Must say, the movie, Eat, Pray, Love with Julia Roberts is spectacular! Seeing this today and with all that is going on in my life right now, I was able to connect with so much of it. Would not want…

Thunder Storms Are Loud
Today, Rose made it through another thunder storm…she always does but she freaks out with the loudness of the thunder and then as the heavy rain starts slapping everything outside she doesn’t calm down soon enough. I am happy to have been there for her and to hold her as she was shaking uncontrollably and forgetting to breathe out. Wrapped her in a blanket as I sat on the floor, she...

Utah Government DIslikes Childless Women
Here is the cold facts: if a woman does not have any children, she cannot receive financial assistance while she is actively searching for employment. She can, maybe, receive food stamps, but those do not pay the bills, only makes my stomach full while I am living in a cardboard box next to the city building in Salt Lake.
Not only am I punched in the face each year when tax season comes because...

Rose, Sweet Rose
Turning the key to unlock the front door, it squeaks as I push it open and let myself in; Rose and Foofur do not greet me so I start yelling, “Hello!” but no one comes running so I call out again, “Hello?”. I begin to hear a thump, thump, thump; did Rose lock herself in the laundry room and that is her tail hitting the washer or dryer? I listen a couple more...

Red Butte Gardens Concerts
This summer, much of my time will be spent at Red Butte Gardens for many of the artists lined up to perform. Tonight, Kenny Wayne Shepherd performed, that is until they ended early due to lighting storms coming across the valley - such beauty to watch.
Rose of course was my model for the evening as you can tell she is in many of the photos; it was her first time up there, she did very well...

A Cup Full of Food
Remember a few months back when Rose then Jack became extremely ill, taking them over a week each to recover to whatever it was they had? We thought it may be the dog food we bought, yet the vet assured us it couldn’t be. Well, that bag of food we set aside anyway and thought if the vet was certain it was not harmful then we would donate it to NMHPU, because the price was so good, we...

Plastic, oh plastic, why must you be so?
Have you ever wondered how much plastic you go through in one month? In one week? How about in one day? Ever since I have been recycling, the plastic keeps piling. Is there a way to rid one’s home of plastic? I am coming to the conclusion that one cannot.
Our plastic recycling is much larger than our paper, cardboard, foil and such; I would guess by about half! Imagaine that, trying...

I get two?
On Saturday I attend my friend’s baby shower; they are expecting their first! We, the attendants, were asked to bring a package of diapers to be entered into a drawing for a prize; most of us did just that in exchange for a raffle ticket.
When the raffle tickets were being handed out, one of the hostesses said, “these tickets are sticking together, please check you...
