Just dropping in for a moment to say hi from Tualatin, OR. Grandma doesn’t have wireless internet, and I feel bad hogging her computer. Today the Pacific Northwest was hit with a doozy of a winter storm. There’s currently about 5 inches on the ground here. Church was cancelled at the end of sacrament meeting […]
Earlier this month, I posted about my intended gypsy lifestyle for the remainder of the month. I will be leaving Detroit today, and will not return until December 28/29, depending on flight loads. Above is a picture of (a new version of my) trusty silver suitcase. It has traveled with me for over 40,000 flight […]
It makes such a difference when you work with great people, even if only a few. My first day of work, I was strolling by Kay’s desk. She was perusing Zappos, and I sauntered in her cubicle and we began discussing our shoe preferences. (She’s a Merrell lady, while I prefer Keens). Then later in […]
On Sunday, I attended my last week in the Plymouth Ward. I have been serving in the primary and nursery for my tenure in the ward, but really wanted to attend Relief Society for my last week. I’m so glad I did. There was a combined lesson/program on finding JOY in the season through serving […]

However, at this moment I’m requesting another type of bailout in the Detroit region. Help my struggling family for the next month. I just paid my bills- car […]
True love is being willing to wake up at 4:20 am to drive your husband to the airport in 16 degree windy weather with a smile on your face. And true love is having a hubby willing to come home on his “relaxing” weekend off to fix your computer when it crashes from the Facebook […]
On Thursday night, I was Facebooking to my heart’s content, and got a message to from my visiting teacher to view a video of her cute kids. I clicked on the link. I’d been updating other media players that night, so when the pop-up for Flash player update came on, I clicked it without thinking. […]
Lately, my addiction and craving has been for all things pomegranate. I’ve loved the fruit for years, but really got hooked on it in California. I have been happy that so many companies are hopping on the Pom bandwagon, and introducing delicious pom products. I love the Crystal Light Immunity cherry pomegranate single-serving mix-ins. I […]
