The Cutie

02 testing the post hole

I found this in my archives a few days ago. Isn’t he precious?

We were building a property-line fence around the front yard that year– must be 8 years ago, now! Oh wow. How does time pass so quickly?

Well, we dug holes 2 feet deep all around the border and side yard: 25 posts. Oh my word it was probably the hardest thing I’d done. The ground was literally FILLED with stones. It took us quite a few weeks of post-hole digging and then shoveling or troweling out the enormous stones from these holes. Talk about how to lose weight quickly. It all came back, though. :-p

My son was intrigued with the holes. He wanted to test them. The fence still stands, and is in good shape, so I guess we passed the test. ;)

Cat in Sun

Watching cats bath themselves is relaxing. They are peaceful. So meticulous. So quiet. I need the quiet solitude right now; life is incredibly hectic. I am absolutely thrilled to have so much work at hand! It’s hard to believe that just six months ago, I was on the brink of anxiety, wondering where my income was going to come from. Lo and behold, God opens the doors and I have tons of work. I have been very, very blessed to work for a company that is well-managed and gives me plenty of work. I write on various topics, anything that interests me, from how to make wedding invitations to fact sheets about inventions. Plus, there’s blogging which is very pleasurable. But golly, I am so busy I have no time to relax.

So I enjoy watching my kitty, beside me, while she does it. :D

Superior Education Opportunities- Online!

22 Feb

I looked into getting an online education and degree several years ago. Did you know that just ten years ago, there was next to nothing available online? And even what there was, it was scorned at by “higher” education! Today, howevr, it’s a totally different story. Yay! The sky is the limit (well, that’s how I feel!) for getting a terrific education and a degree! The doors of opportunity are open.

One such online university, Western Governor’s University, offers a spectacular training and degree program. They offer Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in such fields as education, business, health professions, and more. WGU is a fully accredited education institution– they offer the same excellent education with the same rigorous training that you’d expect from any university. However, WGU offers it all online, which spells convenience– you learn at home without having to juggle schedules, a job, transportation, living expenses, and more. You can get an online nursing degree, which is a highly coveted field right now. WGU is non-profit, and it’s much more affordable than other colleges. Check out the website for more details.
