I am far from a medical expert, and mental health is outside of my realm of expertise, but for regularContinue reading “Dealing with stress in the apocalypse and the every day.”

Over the last couple of years many remakes of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” could have, and have been made. There is so much negativity in our world everyday that it is easy to lose yourself in the media and global events, let alone local and personal events. Everyday there are new headlines like “MonkeypoxContinue reading “As Days Go By…”

I have been looking for a kayak for a while. We have a couple of inflatable kayaks which are great for transportation in an emergency and fun during camping.
