Hurricane Irma

Hurricane Irma is on its way and will impact Florida and the southeastern states. I have friends in Florida who are riding it out and hoping for the best. I’m in Tennessee and we will get some of that weather early next week. There are other storms brewing in the Atlantic too so keeping watch is a routine thing these days. To everyone in the storms path be careful, be alert and remember that life is always the most important concern in times like this.

Something About Job Struggles

I make my living making phone calls for a noble purpose. It can be tough work, just ask my coworkers and they will tell you the same. We all have our own struggles on the job.

The Predicament At The Pump

Due to extreme weather gas supplies are running low in some places. This pump at a nearby convenience store has run out of regular and mid-grade fuel. Gas is important and the price of it has gone up lately. Who knows what other situations will arise as future storms approach.

Status Update

Throwback Thursday – Hogsmeade at Universal Studios In Orlando, Florida #TBT

Two years ago we went to Universal Studios in Orlando to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We were in awe of what we saw. It truly is a magical place.

Fried Rice Is Leftover Friendly

I made this fried rice tonight and it was really easy to make. This is also a great way to compile leftovers of this and that into a delish dish. I used leftover chicken as the lead ingredient and added carrots, onions, eggs and of course rice. Use whatever you might have left over in the fridge. Be sure you use complimentary seasonings and spices to give it a taste of Asia.
