Azteca

Something to make me feel better.
What with all the eye drops - yes, still. I taste them, and yuck - indigestion. Tomorrow will be better.
Hummm. We went Sunday to Brindles Ice Creamery. The neighborhood place to meet, great and dig great homemade ice cream. There was this lady there trying and trying different kinds of the cold goodness. I couldn't resist! I jumped in and said; "They've ruined me for any other kind of ice cream. Azteca... the best. " A lot chocolate, chocolate chunks, cinnamon and oh! - don't forget the vanilla. fold in some almonds and you've got a treat. I bought her a cup. She loved it! It was good all around!

Today, i continued to drop junk in my eyes -- steroid drops, lubricant and antibiotics -- i dropped $500.00 on new tires - ouch. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some Azteca... That'll be better! yea, that'll be better.

OPINION!!! 8 red Flags... bells clanging: Buyer beware...

If you don't know me, ask anyone. I am as honest as the day is long. My honesty is something that has actually hurt my career: I was not "correct" enough to "gain favor." I call 'em as I see 'em. So, this is the story of my family's experience with a local company and my opinion of their customer service. This has been a tough year for my husband and I. We had been taking care of his mother for about 18 months when she passed away. My mother in law and I have had an always touchy relationship and she had a really hard life. We were happy and blessed to have been able to take care of her when she needed it. She never wanted to "sell or rent" her house after she moved in with us. So, there it sat, empty. She paid the higher insurance rates, and we moved the majority of her things here to my home.  After she passed away, we knew that we needed to liquidate the majority of her belongings. My husband did not have the appetite to go through h...

A touchy subject...

I've been marketing and marketing and marketing. Not really actively yet, but thinking, brainstorming and such. Trying to get the creative juices flowing and bouncing ideas off my silent partner, my hubby. He and I always come back to the idea that good enough is good enough for most people. They wouldn't want to pay for a CERTIFIED professional photographer to come and deliver HIGH END images of what ever they need. What I see is a need to educate. Educate our clients and end users on why we demand the prices we do. I hear from so many clients: "Ohhh, that's a little pricey...I'll just get my Aunt Edna to shoot the photos for me. She's got the exact same camera as you!" At this point I realize that I will not be getting the gig and that they will be happy with "good enough". So many of my colleagues say that we should not criticize other photographers (non-professionals) work. Why not? As professionals - or people who aspire to be - shouldn'...

Get bees... it'll be easy... it'll be cheap... The real costs...

Get bees... ... you can capture a swarm, but that needs drawn comb... so unless you already have bees... no. Today's cost? $225.00 - 300.00 for a NUC of bees. Basically a starter colony. 5 frames, drawn and filled with resources or brood. (I paid 175.00 back in 2020. I got a NUC bursting with bees. In fact, this new-beekeeper didn't know better and they swarmed within a month, even though they were in a bigger box and had plenty of room. If they want to swarm... they swarm.) The good part? If you establish a bee yard, that in itself is a swarm lure... I have captured many swarms in the trees just south of my bee yard...  You have a 10 frame deep box to house them in... great. But they will need 2-3x that before the end of summer. So, that is 20 more waxed frames, and 2 more (deep or medium or shallow) boxes (how ever you wish to extract honey from)... ~$100.00 for the boxes, 2.00 per frame. Approximately 240.00.  Sugar to feed a new colony. You have to feed them so they will d...
