Struggling To Find Ourselves

Struggling To Find Ourselves
In More Ways Than One

Shopping

September 2nd, 2010

A Winter approaches, and we are trying to get things taken care of so that we are ready, we have been shopping here and there for the best price on several items.  We have been doing some actual go-to-the-store-and-window-shop, but we have also been using one of the most valuable resources in our society today…the internet….to shop on-line stores and also an online auction house or two.  Can’t say we are done “window shopping” for those items, either, but we are getting close!!

God Bless!!!

A Coolness In The Air

September 2nd, 2010

There are been a couple of mornings the last week or so when there has been a definite coolness in the air….a reminder that Fall is JUST around the corner, as well as Winter.  Needless to say, we have been working at getting things set up for Winter, including buying Winter clothing and such.  We still need to get a pair or two of  snow boots, and maybe a Winter coat for me, but other than that, we are pretty well set for Winter clothing.

Preparing for Winter can be a FULL time job sometimes when you live in the country and have animals and such.

God Bless!!!

NOT Something We Need!!

August 4th, 2010

We may have ALOT of things out here at this property that God has blessed us with, but I honestly CAN’T ever see us needing swimming pool supplies of any size, shape, color or description.  A swimming pool would be nice when it’s the middle of Summer, and humid and just plain miserable, but they are more trouble than what they are worth around here, in my opinion.  With the Kansas wind, and stuff in the water that makes it grow green stuff…oh, and did I mention the wind…I just don’t think it’s worth the hassle of having our own pool.  Not when we have a couple of lakes, a couple of rivers, and 3 or 4 public swimming pools within a 50 miles radius of our house.

God Bless!

Plans

July 31st, 2010

Well, we aren’t getting QUITE as many of our plans done this Summer as we had hoped, but we are still getting the major ones done.

I’m not sure about outdoor fireplaces, but we are planning to put something similiar in our basement, probably next Summer to help heat the house and water for showers and such.  It is kind of an elaborate system that we have planned, but it should make a HUGE difference in our heating bills in the Winter!  As well as how warm the house stays!

God Bless!!

Another One?

July 15th, 2010

If I felt a little more enthused, I would actually go to the trouble of looking up the word “phentermine” and do a good entry on it.  But, I am feeling a bit less than that enthused tonight, and have several of these entries that I need to do, so I guess it will just have to wait for another time.

LOTS of changes going on at house at the moment….some long-term changes that will be taking shape over the next several months….changes for the better, I think, in some ways….changes that will add some challenges, too.  More details as they come….

God Bless!

Why Is It….?

June 18th, 2010

….that, sometimes, doctor’s overlook what SHOULD be an obvious choice?  If you look at the trend in medicine today (or at least from what I have seen), I am sure that you will find that, sometimes, doctor’s get so caught up in prescribing medicines that they overlook other possibilities.  I know a couple of people that, just because they weren’t in the “average” population in certain ways, they KNEW that their doctor could have suggested some non-prescription ideas to try before prescribing medicines for them.  It’s amazing, in my mind, that, if you are thinner than the “average American”, sometimes doctor’s just ASSUME that you are exercising on a regular basis and/or eating a balanced diet or taking vitamins or whatever and they neglect to make those kinds of suggestions before they prescribe a medication.

Anyway, there’s my rant for today….God Bless!!

Busy, Busy

June 17th, 2010

It seems, these days, our days are FILLED to the brim with being outside.  Between taking care of animals, making improvements to our property a little at a time, mowing and weed-eating, atv riding for various reasons, and just basically enjoying the property that God has blessed us with, we don’t have much time to be inside, unless it’s raining or something like that.  Now, we are just waiting for some instructions and guidance, as to what the Lord wants us to do with this property next.

God Bless!

Haven’t Found…

June 2nd, 2010

I haven’t found any websites with prevera reviews yet.  I can’t say that I’ve really been looking for one, but some of those things that have reviews available on the internet just kind of make you run into them, no matter what you are searching for on-line.

It was cooler today….and there is a NICE breeze blowing from the North-West right now.  It’s supposed to rain later, I guess, according to what the weather website was saying a while ago.

God Bless!

I Need A…

May 31st, 2010

…couple of things, what with going through boxes and such.  One of the things that I have found that I need is a shipping box or two.  We are getting rid of a few things by selling them, by giving them away, or by trashing them.  I will have my work cut out for me the next couple of weeks, as I want to make BIG strides towards getting a BUNCH of boxes sorted through and out of the way.

There are a couple of things that I want to get accomplished in the next couple of weeks….only one of those is going through boxes in MASS quantities.

God Bless!!

Is It As Important….?

May 13th, 2010

….for a business as it is for us individuals to have a good credit report?  I hadn’t ever thought about it, but I imagine that it IS as important…or maybe even more so….for business owners to get a copy of their business credit reports.  It would be interesting, in my opinion, to see what is on a business’s credit report.  I mean, you HAVE to admit that you can learn ALOT about an individual by looking at their credit report.  Can you learn as much about a business?  I might just have to see about looking at one, one of these days….

Blessings!!
