Nuts!
Amber, thank you for your recent gift. It’s one that I read half of the book the first night I received it and have not had time to pick it up since. lol. Nuts!: A 101st Airborne Division Machine Gunner at Bastogne was a suggestion from another long time member who reads quite a bit on WWII. It’s an easy read, which is sometimes not the case when a soldier pens his own book, but I prefer first hand accounts rather than an interpretation of research. That is not to say that I do not also appreciate a documentary account of such events, but I find it closer to the…

April of Chaos
April is going to be one of scheduled offline commitments which will affect my online time. It is not as much chaos, as it is family responsibilities. I will remind you guys plenty, but here is a look at what April is going to look like for us online. The Week of the 29th (upcoming week): Offline Monday and Tuesday, online Wednesday-Saturday. I will still be on VNALive Monday night. The Week of the 5th: Offline Wednesday-Sunday.

A Positive. . .
Another week is gone, and the weekend is ahead, and no matter how good Monday-Friday was, it’s always a welcome relief when it’s over. I think we’re programmed into living our days by that of the week’s, or at least, I am. I keep thinking that we spend our time wishing it away for the next days off, or the next planned event, but we really should slow down and appreciate each day for what it is. This week has been great. We spent Sunday-Wednesday in Salt Lake City filming new content and taking care of appointments that MtnMan had with the Huntsman Institute. While we were there, I also…

The Bonneville Lake
As we were driving over the salt flats on our way to SLC, I was curious and googled the history of the flats. I have to say, it’s quite interesting what mother nature can do over hundreds of years and centuries of time. I remember a blurp in school about the salt flats, but it was just that, a day or maybe even half an hour of discussing the great phenomenon known as the Salt Flats. You probably already know this, but I’m extremely fascinated by it and now I will share it with you, because that’s what I do. The Salt Flats used to be Lake Bonneville that engulfed…

How Was Your Weekend?
I normally ask this while on cam, but since I won’t be online until Thursday, I will ask you here. How was your weekend?

Long Overdue
There was a time when I was exceptionally good at blogging, and giving thanks to those that are thoughtful to send gifts. I am embarrassed to say that I have months worth of thanks to give and I’m just now making this post. Nicster- you have always been generous with gifts, and nothing has changed even after years of knowing each other. Thank you. I hope to wear the red garter lingerie in a video soon. The Turquoise tank top was a hard one to acquire and I’m still not sure what happened to the original one, but the 2nd one took a long detour around the world before arriving…

Fika
It is good to learn new words, and it’s especially good to slow down and appreciate the good in the world around you. This is something that I think we all need to do a little more of.

SW Chicken Recipe
I know, I know, I’m a homemaker now and always talking recipes, but this is too good not to share with you. SW Chicken Recipe: Add paprika, a pinch of pepper and a dash of salt. Rub liberally until the chicken is covered in the rub. Move your grill to the SW side of your house and grill for approximately 35 minutes, or until done. I was not expecting the relocation of the grill and that made me laugh out loud!

Abby and Her Amusing Love Of All Things Called Life.
Yesterday I tweeted a picture of Abby, and promised a blog post with the backstory of what makes her so precious. MtnMan has something in the spare room that Abby is constantly checking on, and that in itself, is amusing, but she always takes a buddy with her. That buddy is almost always Herbie, but Wednesday it was Skunky, and she must have needed a closer inspection because she dropped the Skunk, sniffed around and then high-tailed it out, not going back in there. So, she inadvertently left Skunk in the room overnight. It wasn’t until she was sitting in the doorway of my cam room that she saw him…
