Shot from our trip to the Grand Canyon

One good thing about Arizona – there’s all kinds of scenery. We were going through files (the old fashioned kind that reside in an honest to goodness file cabinet) and came across a piece of paper where we had written some goals. It was a bucket list before Bucket List. Lo and behond, one of our goals was to visit the Grand Canyon with our two sons. Well we did it! Funny how life works – and works out – sometimes, isn’t it. Although, I have to mention that when the boys realized that a “national park” and an “amusement park” are not the same thing, their enthusiasm did wane a bit.

I’m not even gonna look at how long it’s been since I posted on here. I hit a wall. A stopping point. A stoppage. Life changed dramatically and I’m wondering if the idea this blog was built around is even still applicable or desirable.

For any of you who may still be dropping by to see if maybe, maybe, some small crumb of an update has been dropped here – bless you. (I don’t think you really exist, but sometimes I still look for Santa too.)

The spousal unit and I have relocated from Texas to Arizona. Maybe temporarily, maybe permanently – who knows? Either way, I really lost the desire to do anything “homewise” for awhile, and even now that everything has settled down a bit I can’t find it in me to treat this house we’re in like a home. Although, now that I write that, it seems like a selfish sentiment. Many people go their whole lives without owning the houses they live in, and yet, I would venture to say they feel like they have homes. Maybe I will have to look into ways of making “non-owned” houses into homes. Any ideas?

I know that the most popular thing on this site was my rug and loom project so I will try to get some more information for that but it really is just one episode in an ongoing saga.

(Actually, if I can just share for a moment, writing here has made feel better than I have in days. What a cool thing.)

Ok, enough. I’m gonna go get busy on some posts.

CBS reports that a new study shows that people with low levels of vitamin D have a higher risk of dying.

In other news, freethnkr1965, sporadic updater of Creating a Home, reports that the highest risk factor for death from any cause is being alive.

“Let’s face it, 100% of the people alive today will die sometime in the next 120 years or so. Something must be done!”

It’s just smells really bad.

Sorry for the lack of posts, we have been inordinately busy lately. I promise to have steaming hot fresh posts by the end of the week.

I am all about these clothes!! I don’t know who designed for the 5th dimension but he or she should have a special place in heaven.

This was the #1 song the week I was born. It explains so much about my dancing style

Between work and school, I’ve not had time to do any weaving on my rug. It sits there like judgement. Agghh! But things are starting to settle down. Thank goodness.

My Pot Pie recipe turned up on two sites within hours of being posted. They look like auto-generated blogs that swipe theme specific posts. It kind of hacks me off that they don’t at least attribute authorship. On the other hand, they do link back to the original blog which helps in search engine rankings right? Ack, who knows.

So far, the only search engine hit I’ve received was for the search “pressure cooker chicken pot pie recipe.” Wow. If this was you, bless your heart. I thought I was the only one who did searches for that kind of stuff.

I am working on the warping post, it should be up in the next couple of days. I was thinking about doing a video to go with it.

Later gators.
