The ramblings and musings of Nancie Neal
Personal posts, my life’s story
It seems to happen consistently. The beginning of the year, and an illness takes hold, making me postpone everything I wanted to start, including recording a video a day… Except that’s not the real reason I stopped two videos in. I’m too much of a perfectionist and I haven’t found a decent video recorder that … Continue “Getting started (late) in the New Year” »

My husband and I wanted to fill our freezer with beef. He finally fixed it enough for us to use. The cover still needs a replacement seal, but since it’s winter, we’re not worried about energy loss. A couple of years ago, we tried the Meat Market west of Tyler. The meat was great, but … Continue “Adventures in shopping locally: Beef” »
I woke up feeling better, but my back still gets stiff every time I sit for long periods of time. Reaching down for anything is out of the question. I have been taking this downtime to make plans and hash ideas. One thing I put on my to do list is to change my blog … Continue “What new things to expect?” »

I texted the ladies’ group and let them know I won’t being joining them for brunch. Took a shower, hoping the … Continue “Life Ramblings – Sunday, December 4th” »
Yesterday was Sarah’s birthday and we took her to Menchie’s in Tyler, Texas.

We got to Illinois in one piece and earlier than expected. Spent the next day there, visiting Golden Corral and doing some shopping before making … Continue “A Difficult Trip to Make” »
I usually don’t post about a trip until I get back, but this time I have a house sitter for our trip. Actually, I have two. Nathan was told to “Stand by” by the marines, so he can’t leave the state. It’s possible that he’ll be deployed to South Korea for a “training exercise.” So … Continue ““Vacation” – sort of” »
I dream a lot. So much so that I forget most of it – at least until one stands out more than the rest. I remember three segments a few nights ago. The first was trying to pick up stuff from a car that was stuck on the side of the road. I think one … Continue “How weird are your dreams?” »
So my mother-in-law messaged me a few days ago, letting us know they’re retiring and probably not going to need their Jeep anymore. If we want it, we can go pick it up. This is great news! I mean, we’ll have to wait until August when we go to Vermont for the memorial. That said, … Continue “New Update: Car found!” »
