There are many days that I miss living in Vermont. The calm, quiet, clean feeling of the fresh air and uncluttered lifestyle. When I am most desperate to feel close to my Vermont "home" I take a look at pictures my friend "Bud" puts on his Facebook page. To participate in this week's Photo Challenge I'm sharing a … Continue reading Vermont Reflections

Music In My Life
What sort of music was played in your house when you were growing up? What effect, (if any) did it have on your musical tastes? During one part of my childhood it was: Neil Diamond, Chuck Mangione, Frank Sinatra, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, soundtracks to the Man of La Mancha, Fiddler on the … Continue reading Music In My Life
Happy Wanderer (or not)

Cat Inside the Basket (Weekly Photo Challenge)
Most cats enjoy finding out-of-the-way places to tuck in and nap, especially in the sunshine! Our cat Bubba is no exception. One Saturday afternoon I found him in the magazine basket he'd knocked over in the bathroom--a favorite place for him especially on warm days. Enjoy!

I’m A Hershey Girl
What is your favorite sweet thing to eat? Bread pudding? Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies? A smooth and creamy piece of cheesecake? Tell us all about the anticipation and delight of eating your favorite dessert. Not into sweets? I like sweets, no doubt about it.

I Thought I Knew What I Was Getting
Today's writing prompt asked us to think about this: Tell us about a time when someone had you completely fooled, where the wool was pulled right over your eyes and you got hoodwinked, but good. Was it a humorous experience or one you’d rather forget? What was the outcome? Have you ever had an employee … Continue reading I Thought I Knew What I Was Getting
