Damn You Hallmark Christmas Movies

Let me start by saying this is not another “fell down the hole” with Hallmark Christmas movies. Oh no, this is about the bones I want to pick with these movies. I am a tried-and-true Christmas freak. I have three Christmas trees (one specifically for my Peanuts ornaments and one for Santas) and a tonContinue reading “Damn You Hallmark Christmas Movies”

Emily Bugg and Billy Lewis

Like so many couples in 2020, Emily and Billy were planning a big ceremony for their upcoming wedding. But the world fell apart this year and coronavirus restrictions made large gatherings impossible. They opted to have a simple ceremony at Chicago’s city hall canceling all of the plans they had already put into place. TheyContinue reading “Emily Bugg and Billy Lewis”

What Did I Expect From A Book Called Battleground?

After I finished Jim Butcher’s Peace Talks last week, I debated between reading the follow-up next or switching to the new Rick Riordan book. However, I’d been deprived of Harry Dresden for far too long and plowed on ahead with Battleground and I have not been disappointed.

In in August of 2019, they acquired 14,000 acres in northern Montana’s Great Plains towards that goal. The objective is to eventually purchase 5,000 square miles (3.2Continue reading “Land Conservation”

Problem One with Book Series – Endings

Reading Update: Last week I had just finished The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes then jumped right into Jim Butcher’s Peace Talks. 2014 was the last year this series had a novel, but we were treated with a collection of stories in 2018. Still, I hadn’t realized how much I had missed these characters! SoContinue reading “Problem One with Book Series – Endings”

Getting Past the UGH of Investing

This past month I have done something that is truly terrifying to me – learned (and still learning) to manage my retirement investments. DUN DUN DUH!!!!! Now to some of you this probably sounds silly, but I am not good with all the stuff (for lack of a better word) around investing. I always joke withContinue reading “Getting Past the UGH of Investing”
