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

Summer Lovin’ Photo Challenge


This week's photo challenge is definitely a fun one! Show us something you love. It could be your favorite novel, the light of the moon on your deck at night, the beach on a hot day, or that special you-know-who. Since my husband and I actually left town for a vacation earlier this week, I … Continue reading Summer Lovin’ Photo Challenge

Minion-Making Music Multiplies the Merriment


We all have songs that remind us of specific periods and events in our lives. Twenty years from now, which song will remind you of the summer of 2014? I know some of you might think that a song can get too much air time on the radio, but I don't think this one can ever be over-played. … Continue reading Minion-Making Music Multiplies the Merriment

Today Really is 20 Days To Go!


On July 9th I mistakenly counted only 20 days until my year-long journey of posting a thank you each day would be over... I counted wrong.  Maybe it was because that had been my 345th post and so I just assumed there were 20 days left.  I just looked at the calendar and realize that … Continue reading Today Really is 20 Days To Go!

LILBUGA


I was SO hoping to be able to use this picture for something when I took it.  I was coming off I-95 in Providence and this little pink bug was in front of me.  As I got closer I could see better what was in the window.  Clearly, she is a Hello Kitty fan...a BIG … Continue reading LILBUGA

Nosey Delights: Vegetable Garden


I've written before about favorite smells; summer = Coppertone, Christmas = gingerbread cookies.  Today when I got home from I walked over to our garden to one of my favorite smells, fresh as can be zucchini, summer squash, cucumbers, and...the first ripe tomato of the season!  Thanks today to my husband for planting and tending … Continue reading Nosey Delights: Vegetable Garden

Live With Heart


Everyday I get the daily Buddha Doodle post; they're terrific and always make me smile.  Today's did not disappoint.  After I'd read it I happened by a coworker's office.  She's getting ready to go out on a medical leave--it was somewhat planned but she will be out longer than she'd originally expected. Initially she was meant … Continue reading Live With Heart

The Four Agreements


When I was going through training to become a certified empowerment coach we had a whole host of required reading to do.  One of the books that I found most memorable and practical was The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Each of the four agreements on its own seems like good, common sense advice for anyone.  … Continue reading The Four Agreements

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

Can’t Stand Me: The Video


What do you find more unbearable: watching a video of yourself, or listening to a recording of your voice? Why? The sound of my voice on a recording never sounds like what I think it does, and these days I certainly am not thrilled to see myself on camera.  So which to choose? The first … Continue reading Can’t Stand Me: The Video
