Today is a day to arise & spontaneously sing. Join me? Oh what a beautiful Morning! Oh what a beautiful day. I've got a wonderful feeling everything is going my way!
About three years ago, my awesome big brother encouraged me to start listening to podcasts. The first one I binged on was Night Vale and slowly built my podcast library to include more than 200. My listening tastes lean heavily towards comedy and true crime. I have also discovered that I don't really like the podcasts that utilize the conversational style. I prefer narration or story telling style. Like Mike Rowe . Ah....Mike Rowe. His voice is so, delicious and dreamy. I have intentionally fallen asleep listening to him telling me a story. The whole sleeping thing is for another time. I have no idea how I stumbled upon Small Town Murder . I gotta say...Small Town Murder...is flippin' awesome. The two hosts Jimmie Whisman and James Pietragallo are comedians. They are soooo not politically correct. Jimmie and James have no problem poking fun at the criminals, small towns, police and more. After the first couple ...
Ahhhh...what does GF and DF mean? Well, GF is short for Gluten Free and DF is Dairy Free. Well, Alaska Girl, what does that mean? "A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes foods containing gluten . Gluten is a protein complex found in wheat (including kamut and spelt ),barley, rye and triticale.

Less obvious however, are the myriad of products that contain gluten as a hidden ingredient." So. Gluten-free basically means cutting spec...
One of my favorite seasons has begun. Spring is always a reminder that from the deep darkness of winter comes life. Underneath the dry dead grass, are roots waiting to spring forth (see what I did there?!?! Spring!!!) and grow tall in the sunshine and rain. In the garden beds that look like boxes of dirt and dry leaves are bulbs awakening. After a long season of white, gray, brown, coldness, wetness and bulky clothes...I know why The Creator made so many colors for the rest of the year. Today, the sun rose at about 4:30 am, and as I sit here at 8 pm, there is still daylight out. According to timeanddate.com the sun will set at 11:30. Plenty of time to go for a run, play in the garden or just lay on the hammock. As long as you don't mind the bugs. Yeah.....bug dope is wonderful. The house we moved in to has had a lack of outside care for the last fiveish years. Part of our deal is to perform yard work and some house r...
