Alternate title: How David Was Able To Get Us Financially Secure Since March 15th our lives have been turned upside down. The resort I worked at was closed, and for the following few weeks, I was one of the few employees to still be working in the building. In the beginning of April, we were … Continue reading How We’re Managing During the Pandemic
Chicken Tortilla Soup In The Crock Pot
It’s been 80+ degrees here almost every day for the past couple of weeks. When the heat is on, what a great time to make… …hot soup! But seriously, is there ever a bad time for soup?

Well, Now What Do I Do?
For the first time since 2014, I find myself without a job. The circumstances at work lent itself to my leaving a company that I truly loved; it just wasn’t working out for me and my family.

A Great Soul
When Great Trees Fall Maya Angelou When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. … Continue reading A Great Soul
Days of Baking
I think it’s no surprise that if you find me in my house for long periods of time, I’ll definitely be searching my pantry to see what I can bake with. It kind of feels like Iron Chef where I have to find the main ingredient and then work around that. Some of the main … Continue reading Days of Baking
