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
A Hot Cup of Liquid Love (The Chocolate Kind) and Good Book!
It's c..c...c..c...cold outside, I'm f...f...f...freezing! Days like the one we're having here in Rhode Island, were the norm for me when I was living in Vermont and New Hampshire. The wind whips though you as if all you're wearing is summer cotton dress, even though you're bundled up like the little brother in the popular holiday … Continue reading A Hot Cup of Liquid Love (The Chocolate Kind) and Good Book!
Insert Snappy Title: HERE
The common wisdom is that if you have a snappy or engaging title for your blog post, the more traffic you might experience. The number of blog posts over the last 24 hours that share 2013 highlights from bloggers across the inter-web is probably too many to count. However, I thought hopping on that bandwagon would be fun! … Continue reading Insert Snappy Title: HERE
Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down In My Heart
What a fun song, eliciting smiles and memories of childhood songs from Sunday school or church-sponsored summer camps. The Weekly Photo Challenge: JOY, put this song in my head and it's been there since last Friday (when the challenge was posted). It also made this nice picture posted by Stephanie Ackerman Designs even more meaningful … Continue reading Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down In My Heart
Betsy: New Year’s Revolution
The kid in the AT&T commercial may be on to something: New Year's Revolution. I'm sure I won't be the only blogger to use it as a prompt for my writing today; there are surely thousands of bloggers who will share their year-in-review thoughts or their promises for the year to come. I hope thought … Continue reading Betsy: New Year’s Revolution
Judy, Judy, Judy (Weekly Photo Challenge: Joy)
My sister Judy and I used to date; each other. For quite some time, throughout much of our 30's in fact, we were each single. Some on-line dating efforts proved occasionally to be fruitful but nothing so long-term that we had to give up our shopping, movies and dinner dates. We accompanied each other to … Continue reading Judy, Judy, Judy (Weekly Photo Challenge: Joy)
Weekly Photo Challenge, JOY: Liam at Five
The weekly photo challenge is JOY, here is what came to my mind when I saw the challenge!
Where the Sidewalk Ends
I came across this Shel Silverstein poem that someone posted the other day. It reminded me of when I did my student teaching during my senior year of college; Where The Sidewalk Ends was a popular book among the third graders in my class. You might be familiar with one of his other very popular books, The Giving … Continue reading Where the Sidewalk Ends
December 26th Remembered
The day after...the day kids actually get to play with the toys that were ferociously opened on Christmas day. What I remember about the day after is going through the pile of opened gifts to choose a favorite. I may have mentioned that I grew up with seven siblings, so there were always lots of … Continue reading December 26th Remembered
