I spent all day outside. As a roofer I am in all sorts of weather conditions. It’s exhausting work. I’m up at the crack of dawn and sometimes not back home till the sun sets. I work a lot during the summer and less during the winters so I usually take winters off and relax […]

I’m really thinking hard on this one I love scenario based questions. My daughter brought me this question because we love to laugh and think of things. What would I want if I was trapped on an island for the rest of my life? I get 5 things to choose from. If a shipwrecked on […]

We had been very busy with Thanksgiving and working that we completely forgot to schedule an appointment with the HVAC professional to do the heater maintenance. If they had done the tune-up, they would have realized the system had significant faults and advised us to replace it because it broke down a week after the […]

I am very particular about the type of hair salon and professional I use, and finding a salon with the right professional is challenging. I stuck with it when I saw a salon I liked, and it is near my house. As much as it is near my home, the walk to the salon is […]

I probably look pretty weird carrying a gigantic fan around with me. The reason is because it is in the middle of summer, and my air conditioning unit died last night.

One of my earliest memories from early childhood was helping my mother in our vegetable garden in the backyard. I planted zucchini seeds and watched with bewildered amazement as they began to sprout two weeks later. We eventually widened the garden and added watermelons, pumpkins, and a flower patch. I loved learning all about agriculture […]

When I was a kid, we had vastly different technology than what’s used by most people today. Our phones alone were worlds apart from what is common right now, as most of the people I know have gravitated to smartphones without landlines at home. Back in my early childhood, we had a single landline and […]

When it became unbelievably expensive to travel both locally and around the country, I decided that I wouldn’t spend the money unless the trip made it worth the expense. That means comfortable travel, luxurious accommodations, and ultimate relaxation. If it means roughing it in a tent on land in a state park, there’s no sense […]

My doctor diagnosed me with asthma after I had a reaction during cleaning the attic one afternoon. He went through my history after listening to my lungs and decided that asthma would account for all of the symptoms I had been experiencing on and off over the years. Originally he told me to use this […]
