Where I plan to ramble on things
Try Out a New Church – part 3 – Non-Denominational (by myself)
This last Sunday I went to another new church here in the area. I was on my own because the rest of my family was at a Girl Scout Winter camp in another city. “B” and I thought it would be a good idea for me to try out another church on our list. This…
Another Year!
I made it through another year of blogging. As I stated last year I was hopeful to make it through another year. I have enjoyed writing this year. I wrote a lot about us moving because that was a big thing. I had my biggest read day with my “Big Changes” blog. I had over…
Christmas Music
I write about music on and off as many of you know. I enjoy listening to music. So, in this Christmas season I thought I would write about Christmas music. Last year I wrote about my favorite Christmas songs – https://ramblings.canhamcameras.com/2023/12/17/favorite-christmas-songs/ This year I am in a different mood. I have been trying to listen…

It has been a week of newness
So this week we were back in Idaho after our week in AZ for Thanksgiving. And this week has brought the cold and new experiences. This is what outside while driving has been like all week in the morning and afternoon/evening: So ice on the windscreen, but also fog. I have never experienced so much…
Time Back in AZ
This last week we ventured down to AZ to visit friends and family for the Thanksgiving holiday. The kids and I all had the week off from school (that is when they do fall break), and B was able to remote work Monday and Tuesday. We chose to drive down because of 2 reasons –…
Out of town and WordPress acting odd
Hello readers (I know all 2-5 of you). I have been really good about the every Tuesday posting, but for some reason WordPress is not playing nicely with my iPad while I am on vacation so I can’t get a proper posting done. So sorry everyone. I had something ready, ok well maybe I had…
