We have instated a new day in our home. Thursdays are '1 bag of trash from the garage', day. After lunch, I slipped into the garage, put on my gloves and started going through the boxes. The first and second boxes were filled with CDs and DVDs (yes, I know I am old), so I … Continue reading Grief

Big Momma
I went in for a can of milk and ended up roaming the aisles at Target. I was ambushed by Hearth&Home by Magnolia, endless swim suits on display, kitchen gadgets, art supplies and so on. As I longingly looked at something to purchase, Big Momma (my mind) decided to wake up from her slumber and … Continue reading Big Momma
The art of apology
I am very hardcore when it comes to my daily workout. I am a nice and sweet person overall, but if anyone takes me away from my routine runs/jogs/walks I can be a whole different beast. <Begin Beast Mode> Kiddo, who was supposed to jog with me today, woke up at 11 am.

Red painted toe nails
Eons ago kiddo was learning how to swim underwater. Hubby and I would get into the 3 feet deep pool with her and he would stand at one end and me at the other.

Never, ever, never!

Because, my Cherry is a barker. She barks at every dog. We went on our usual route … Continue reading Never, ever, never!

Bees and Roses
I like to watch my roses bloom every spring. As spring rolled around this year, I was disappointed to see no roses. Well, one or two but not as many as I expected. I went closer to pluck a few. There were tons of bees on the rose plants and they kept buzzing around my … Continue reading Bees and Roses
About the Bald Eagle
We were watching The ShawShank Redemption recently and hubby was in tears. He is like that. All it takes is a song, a speech or something beautiful to move him to tears. Kiddo and I have a code word for it "Waterworks". On the other hand I am stoic. I have been asking myself this … Continue reading About the Bald Eagle
