You may see this as a way of abdicating my daily post responsibilities. However, I've been reading this blog for quite some time; I share some of the same trials and tribulations, and I find reading today's post, I share similarities in gratitude. Please read her blog!

No Need for Black Friday!
I love living, literally, down the street from Benny's Store. For those of you who don't live in Rhode Island, or nearby Connecticut and Massachusetts border towns, you will not recognize the name.

I don't think I've written haiku since high school, however, … Continue reading Haiku, Can You? Happy Anniversary, Too!

Flu Shots, Not So Bad
I got my flu shot this week. There was a clinic at work as part of our quarterly all staff meeting. Some nice nurses who are affiliated in some way with our health insurance carriers, set up shop at one end of the auditorium and anyone interested could line up for their shot. No one … Continue reading Flu Shots, Not So Bad
