscaping photographic universe phase 2

So, after getting the front section cut out, we were able to get some edging and a few more bags of rock. Of course, we had to (and by we I mean ME) get that edging in along with some weed barrier.  That’s good edging, as it stake down edging.  No extra digging required. And Read More…
