Parents Need a Will
There was a HUGE dust storm yesterday. It caused a 26 vehicle crash on I-80 right outside of town. No visibility whatsoever! There was also a wildfire on the mountain range to the east of our valley. It was started by a dry lightning storm the night before. The road was closed and we couldn’t […]
Sights of Summer
Summer. The word used to mean swimming at the neighbor’s pool, chasing fireflies, red Georgia mud squishing between my toes. Now I associate summer with swimming in the redneck pool, crazy farm work hours, and in the early summer stories of fawns and baby antelope being accidentally mown up. Ganache was telling the fawn hello. […]
21 Principles by Richard G. Scott
Way back in 1991 {whoa has it really been 23 years?} I spoke at my 8th grade graduation ceremony. I remember my English teacher, Mrs. Humble, making me practice my speech in front of her. “Speak more slowly, Montse dear. It’s hard for Southerners to understand your Yankee accent.” I expected some pretty harsh critique […]
Indoor Activities for Blistering Hot or Rainy Summer Days
We don’t have very many rainy days here in Nevada. In fact, on the days it does rain my kids are headed outside to enjoy the rare treat! Instead we can get some blistering hot days where even the shade is too hot to enjoy so we stay indoors. In compiling this list I tried […]

How Do You Organize Your Photos?
My current project – creating photo books to be printed. It is a HUGE project! Because of my digital camera I have taken more pictures than ever. Unfortunately, I have very little pictures actually printed. Thus my goal to at least get a few photo books. I was able to get a couple of good […]
Going Home
Friday morning I took pictures of the scenery as I came home from town. It had rained the day before so the desert plants were coming to life. It’s amazing how just a little rain makes a big difference out here in the desert. It may not look like much but to those of us […]
