The Carbon Promise
Imagine showing up at a high school to speak to the faculty and realize THEY’RE ALREADY TEACHING THE PROMISE!!! This happened to me recently, when I drove to Central Utah, to a city named Price, and visited Carbon High School. Principal Jarad Hardy had reached out to say he had seen my video about […]
The Ocean View & The Sand Dollar
Recently we spent a week in beautiful Southern California, a place called Oceanside, which is becoming a tradition for our family. What a great place! I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I’m not a huge fan of the beach thing…sand everywhere, sunburns even when I put on sunscreen and hide in the shade, there’s […]
The Broken Winch
For nearly a decade, we have relied on a steel cable winch to lift our swim spa cover up and off to the side, since it’s too heavy to for one or even two humans to lift in the space between our home and the neighbor’s fence. Over the past few years, it has slowly […]

The Drinking Fountain Promise
Most people only know that the drinking fountain spout sits one way. They may never think about any reason to move it, and so we lean over and stick our face under the spout to catch the flowing water, or place our water bottle angled just right to catch some of it. Such as […]
Invisible UPS Store
Recently I had to return a package, which required a visit to the UPS Store. I have no idea where the UPS Store is, since we’ve lived here for 18 years and I haven’t needed to go there yet. So I Googled it. I was stunned to zoom in on the location and realize it […]
