This was my post from day 6 when I started this project. I heard from so many of the AmeriCorps members appearing in the picture at the bottom of the post. They have all gone on to be successful teachers, social workers, business professionals, managers, parents. They also continue to provide leadership in their respective … Continue reading Post from Day Six: AmeriCorps

7 Days to Go; Time to Revisit the Beginning
When I started to blog 358 days ago, I never imagined how much my writing would change, or how many people I will likely never meet read my blog, or just how much I've enjoyed blogging every day that I just might continue! I've decided that for the next seven days, as a way of counting down to … Continue reading 7 Days to Go; Time to Revisit the Beginning
He Doesn’t Let Me Win, I Have to Beat Him Fair and Square
The past few weeks I've enjoyed the chance to post more than one picture for the Weekly Photo Challenge, this time is no different. The Zig Zag idea got me thinking about Scrabble and how you can build the words by going back and forth over the board. My husband and I might be a … Continue reading He Doesn’t Let Me Win, I Have to Beat Him Fair and Square
Shopping with Lucille
If you haven't read my other post about my lovely, elderly neighbor, you don't know that she is no longer my neighbor. About six months ago she fell and it's not a wise idea for her to be on her own. So, she's in an assisted living facility nearby. We try to visit her every … Continue reading Shopping with Lucille
Zig Zag Climber

On Saturday mornings we had a bit of a ritual: breakfast, SpongeBob, and then either to the library or to the local YMCA for some fun in the playroom. While the kids were in the playroom I'd … Continue reading Zig Zag Climber

Offering this thought as my post today:
There is Always An Irish Proverb to Set Me Straight
I am grateful that this work day is over, it was long and difficult. I also want to thank the people who made it just a bit more pleasant: Jacqui, Dan, and Elizabeth.
Wordle of the Day, What It Says About My Blog
I thought it might be fun, as I close in on the last couple of weeks of my year of daily thank-you's, to use the Wordle site to create a picture of what I've blogged about over the last year. I was pleasantly surprised to find this after I put my site's address into the … Continue reading Wordle of the Day, What It Says About My Blog
Round 2: Summer Lovin’ Photos
I so liked the weekly photo challenge from Friday that I thought I'd share some more of why I love summer. Our garden has given us an amazing and bountiful harvest and will continue to well into the fall. We've shared with neighbors, family, coworkers, friends, and I'm sure there is so much more to … Continue reading Round 2: Summer Lovin’ Photos
Timmy’s Family Restaurant
My husband and I were on a ride around town this afternoon, driving slow and taking in the sites. Sometimes when I'm driving and another car is following, the husband will get a little antsy and ask me to pull over to let the car pass. Even though I'm doing the speed limit and it … Continue reading Timmy’s Family Restaurant
