Stay at home

Cooking I saw a report somewhere that more people are gaining weight as they stay at home and cook more. Add me to the list! I started baking homemade bread and finding new recipes to try. Some turn out really well and others need help. Yesterday\’s cookies which were supposed to be the \”Best Ever […]

Wild Ones Mahjong

Another Mahjong game The latest Mahjong addition is called Wild Ones. It includes \”cute\” cartoon birds and animals around the world. You now have three tile options, Ocean, Wild Ones and Flowers. It would be very cool if I could put my games up as an app so they would play better on mobile devices […]

Game Changing

Waffle game changed to Word Maker I\’ve reworked the \”Waffle\” game and changed the graphics from ugly brown (my opinion) to softer shades of pinks and purples. I like it better. Plays the same of course but now its just more feminine. Changed the name as well – it\’s now called Word Maker. I\’m not […]

Potato Container Planting

Little gardening goes a long way This year I wanted to plant potatoes and we decided for our needs doing it in big pots would be easy and probably provide enough for two at least for a while. We bought a box of seed potatoes for under $3 at Winco on our last shopping trip […]

It\’s that \”kind\” of a day

Kindness makes a marriage I read a nice chapter today in a book of collected writings about kindness that a study was done on what makes a lasting marriage and the underpinning element was \”Kindness.\” On that score I think Jon and I will have a lasting marriage as he is a very kind and […]

New Normal for Buddy & Me

Ho Hum Days I am trying to figure out what is my \”non pressure\” fun thing to do after quitting my business. So far nothing has risen to the surface except to clean my office and see if that helps. It is still a work in progress but I did rearrange Buddy\’s cat tree so […]

A New Memory Game

A Garden of Memories My first play time since \”officially retiring\” has been to create a new Memory Game. I didn\’t actually \”create\” the game – I just bought the code and reworked it. So it\’s more design work I guess than anything but it did take me three days to do that! The old […]

Brand New Ending

Just quit already Two days ago I got an official letter from the Secretary of the State informing me that my business had been dissolved because I did not send in the annual year end report. If I had remembered that I was to do such a thing I would have but the thought just […]

Animation Play Time

Recording in the Sandbox I want to start playing around with creating animations, video bits and perhaps some podcasting. Just some fun stuff as I learn how to get better with all of it. The end result will hopefully help my business but in the meantime I will share my progress here as part of […]

Sunshine Helps

Sunshine helps Well, if we are house bound at least it is wonderful to have sunshine. It is streaming through the windows making everything cheerful – even a messy office. Meditations A few days ago I was feeling a bit \”in the dumps\” with my business and Covid 19 and life in general and I […]
