I'm headed to Centralia, about an hour away, to ride with my oldest daughter and son-in-law to Mt Rainier and visit before they go back to Oregon tomorrow. We've been there before, but it's been pouring so we'll see how far they...

I know this is a strange topic, but there are people I am not close to, who continuously will say "I love you", or one person will say, "you know I love you, so..." and it is very uncomfortable. I'd like to get your take on...

I’ve been collecting little treasures from thrift stores lately and I’m really enjoying my small cart corner beside my bed. I use it instead of an end table, with a small three-drawer apothecary table on the other side.
I’ve...

This time last month I was an absolute stress mess - mold, humidity, cold, house issues, and trying to survive in the wetlands in travel trailers. It felt like everything was damp, heavy, and overwhelming.
We’ve been in the new...

I moved into the house the day before Valentines day and it's been a constant go. I am in so much pain I can't sleep at night and of course, my day function is waning.
Lately, I've had quite a bit of brain fog and will scratch...

We’ve been moving things from storage and our trailers into the house, hoping this would finally be the week we could settle in and actually live there. We were waiting on the regulator to slow the water down.
Today, though,...

Long ago, I was a collector, not a hoarder, but someone who enjoyed having several of things I loved.
At one point, I collected owl figurines after raising two real owls before Fish & Wildlife stepped in. I collected teapots too,...

My ex-daughter-in-law recently returned from a trip to Portugal and Spain, and she came home bearing gifts. Unfortunately, one of her suitcases was confiscated because she forgot to declare the items inside, an expensive lesson...

The last four days have been a whirlwind of activity at the house with carpet going in, paint, trim, and the stairs all being worked on. There’s still a bit left to do, and then they can level the outside and get the rest of the...

It's true when they say complete strangers will support you more than family. Grief and hard events will change you and will soon learn who belongs in your life and who to remove. But, why is that? Shouldn't family be there for...

After what feels like forever, today brought a huge milestone for us. Early this morning, PUD was out digging trenches along the small road below our mountain to install the transformer, then made their way up here to set the...

Paranormal ghost apps claim they can detect spirits using your phone, showing radar screens, ghost images, or messages from “ghosts.” While they may look convincing, there is no scientific evidence that these apps actually work....

They came today with machines and made a lot of progress. The electrical pipe is now run up from the road, so next week, the electric company's engineer can put in the transformers and run electric up to the house. Trenches were...

The last few years had and still has its ups and downs, and I learned a lot, cried a lot, and not feeling 2026 is my year. I've said that for several years, and lost hope expecting things will magically get better.
I'm ready to...

I may have written about this before, but I honestly don’t remember, so I apologize if this sounds redundant.

Sometimes, I can put together a smoothie and it's tasty, satisfies and fills me up. Sometimes.....today, was not that day.
