In about 1975, my first husband and I had returned to Seattle from Minneapolis, and were living on a shoestring.

Stock Market took a dive today!
Do.Not.Panic. Hold on, do nothing, and whatever you do, do NOT sell anything! I intend to keep my eyes open for bargains. Oh, yeah, and I found out that my company is being acquired by another company, and I am again in danger of being laid off. It might not be until next year, …
Autumn Reflections
Autumn is my favorite season. Hot weather doesn't agree with my body very much, and I always welcome the onset of autumn. The kids are back in school, the air is cool, and the sun still makes its appearance on most days. Here are some reflections of autumn that I have captured, mostly around home …
New Link in my Sidebar-LifeSiteNews
Here's a link to a post by a friend of mine, over at Ratburger.org. I was impressed enough by his post that I have added a link to LifeSiteNews on my sidebar, so Pro-Life RushBabe49 followers can go directly there.

I found my retirement “calling” on the Hillsdale cruise to Hawaii
I am 69 years old and still working full-time as a buyer for an aerospace company. Aside from vowing never to draw Social Security or be subject to Medicare (as a reason for keeping working), I couldn’t think of what I would do with myself if I retired. I play violin, but there’s not much …

Vacation Travelogue-Last Hawaii Stop-Kailua-Kona
After the thrilling volcano-viewing session, a nice dinner, and a good night's sleep, we arrived at our last Hawaii stop, the town of Kailua-Kona. Again, the Crystal Symphony had to "anchor out" in the harbor, and we were ferried in on the ship's tenders. It was only a 15-minute ride, and we got a good …

Vacation Travelogue, Hillsdale Hawaii Cruise, Days 9 and 10-Hilo and beyond
We arrived in Hilo just before noon, and the skies were hazy with what had been described to us as "vog", or "volcano fog", caused by the still-erupting volcano on the other side of the island. About which more later. Above is the view from the port side of the ship. Below is the view …

Vacation Travelogue-Hillsdale College Cruise to Hawaii-Day 9-Maui
We normally got up around 8:00AM, so we were able to stand at the rail and watch the island of Maui appear. As usual, it was a beautiful, sunny day. We saw many of these kite-surfers all around the Hawaiian Islands. Lahaina Harbor had a few, with their colorful kites. The Crystal Symphony had to …
