Midnight Music

When your eyes won't close at midnight, and turning in the bed is like rolling in the deep, turn on that jazz rendition and be glad you need no sleep. Sign in to see full entry.

The Road Well-Traveled

Great-Grand Baby Marianna is now an official resident of Missouri. She arrived from California last evening and the first thing unloaded and set up was her crib. Welcome home Marianna. The 70-mile part of I-35 on this map that is outlined in bright red is going to be well-traveled, both coming and... Sign in to see full entry.

Four Days Ago

I like watching old Law and Order episodes, now and then, on TV. I especially like watching the old ones that starred the man who was the girls' father on Dirty Dancing and that man who played a Kiowa Indian back in the 1970's in the movie Eagle's Wing.

In A Pig's Eye

Everything looks dead. But there is life in there somewhere. The snow is gone, and the sun is shining, and the birds are singing, and it is 60 o. Something good must be happening.

They (weather men/women) have been warning us for days on end now and suddenly, this afternoon, their predictions came to fruition. We are in the grip of Virgil. Virgil is, hopefully, the last snowstorm of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Life Is Not Fair

Since no visitors were expected, nothing special planned, I was a lazy person over the weekend and just let the place (and myself) go. I didn't do anything special to my hair, didn't put on any makeup, no shoes, wore only comfy green plaid pajama bottoms and a warm green sweatshirt. I must confess,... Sign in to see full entry.

Colcannon Tribute

Who could want anything better than corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and rye bread put together on a sandwich with hot pickles on the side, and Colcannon tomorrow? Now let us sing: "Did you ever eat Colcannon, made from lovely pickled cream? With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture... Sign in to see full entry.

Assuming Is Always A Mistake

"Every issue, belief, attitude or assumption is precisely the issue that stands between you and your relationship to another human being;.....and between you and yourself." ~ ThinkExist.com I went shopping this morning for a Magic NutriBullet. I found one at Target. It was the only item in my... Sign in to see full entry.
