  • Needing A Quiet Place for A Creative Space

    I’ve been setting aside time to write (and experiment with watercolor paints) and this week I found if I do either of them at home, I’m easily distracted. I’ll be trying to get the wording (or color) just right, and I’ll hear the beeping of the dryer, water running when there shouldn’t be, or encounter… Read more

  • Ever Just Want to Hang on To Your Money?

    Since I’m retired, my “payday” only arrives once a month, and since all my bills also come in once a month, my money comes in and then goes out, just as fast.
