Kulami Game Review
Kulami is more of a challenge than checkers but not as complicated as chess, which hits a sweet spot for us. It only takes about 20 minutes to play...

Vintage Christmas Radio Shows
My family is headed out on a cross-country road trip for Christmas... As we drive we love to listen to old-time radio shows. Here are some of my Christmas favorites available for free download:

An Uplifting Project
Ever since he was a teenager Lyle has been a “shade tree mechanic” on the side, performing maintenance on our cars and doing occasional repairs for friends and family. Now that he has adult daughters and nieces with their own cars he has been spending even more time in the garage. (Not really under a shade tree.) His brother Loren…

From our family to yours…

Happy Fall, Y’all!
I’m not ready for it to be fall. But then, I never am. Fortunately, around here we are eased into the season with glorious bright blue days and crisp nights.

5 Happy Things
Firstly. I just noticed today the Tree across the street from the print shop is putting on her new spring dress. I was very happy to see it. I think I’ll try to remember to do a photo series throughout the next few weeks like I did last fall. Secondly. I won the door prize drawing at the Rathdrum Area Chamber of…

My Kitchen Remodel
At the beginning of winter I set a goal to reorganize my kitchen. I also wanted to clean out the pantry shelves in the utility room and decide what should actually be in the kitchen. Before I got around to working on that project my brother-in-law (who owns the apartment where we live) decided to install new cabinets. I didn’t…

On Love and Romance
It’s time for this month’s Q&A prompts from The Blended Blog. Naturally, the questions have to do with love and romance this month. Kisses or hugs? I adore both from my husband. Hugs from my kids and a very short list of close friends and family. Other than that, I’m not a hugger… and for sure, not a kisser! Candy…
