If you know me and have read my posts before, you know I leave dishes in the sink sometimes. Actually, almost every night if I'm being honest. (Does it count as almost if it's only twice a year that I don't?) If the dishwasher and drainer are full, whatever is left in the sink can... Continue Reading →

Have you ever done something logical to avoid one problem, and ended creating another problem? Perhaps the second problem was more complicated than the original you were trying to avoid? Neither have I. *ahem* Yesterday was a low-key day. Church in the morning (love my church fam!) and then home for the rest of the... Continue Reading →

Did you ever spend time swimming as a kid? If you were anything like me, you didn't care what the temperature of the water was, you just wanted to get in it and stay in it. Well, except for the moments you jumped out to cannonball someone, of course. My own children loved swimming when... Continue Reading →

Yesterday I learned about 'The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders' in Japan. It is a place where all the waitstaff are people with some sort of cognitive impairment due to dementia. The man who created the concept was moved after spending time with dementia patients in a group home, and realized that they do so much... Continue Reading →

Have you ever done a job using a tool that pressed or rubbed against a part of your skin that isn't used to it, and developed a blister? and then that blister turns into a callus? Fun, innit? I swept our back patio and sidewalk recently. I hadn't used an actual broom in a while,... Continue Reading →

I admit that sometimes I mindlessly scroll through Facebook. On one such occasion I saw a video of a sheep that was being sheared. This sheep was pretty overgrown. (The pics of the massively overgrown sheep below are not the same sheep that is being sheared in the photos. I am gratuitously using them for... Continue Reading →

The other day on my way to work I saw a goose standing in ankle-deep water in a drainage ditch along the side of the road. Now, I don't know if geese actually have ankles, but I think you get what I'm saying. This particular morning was unseasonably warm, and I'm sure this goose was... Continue Reading →

There's a common phrase people like to use when things may have not worked out in life the way you want them to, or the way you expected them to; "Bloom where you're planted." And while that's a nice sentiment, it's really not always possible. We have some tulips in our front yard that were... Continue Reading →

Mirrors are interesting things. We often trust the image they reflect because it’s really their one job in life. But they’re not always accurate. Take for example, buildings made of mirrors. They reflect the environment around them, but it isn't totally accurate. The images they produce can be wavy, distorted, or reflect something that is... Continue Reading →
