Okay – another trip around the sun and I’m still happy after all these years. Apparently, May is the month I feel the need to share (journal) my continued adventure. We have acclimated nicely to San Antonio. Since my last post a year ago, I accepted a job at a rehabilitation hospital as a “cook.” The manager wanted a peer leader but that turned out to be very difficult. I LOVED the job!! I created…
Read moreSo I just read the article I posted exactly one year ago today. All I can say is “Oh, what a year it’s been.” What the heck happened? We no longer live in Florida because they sold the house from under us and we essentially gave up on the small town of Carrabelle and moved to San Antonio, TX. Wait… what? That’s right, for the second time in a year and a half, our landlord,…
Read moreHappy New Year 2024 Another trip around the sun and we’re still chugging along. ’23 was a year filled with new experiences and many challenges. If you’ve read past posts, you know that I took a job as a greens keeper only to be moved to the kitchen at the same “resort” because they fired or lost 4 cooks. I covered for those cooks for several months until the chef quit and I was promoted…
Read moreTo say the past 2.5 years have been a challenge would be the understatement of the century. Without getting too personal (or private), let’s just say that everything I have held dear has been challenged to its extreme. So be it. We made the decision to close our restaurant (dream) in January because it was barely sustainable and we were working our tails off for nothing. We made the decision consciously and professionally. Instead of…
Read morePalm Sunday Palm Sunday is a Christian holiday that falls on the Sunday before Easter. It commemorates Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where he was greeted by crowds waving palm branches and laying them on the ground before him as a sign of honor and respect. According to the Bible, this event took place on what is now known as the first Palm Sunday, which occurred just a few days before Jesus’ crucifixion. As…
Read moreUPDATE: I tried it again today (4/9/23) and I’m getting the same error, then I search the term again and I found an article. While I’m not a big fan of the Verge, they did talk to the guy in charge. AI image generator Midjourney has halted free trials of its service, blaming a sudden influx of new users. Midjourney CEO and founder David Holz announced the change on Tuesday, originally citing “extraordinary demand and…
Read moreThis air show is near and dear to my heart. I watched it from my home while growing up. I attended when I was an A-10A Crew-Chief in the 80s and as a Flying Crew-Chief on the C-9A in the 2000s. I even attended as a VIP in 2014 when my staff and I, from my local magazine, were invited. I have loved this show for years… but we missed it this year. YouTube video…
Read moreAs I have written before, I was accepted to the Amazon Vine Voice program 3 months ago and I have been receiving products for two of those three months. (The first order was placed on January 22, 2023.) Stats174 products ordered132 products reviewed Everything from plates to shirts, we have ordered a lot of products. Admittedly, we would never have purchased most of these products if it were not for the program and desire to…
Read moreI’ve been on the internet for a long time! The US Air Force sent me to HTML school back in 1995 so you could say I’ve been here a while. I find it irritating and almost insulting that every website I visit requires me to accept some kind of cookie policy. Of course, I accept YOUR cookie policy, because I allow my browser to accept cookies! FOR EVERYONE! I’m tempted to click “no” I don’t…
