I wrote about my first job after college originally on day five on my year-long expedition to thank someone every day. I look back on it now and professionally, I am not in the same "place" I was a year ago. No matter, I still remember with great fondness my first job after I graduated from college. ****************************************************** … Continue reading Right Outta College

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
The weekly photo challenge this week made me think of my grandkids and when they lived with us. 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

Eleanor, Daddy, Mommy
I know that today's photo prompt is "Relic" and while these pictures of my new great-niece and her momma and daddy, I had to post them. The creator of Instagram gets my thanks today. It's the best way for me to get a good look at this little angel who lives a plane ride away! … Continue reading Eleanor, Daddy, Mommy
You Don’t Live In Guam! You Live on The Other Side of the City, for Goodness Sake!
Not a statement I would expect to hear on a Saturday morning at my local Panera while having coffee with my sister and aunt. But, indeed, I heard just that. While chatting away over my orange scone and hazelnut coffee I noticed that my friend Lynne was coming into the restaurant. I've written about Lynne … Continue reading You Don’t Live In Guam! You Live on The Other Side of the City, for Goodness Sake!

I see that I didn't post for the last week's photo challenge. Since I don't see a new one for today, here is one for last week's topic: Contrast. I took this out of my living room window last winter. I enjoy the cold much more than the muggy, hot, rainy days such as today. … Continue reading A Contrast Photo Challenge
