Fire Marshal Judy


When I saw today's daily prompt from WordPress, I thought of my sister Judy.  She has a quirky habit, in fact we tease her that it borders on OCD.  This habit of hers goes way back; as far as I can remember in our adult lives, anyway.  We lived together for a couple of years … Continue reading Fire Marshal Judy

Liam The Lion Turns 5


I didn't have a chance to blog yesterday, other than doing my part for the Weekly Photo Challenge.  I was busy, as we all get; but I was busy making pins during the time I would have been writing.  I was making pins for the party favors for my great nephew's 5th birthday party, a … Continue reading Liam The Lion Turns 5

Ice On Glass: Weekly Photo Challenge–Window


Weekly Photo Challenge Today:  Window Ice on Glass:  Our window froze up quite nicely during the sub-zero temps over the last week or so.  This was the result.  Our cats were frustrated because the view of the bird feeders was blocked!

It’s Not Hump Day, But


It may not be Wednesday, but this is a Hump Day story anyway.  Let's get today's thank you addressed in the first paragraph.  Elizabeth. She's a lovely young lady that works with me.  Every Wednesday when I come into the lobby and say good morning to her, Elizabeth greets me with a huge smile and … Continue reading It’s Not Hump Day, But

Pinterest Junkie


I like doing crafts.  I also like Pinterest!  Frankly, I love Pinterest.  My friend Lynne turned me onto it and for a while I was a bit addicted.  I'm amazed at what I can find among the millions of pins that pinners share every day!  Food, fun, fitness...and crafts...lots of crafts.  Two of my pin … Continue reading Pinterest Junkie

Stone Cold: Moving Day


I've moved, a LOT; just ask my friend Lynne who told me once to "Stop moving. I've erased your addressed so many times, I've worn a hole in the address book."  All those moves happened pretty much when was in my twenties and thirties.  By the time I'd hit forty, I was in one place … Continue reading Stone Cold: Moving Day

When and Where I Do My Best Thinking, I Think


The daily prompt today: When and where do you do your best thinking, got me thinking about...thinking.  Thoughts are quite constantly running through my head.  I have to put my earphones on at night and listen to music (no lyrics) before I sleep, to quiet my mind and let go of my thoughts. I would … Continue reading When and Where I Do My Best Thinking, I Think

Beyond the Pale, Again: Hope It’s As Good as Yesterday’s Post


I so enjoyed writing using yesterday's prompt, Beyond the Pale;  I had two ideas pop into my head at the same time. While yesterday was about the hike from hell, today I tell you another little story about my crazy fear of heights. When I was a kid, like just about any kid in Rhode … Continue reading Beyond the Pale, Again: Hope It’s As Good as Yesterday’s Post

Beyond the Pale: Well Yeah, But Never Again!


I've tried new things in my lifetime, really I have.  I'll admit that recently I haven't pushed myself too much Beyond the Pale (today's Daily Prompt), but there are things I've tried, completely out of my comfort zone, that I would do again and things I definitely will NOT do again.  Case in point:  A … Continue reading Beyond the Pale: Well Yeah, But Never Again!

It’s Movie Night


Who doesn't enjoy the movies?  From the time I was young and the family would pile into the Chevy station wagon to head to the drive-in on a summer weekend night, I've loved seeing movies on the big screen. The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes, Herbie the Love Bug, Mary Poppins, all seen on the wide open … Continue reading It’s Movie Night
