This might be one of the easiest blog posts I've done over the 115 days I've been posting. Today is my wedding anniversary. I got married eight years ago, I was 42 years old (yes, that makes me 50 this year). We shared our wedding day with everyone in this picture. More than just that one … Continue reading Eight Years Ago, Today

Daily Prompt: Simply Irresistible
Anything ice cream, but when it sits on top of chocolate bread pudding, well...
Haiku, Can You? Happy Anniversary, Too!
Haiku is the weekly writing challenge at the Daily Post at Word Press. Seventeen syllables to express a thought, completely, in three lines--five, seven, five. While typically, a poem such as this is meant for describing nature, I'm putting my own spin on the challenge. I don't think I've written haiku since high school, however, … Continue reading Haiku, Can You? Happy Anniversary, Too!
I Have Confidence In Me!

I was just minding my own business.
Say Please, Say Thank You
It doesn't seem a difficult thing to do to thank someone. I find it funny that it doesn't happen more often--or, at least I don't hear it.

I know that I'm not unlike thousands of women in the world. I've tried everything, again like most people, who've played the weight loss roulette. I have to admit though … Continue reading Weight Watchers Can be Fun!
It Can Be This Simple
Today's prompt on WordPress is "perspective". Bloggers are encouraged to write or share a photo in their post that documents perspective, how we get it, what impacts it, etc. I was looking through some notes I'd made about the other blog I occasionally post to, 3 Grandchildren, 2 Grandparents, 2 Cats; and I came across … Continue reading It Can Be This Simple
There’s Nothing As Good, As A Good Book
The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel must be intolerably stupid. — Jane Austen Lately, as I look for potential ideas to focus my daily thank you on, I find myself going to the Chasing Happy Blog. This month her focus has been to share something that … Continue reading There’s Nothing As Good, As A Good Book
Wish Lists and Holiday Dreams
In 2011 our grandchildren lived with us during the holiday season. As December approached the kids were bombarded, like any kid who watches tv, with commercials that would let them know what to ask Santa to bring them. On Saturday morning I would hear Coco's little voice after each ad for a new doll or … Continue reading Wish Lists and Holiday Dreams
