I Was An Accounting Major for A Semester


Just one, that's it.  I did not like it one bit.    My first semester I was clear, at 18-years-old, that I wanted to be a teacher; that's why I went to college.  Somewhere in the middle of that first semester I thought maybe it would be good to try something else. Today though, I kind … Continue reading I Was An Accounting Major for A Semester

A Book By It’s Cover…Exactly


Does it ever make sense to judge a book by its cover — literally or metaphorically? Tell us about a time you did, and whether that was a good decision or not. When our grandchildren lived with us, we went to the library every other Saturday.  Enough books for two weeks of daily reading would … Continue reading A Book By It’s Cover…Exactly

Dream Night 2014


My nephew's blog, filled with gratitude and thanks to the people who help his child to feel normal and special all at the same time. Thank you, Roger Williams Park Zoo for Dream Night!

No More Room!


This week's photo challenge:  Room From the four walls that currently surround you to the infinite potential of space, this week we’d like you to show us your take on room, rooms, or a room.

This week, tell us about a lost art: one that you know, one that you miss, or one that should be lost for good.

She's been a role model to me for so much of … Continue reading The Art of the Thank You Note

What a Wednesday!


Tough day today; I needed a reminder about being grateful.  This was so helpful to see when I got home tonight.

Just One More Snap(shot)


I guess I'm completely obsessed now with this prompt for the Weekly Photo Challenge; if three posts for the same prompt can be considered obsessed. I was looking through pictures on my laptop for some to send to a co-worker for an upcoming publication.  She asked if I had any from the recent Annual Walk … Continue reading Just One More Snap(shot)

Another Snapshot


I really enjoyed yesterday's prompt and since it was to post only one photo, I did.  However, two pictures of the same era of my life really made me smile.  This one is also of girls in pretty dresses, but as you can see I did not have a headband in my hair like my … Continue reading Another Snapshot

Snapshots and Memories


I really like when the Daily Prompt requires a picture; some days it makes the posting so much easier! Open the first photo album you can find — real or virtual, your call — and stop at the first picture of yourself you see there . Tell us the story of that photo. When I … Continue reading Snapshots and Memories
