It has indeed been a very good year for me. As I look through my picture library I am reminded of my adventures, good fortune, and wonderful friends. I’m a sports fan! Basketball and Baseball! I play Mah Jongg weekly with good friends! There’s the monthly Book Club and Bunko. I won’t mention my record…
Sadness In The Yard
You know, I’ve spent a lot of time talking about my Wild Kingdom. My love for the wild birds started sometime ago. Actually, as I reflect back, this feeding habit started after my husband died in 2009. He wouldn’t have liked the mess that all these birds can cause, mostly sweeping up seeds and peanut…
The Saga Continues!
Do you remember from early days of cartoons, the reference to Eat at Joe’s? I wondered if that was just faulty memory. Today there is no such thing as a memory lapse, when the answer is just a click away. I was happy to read the following: Joe’s Diner was a popular Los Angeles eatery…
ATTEN-TION!!
I recognize that this is a busy week for all of us as we prepare for holiday parties and family fun time. While this happens every year and we all have our own traditions on what we buy, what we eat, what we drink and who we play with; what also remains consistent are my…
Quiet
The title of this blog probably comes as surprise to you, as you must know by now; quiet is not my favorite form of communication. Quite the opposite. I have notes to bolster my confidence; i.e. “Manage Your Expectations” “Patience” but also the continuous misspellings of words I use regularly are on a running list….
Sunday Chores!
Are you organized? Do you set goals and then measure them? How ya doing with that? I’ve always liked the idea of getting organized on Sunday. Since Monday, is trash pick-up, Sunday is the day to purge. Toss that old food that I was sure I would reheat. Empty those waste baskets, black bin. Recycle…
Leaves and Music…Mixed In With Rain Drops
Often times I get my inspiration for these blogs from music. Now that I have pretty much covered a 3 week New England adventure, it’s time to write about my regular life while I am home. Yes, I’ve got another trip planned for the spring, but for now I was hearing Judy Collins singing in…
Hanging With Wilda and Al
Can you ever have too many friends? I didn’t think so either. I have friends from all over the country and world actually. It’s remarkable, especially since I’ve lived in the same community with a little detour before and after I got married. New Hampshire, specifically the area of Newfound Lake, where my friends own…
Finishing Up Fall in New Hampshire Part 1
It’s hard for me to believe that just 6 short weeks ago, I was appreciating all of the fall colors and now that same place had more than a foot of snow yesterday; just in time for Thanksgiving. What a difference it makes when you live in a 4 season city! I can only relate…
Dear Diary, Meet Blog Buddy’s and Twitter Topics
How did it happen? One moment you are pouring your heart out in your diary and the next minute you are sharing your secrets with the world and strangers to boot! I started looking for my diary, it’s somewhere in the attic, next thing you know I’m throwing out old metal curtain rods, it’s a…
