135. Burn Burgers, Not Books
Thursday March 4 2021 Let's face it. I'm a small town midwestern girl with absolutely no dreams about moving to the big city. I like a simple life, comfortable shoes, and friendly dogs.

131. Battling a Milestone
Monday February 22 2021 Remember when we were heard the news that we reached the milestone of 100,000 deaths in the U.S. due to COVID-19? When was this? Can you take a guess? I was thinking early summer 2020. That was a little late on the mark. The New York Times recognized this macabre event … Continue reading 131. Battling a Milestone
130. Sandy McQuickSand
Friday February 5 2021 "Growing up I always thought that quicksand was going to be a much bigger problem than it turned out to be." Pretty accurate, that, thanks to the TV shows that showed the struggle of battling those shifty grains. "Don't struggle," we learned.

Thursday January 21 2021 A beautiful and majestic Presidential Inauguration yesterday, no matter how your political views fall. The color commentaries today are all about the symbolic rainbow of women's coats, the pitch-perfect performance of the National Anthem by Lady Gaga, an unrecognizable, blue-jeaned Garth Brooks (where's your had, dude?) singing Amazing Grace, and the … Continue reading 127.

109. Yeah, no, Twitter
Friday November 6 2020 The President of the United States is golfing today; his 209th golf outing since he’s taken office nearly four years ago. This isn’t really remarkable on its own.

107. Ballot Box Hangover
Wednesday November 4 2020 This morning President Trump claims that he’s already won the election against Biden. A premature announcement at best and, at worst, a false statement.
