So I’m watching TV the other day and this commercial comes on demonstrating a home steam cleaner. I started thinking about the words steam cleaner. I realize it’s describing a machine that cleans using steam. For some reason though I think of it as something that cleans steam. Now why would one want to do that? Steam is already clean. (Yes, it’s crazy I know! Blame it on the heat.)

Potluck Fun & Guessing Game
May 31, 2008 by Karen of Scottsdale
Last night we went to a potluck dinner hosted by some friends at church. I think we had about 12 people there and the food was very tasty. In case you’re interested we brought a green salad with baby heirloom tomatoes. (more…)

Getting Wet
May 25, 2008 by Karen of Scottsdale
Using a wheelchair full time makes life interesting in trying to figure out how you’re going to do things that most people take for granted. Taking a daily shower is not easy for someone who cannot stand up. Several years ago we put in a roll in shower into our bathroom. It’s nice to be able to take showers! Yesterday I was looking at things online and discovered there are walk in bathtubs. What will they think of next?

Midlife Crisis
May 23, 2008 by Karen of Scottsdale
A couple of weeks ago I told you I was getting glasses because my vision has succumbed to the over 40 stage of life. After several trials with a progressive lens pair and then trifocals I am now sporting a pair of bifocal glasses. As promised, here’s a photograph of me wearing my lenses for you to laugh at. (more…)

Don’t worry, it’s not me! (LOL) A friend at church is pregnant and she’s beginning to show her baby bump. She’s petite and slender so it definitely shows up on her and it looks so cute! (more…)

Hot Time in Scottsdale
May 21, 2008 by Karen of Scottsdale
For the past several days we have experienced record-breaking triple digit heat with temperatures reaching as high 113° Fahrenheit here in the Valley of the Sun. This of course was a perfect time for our home air-conditioning unit to stop producing cool air. We realized Sunday afternoon that something was wrong when the indoor temperature would not go below 85°. (more…)

Marriage Exercises
May 18, 2008 by Karen of Scottsdale
Having been married to the same man for the past nine years I can honestly tell you that having a good marriage is hard work and requires much sacrifice for both husband and wife. If you’re married you know what I’m talking about! There are days when you’re so glad that you married this person and then there are days when you wonder what you were thinking when you made the decision. Sometimes you can have those feelings all in the same day.
There’s a lot of give-and-take in a marriage in order for it to be successful. My husband, whom I love dearly, loves to go on and on about high definition video and whenever we go to a store where they have TVs and or video equipment, we always take a look at what’s there because that’s what he likes. So I have learned to act interested when he starts talking about HDTV and the need for HDMI and digital converters and a whole plethora of stuff. I smile and remind myself that this is the man who thinks I’m perfect! Works every time.
And just for fun I’m going to share with you a scene from one of my favorite classic movies, The Best Years of Our Lives, made in 1946. Even then they knew what it took to make a marriage work.
