Daily Prompt: Your Time to Shine

Early bird, or night owl? That was the question.  This is an easy one for me.  I have always been the early bird. By around 9pm my mind is done for the day, as far as providing intelligent, insightful conversation or coming up with any grand ideas.  As a child, I remember begging my night […]

Weekly photo challenge: Culture

Stone crab boats lining up for the Annual Blessing of the Fleet In our small town, stone crabbing is a way of life for many, a part of our culture.  I took this as the boats left their docks to line up in front of the historic Rod & Gun Hotel for an annual celebration […]

Shopping with royalty

Today was Prom dress shopping day for the last prom ever to be celebrated in this household, so my daughter, her friend and I set out around 10:30am.   We had about an hour’s drive to get to the closest David’s Bridal so by the time we arrived close to our destination, we stopped for lunch. […]

Ahh, a relaxing shower….HAH

Okay, so we all know if you’re expecting a call, the best place to wait for it would probably be in the shower, right (or at least the bathroom)?  No, of course it won’t come if you think of it that way. However, it never fails, especially if I am home alone, enjoying the solitude […]

Black shiny shoes and a floppy purple hat

When my daughter posted this picture today of my granddaughter, my first reaction was this huge smile, followed by out-loud laughter, and then of course the missing her. I made some quip about someone having dressed herself again. I’ll be the first to admit that I feel somewhat obligated to match and dress seasonally appropriate […]
