Concert- Spaulding Marine Center- Sausalito, CA

My son, fogs, and I were at the Spaulding Marine Center in Sausalito, CA for a musical celebration of Myron Spaulding.  The event was child, fog, and adult friendly with adult refreshments.  It was definitely old bungalow friendly with the beautiful music playing and the gorgeous old wooden boats!

Refinancing a mortgage- my story

I am refinancing a mortgage.  For me, it is like learning A foreign language.  I am going to write about a few things I have learned about the different mortgage companies.  I became very sick during the process,  though trying to show a confident face to the world.  While talking to mortgage companies I began to feel like a failure, freak, loser, shall I go on.  It is one of the most depressing things.  I want to help people by sharing about a few of the things I learned.  This will continue, I will write in a few days.

Home supplies- Lodge chainmail scrubbing pad

I have loved the Lodge cast iron pans for years!  I discovered the chainmail scrubbing pad recentlyand it makes it so much easier to clean the cast iron pans.  The lodge pans are also great for cooking outside!
