    A Trip Down Website Memory Lane

    Creativity is limitless. Concepts can be combined with ideas, then combined with media, then combined with fantasy, then combined with digital, then….well, you get the idea. For fun and creative exercising, the Museum of Block Art was developed to showcase art made with WordPress Gutenberg Blocks. Speaking of WordPress, this year marks the 20th anniversary…

    First Flowers of 2023 Here at Home

    Along with daylight savings time, more sunshine, and warmer temperatures, the first flowers to bloom in our flower bed happened!

It’s time, y’all, for…

    Preparing for “The Time after Time”

    I’ve reached that age where I understand how short our lifetimes really are. Sure, I may live for another 20 years or so, but it’s just as likely I’ll shut my eyes for the last time within a year or two. Who knows? No one, of course, but I feel the end more keenly than…

    DIYing Is Empowering

    This weekend, I put on my imaginary superhero cape, and I DIY’d all the things. Okay, not all the things, but a few things, and a few things is a lot for me. Have you ever bought a brand new, very expensive minivan that the dealer modified to turn it into a wheelchair accessible van…
