Have I ever said I love my forties! Oh, I have? Many times? Well, excuse me for repeating myself. I think repeating myself is coming right around the corner too so I might has well have a little practice. I cannot help but ponder all the things that used to vex me daily. Mostly about […]

So what if the beans don’t get done and the blog doesn’t get written. This is what I told myself in the shower, although I didn’t really believe myself. I thought I had to be somewhere early tonight and I was in a rush. You know the feeling, when you feel your blood pressure rising […]

Cherish your human connections, your relationships with friends and family- Barbara Bush Granny, how am I related to him? “Well, let’s see, you’re double kin because between Pop and me, you’re cousins on both sides”. This was my life story, growing up in a small town. It’s a wonder I ever found anyone to “like”. […]

What if we could look at things differently sometimes? We are all on that carousel of life going round’ and round’, involved in so many different things.

Okay, time to humiliate myself again in front of all my blog followers. Do you ever have those days? You know….the ones where you wonder where you left your brain? I prefer to think that mine is just so full of great information, that it can’t possibly process anything more. We won’t even go into […]

I love to read. When I was a child reading was my favorite pastime. Where I read was important too. Depending on where we lived, or whose house I was visiting, I had my favorite spots. While at home, I loved to paddle our little jon boat (flat bottomed boat with 3 bench seats) out […]
