Today was the day for my area to finally climb up in temperature to near normal, it was in the 50's with the sun peaking out every now and then. Normal temps here are 60 plus degrees for this time of the year. So, the heat was off...

Today our high was 52 F--that is right around 11C. More than half the snow is gone, and it was sunny and pleasant. I look forward to more of the same for about a week. We had church today, of course, and visited a bit afterwards....

They concern me. Right now, I am needed at home, of course, and I'm not planning on flying anywhere. However, several of my children sometimes from work fly for work, and of course friends do as well. I have heard from several...

Heather Echola We have not flown in a very long time. I think I would love a long train ride, though. Usually we figure that we had just as soon drive as fly by the time we drive to the closest airport, get there early to check in, etc. we could just about be anywhere we...

That isn't really shocking since is is an insanely unbalanced way of eating. I'm sure it would lead to increased cardiovascular issues and cholesterol issues as well. People who follow it eat just meat, eggs, and minimal amounts...

Heather Echola Unfortunately some people have cholesterol problems no matter what they eat. However, I would not be able to afford that type of diet and I seriously doubt that I would feel good. My big weakness is good bread. I have never had kidney stones or gall stones, so...

Have you ever tried these? They are really awesome especially with the creamy goat cheese. I only had crumbled so I had to add a bit of honey .so super tasty. Try them sometimes. I bet they would work well with cream cheese or any...

Heather Echola I still do not know enough about money, but I do know mistakes that were made in my family and how hard it has been to do something else. When my first husband was diagnosed with ALS the thing that saved our bacon was when he got his yearly raise we decided to...

I took it easy today, no house work, no cooking dinner or washing dishes. ( My boyfriend took me out for Chinese in Birmingham, yum!) The only thing I did was a load of laundry, because it's my work clothes, and they are still in...

Heather Echola Saturday was a little frustrating as Bob was glued to his chair, in his pajamas, when I wanted him to run to the hardware store for a little something. He did eventually do it. I worked on a few things. Mostly I goofed around online. Today, Sunday, was a take...

Heather Echola I have two PayPal accounts. One I no longer use at all. They are connected to two different e mails. The one I do not use is supposedly sending me documents to sign via "docusign" because of failed transactions. I need to just delete that one, but I feel like...

Heather Echola Not going to quite make it to forty, after all. The other side of the street is more melty than mine, and we still have snow all the way to the street on this side. Too bad, as I was wanting to drag my trash can to the road. I would enjoy the breakfast...
