Welcome 2022!!




It's the start of a new year.
The last two were not good for most anyone.
Now we all know what happened so I don't think I have to repeat any of it, do I?
I know I didn't post much last year. I thought about it often but I'm a huge procrastinator. That and I work a lot. So most days when I get home my mind and my body says, "It's time to think of nothing else. Sat down and relax."
I can post some weekends if I really want to. But, unfortunately I end up working on Saturdays. So the one day I get off I have too many other things to do. 
So we will see if I can be more creative this year.
Three things that are happening this year are:
The first thing, the husband is going to have corporal tunnel surgery. That happens this month.
In February my daughter will give birth to our second granddaughter. 
In March the husband plans on retiring from his job.
Those are the main events that I know are happening. The rest is up in the air.
As for things I want to happen this year, I only have maybe a couple of things I want to happen. Like I'm hoping we can get more hiking done this year. Last year the only hiking we did was a very short one over by Neillsville. I forget right now how long it was. I can show you my favorite picture from that hike.

      This is a little paint turtle I almost stepped on. If he hadn't moved when he did to catch my attention I would have.
With the husband retiring we just might be able to get more hiking done this year. Unless I still have to work to many Saturdays. 

What I hope I can do here is to post more. Maybe I'll share some story ideas I have. 
One thing I do want to limit is the amount of whining I do about things I can't solve. Like politicians. 
Maybe from time to time I will comment on something bad that happened around here. There were a number of things that happened nearby that made the news. 
If anyone has any ideas on what I should write about don't be afraid to leave a comment from time to time. I don't bite, hard anyway. Kidding, I'm usually very open minded, unless. Well, just saying I do have my limits on some things. 
In other words, I need a challenge. So challenge me.
Well that's it for now.
Remember to keep pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
