Sister for Sale


    Is there anyone who would like a girl to keep them company? Well, I know someone who would be up to the job.  She likes food, noise, and bright colors.  And the best part is she’s only twenty dollars!

    Firstly, this girl can really eat, and I mean really eat.   You know those leftovers that have been sitting in the fridge for the last month, well; Holly can exterminate those in ten seconds flat.  Tired of old Halloween candy lying in a bowl?  She can cure that conundrum in no time at all.  See, food doesn’t need to go rotten anymore.  Those days are over.

    Also, awkward silence is not a problem with my little “friend.”  That is mostly because there IS no silence.   Fatigued of silence and boredom?  Holly won’t let you down for entertainment during almost any time.  You will almost always have multiple questions to answer.  Don’t waste any more time sitting bored on the couch.  Call Soon!

    Additionally, tired of boring beige, teal and a touch of salmon?  Holly can color up that problem quicker than you can say, “Put down that marker.”  All you need to do is buy some cheap makers and give them to Holly and she will turn your house into a masterpiece.   The best part is, if you get the right kind of markers, it may never come off.  So throw those salmon curtains down and make way for Holly!

    Lastly, just give me a call at XXX-XXX-XXXX if you are interested in buying my sister.  She enjoys food, noise, and lots of color.  Once again, she’s only twenty dollars.

    By the way, she comes as is, no warranty and absolutely NO REFUNDS!



It is fun to imagine life without a little sister sometimes. I believe I can get rid of my sister, I’ve been dreaming of it for almost 10 years now, I’m inspiring others to buy my sister.  All in fun, of course.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

  I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas).  The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66.  Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!!  What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!
