This Year's Houseboating Adventure -- A Mixed BAG . . . .

We drove down from Michigan to Kentucky in the rain. Lots of it. We loaded the boat in the rain. Since there was a lot of rain and we had a lot of stuff with us, the excursions back and forth made for wet shirts and plastered hair -- but very high spirits. We were so excited to arrive and get each... Sign in to see full entry.

The Boat is Coming For ME

Ever been house boating? Well, on Sunday we're heading south for Kentucky and a little house boating. We did the same thing last year and had a ball -- all 11 of us. The same thing is about to happen this year and everyone is more than a wee bit excited. Yours truly is hoping this drippy nose/throat... Sign in to see full entry.

"You Are Always Welcome In A Gathering"

So read the lucky words of my fortune cookie. Do YOU always feel welcome in a gathering? As a kid I certainly did not. I have never been one for crowds, nor have I been the center of attention. And for the most part, that's OK with me. I'm the type who prefers to be one on one with a good friend, or... Sign in to see full entry.

Puzzling Over TroublingThoughts . . . .

As some of you know, I am a nurse practitioner now working in family practice. I'm not a new NP, but this is a new job and I certainly have been learning tons these last few weeks as well as experiencing things I would never have anticipated seeing. Today was no exception. I'm significantly changing... Sign in to see full entry.

A Few Observations . . . .

It's so easy to be judgmental, isn't it? To judge people on observations, when you don't know the whole story? Take, for instance, something I saw yesterday. I attend a large church with a ton of handicap parking in front. I've seen one of the truly handicapped park there -- a young woman with a... Sign in to see full entry.

Is It Just ME? Or Do YOU Find This Strange?

Over a month ago, and probably two by now, I was out walking the neighborhood with my darling Auld Mutt. As I ambled along a few blocks from home, I happened to notice that one of the "For Sale" real estate signs from a particular house had ended up two houses down from where it belonged, tossed in...

Another Object Lesson For The Day . . .

My sis told me a story yesterday that touched my heart. She took her 11 year old daughter out to Walmart on Friday for a few things. Abbie has been blessed to grow up in a family that always has enough of everything. There is always plenty of healthy food available (thanks in some part to my... Sign in to see full entry.

Totally Pooped!

Yesterday I had too many 30 minute type visits stuffed into 15 minute slots. And Jane'sO, being new and still somewhat clueless, got behind. One of the docs saw my last patient -- very nice of her. I was almost the last person to leave the building, only one doctor remained, but I believe that was... Sign in to see full entry.

A Cough Is A Cough Is A Cough, Right?

I never knew there could be so many variations on a theme pertaining to cough. In three days I must have seen about 12 or more people with various complaints of cough. Some were vague in their descriptions. One gent said he had experienced flu symptoms off and on for many years... uh and what... Sign in to see full entry.

I Saw Squirrels Frolicking and Cavorting . . . .

Four black squirrels playing, pouncing, running, dancing, frolicking about the yard... until they saw my dog and me coming, at which point they high tailed it up the tree. Today the Auld Mutt and I made it further than we have for some time. She spent some time with the vet last week (including an... Sign in to see full entry.
