There is 3 weeks until the first day of Fall. Are you excited? I am not that excited, I would have liked more summer, sure we have 3 weeks left. But with the whole pandemic and all, it is hard to really enjoy it as we have in the past. However, we do still do our BBQ, so we have that at least. Sometimes I think to myself and say "Thank God, I don't have children", not because I don't like children, no. Because I would hate to have them live in the world that way it is now. So much hate. Among all the other things that are going on around the country. I want to focus on happier things though. I started writing this blog post yesterday, than things came up and it had to go on the back burner as it has many times. Today is Friday the 4th of September, we are having nice weather, the sun is in out in the 80's. I fed Lilo early this Continue Reading
Check or No Check Is the Question!
The big question on many of our minds is 'Will there be another stimulus check?' I don't know, but with what I have been reading in the paper, and seeing on the news it sure looks like it may happen.

We can only hope and pray. I think now more than ever we need to manage our money better. Continue Reading
Is There No End To This Madness? It’s Time To Move On!
I have watched the news, read articles, had conversations, and I am tired of it already. I want things to begin to get back to normal. Granted it will never be 'normal' because of this pandemic, things have changed forever. People's lives have been altered, things are so uncertain right now, and probably in the foreseeable future. Honestly, that is not only scary but sad. In my last post I was talking about beaches being open that shouldn't have been open to stop the spread. A month later, they are reopened. As I mentioned I have read and watched the news. We are in lockdown all over the USA. Other countries are similar. I heard on the news that Sweden, has had the same death rate as we have in the USA and they did not lockdown, so why did we? Did it in fact make a difference. Statistically, we shouldn't have locked down according to Continue Reading
