About Me

One of God's sheep who has moved to different pastures. Sometimes they seem greener and other times not so green. But my Shepherd is always there for me.

Preparing for a bad day

Just got back from the grocery store. I saw the price tag on eggs, 2.29 a dozen. I got online to check out powdered eggs. I found this site it was interesting reading. The Bible says we should not worry about the future but that we should also be prepared.

Anyone know where I can get dried eggs. I know the government has some because they bought up eggs from the farmer so we could pay more for the eggs. I can't find anywhere where they will sell me any.

I really am thinking of getting two chickens. I got the space.

It's Official


I am here to tell you that it's official. Fall is here. I pulled out all my winter clothes. I found some lost boxes. I have put all my summer and spring clothes away. Well except for a few things, just in case. Fall doesn't really come until the fall and winter clothes are out. Now in a few days it will be 90 degrees outside. It always happens that way. Oh well I am ready I kept my swimsuit out and a pair of shorts.

Fast Easy Cookies

I was craving something sweet today but I didn't want to put the work into making it. I found a really easy recipe for cookies.


  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix together cake mix, eggs and oil in a large bowl.
  2. Make little balls with the dough and set on ungreased cookie sheets.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 4 - 10 minutes
These turned out pretty well fast and easssssy. I added a teaspoon of vanilla and a bit of lemon juice and a pinch of cinnamon. I had some butterscotch chips on hand so I threw them in.
You can use any flavor cake mix and add whatever to it.

Whats This


In my never ending search for bathrooms I came upon this one. I can understand what the top one is for. But can anyone give me an explanation for this one? Both are in the same ladies bathroom at a state park.


New colors for me

Since the trees are changing colors and the weather is getting cooler I thought it would be wise to get out my fall and winter clothes. I only had one box that I was able to locate. I must have thought I would be rich when we moved here and I would get to buy a whole new wardrobe so I didn't pack my winter clothes from Illinois. They may still be in a box somewhere.

Ohio has great thrift stores, I just found out. No need for new clothes. I had a skirt that Becca made me buy last year. It was only 6 dollars and had been 60. The only problem was I couldn't find a top to match.The same was true for the brown skirt that still has the price tag on it. I like the tag on it cause it says 49.00. I would never pay that much for a skirt. One trip to the Ohio Thrift store and I was able to get a start on my fall wardrobe.

Both skirts now have a top.

I added three more tops. The cost for all this 16.00 Not bad for Newyork and co. Christopher Banks,Caroline Taylor, K which is the red sweater with vest 85% silk and Karen Scott.
