We're back! Taking a leap of faith

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

Bob Dylan - Things have Changed


It's been a while.   I never wanted to let this blog go for as long as I have but things happened.  First off for whatever reason we lost our Facebook accounts - both for this blog and my personal account.   I still don't have access to it and by now, I've reached the conclusion that I never will.   

Most, if not all of my readership came from Facebook.   

Then we had some changes in the job, some health problems.  Some things that made 2024 a mess, and before I knew it is the middle of November and I'm looking at a blank page and asking myself "What can I write about?"

So, just to fill everyone in, I'm slowly but surely poking my head out and again.   I'm working in insurance again and even created my own website to help - ReppartWilson.com - which will be my business site, I'm even debating about doing a few YouTube videos to give my personal opinion about the products that you should look for.   

I've also had a small barely used Instagram account which may start to get more use, both as an advertising tool and social media site.  I even have a Tic Tok account but again that more to look at news and video's than to actually be used for anything else.

In the coming months, I'm going to have a lot to learn, but you know what.   I'm doing this.

I am taking a leap of faith and going into something I love.  Helping people.   

What?  You did think I was going to say insurance sales, did you?   

But all jokes aside, this is what I do.  You can't hide in the bushes forever.

The summer that I go to war

When I first moved into my house some five, nearly six year ago, one of the first things I noticed was that we had a tree out back that was nearly strangled by an invasive woody vine called Oriental Bittersweet.   At the time I didn't think much about it as other more pressing problems, like a new roof and insulated windows, came first.  Other problems and projects kept pushing that "little issue" back onto the corners of my mind.   Small "little issues" tend to become bigger ones.  Oriental Bittersweet That's the problem with home ownership, their is always "one more project."  One more bill. I was considering where to plant the Pawpaw and new Bur Oak   and this corner seemed to be a very good option.  That's when I noticed my problem,  I have several Multiflora Rosa growing in my "wilds" and one that somehow I've missed over the last few years, it's become rather well established.   The Oriental Bittersweet was reaching o...

America's 250th - I am still a Patriot, I still believe....

  I could not let America's 250th birthday pass without some comment.   I love this country, but frankly this is not the country that I grew up in.   I'm not sure exactly where we went wrong and although it would be very easy to blame the current administration and the whole MAGA movement, that is to easy of a solution and not entirely true. What ills America today is a combination of things.   A combination of errors, bad decisions, mistakes that created a cascading effort.   We simply are not the country we thought we were and the proverbial chickens have come home roost.   Nor do I have a solution.    So why write about America's 250th birthday at all?   Because I believe in this country, despite where we are currently.  Because I am a student of history and we have seen all this before, and we have seen the solution to it as well.  Because after much thought about the state of the world and reading ...

Adventures with Juustokiapa

    So what do you do when you find yourself alone on Mother's day?   It was a truly miserable day of low temperatures, howling wind and at one point, about an inch of snow on my front yard.        Well if your me...you make cheese.   Not one, but two different types of cheese.  Both of which you have never made before and wanted to experiment with. I'm actually happy to call both a success, although the quick mozzarella I made missed the mark in my opinion.        That's the fun thing however, and so far I've been pretty successful in my cheese making endeavors.  I was not going to do a post about cheese making however, generally speaking they are only popular with 3 - 5 people and I don't really have a lot of great photo's to share this time.  However I decided to because one of them is a bit unusual, a lot of fun and simple to make.   Although it is time consuming. Juu...
