http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/I am a muser of the southern female variety, and musing seems to be what I do best. Although I think being a muser is the best way ever to spend my days, but I would suggest that you don't quit your day job to become one as there's not a lot of money to be earned from merely musing.Putting my musings on paper, and attempting to trade them for filthy lucre is not my purpose for being here. I'm here to read your mind... as much of it as you will reveal to me and the other writers here when posting your thoughts. Sometimes I'll put my own thoughts down on paper, and of course y'all will always be welcome to stop by here anytime to peruse my potpourri of plain to profound postings. Oh, one other thing...I've given up on trying to be brief. I'll say what I have to say in as few or as many words as I need when I post; ditto comments. I just have to be me, darlins...hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/304202My mountain neighbor friend, S. met me and H. in Hendersonville for lunch. It was a near perfect day so we sat outside on the sidewalk to eat. My two close friends had never met, but felt they knew each other since I had told each so much about the other. S. is my songwriter, jewelry maker...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/303624I went home to North Carolina a month ago today. It was a trip so loaded with things to do, that my time just flew, and the next thing I knew...I was back home. I think of Grand Cayman as my home now only because Max is here. I knew I was homesick for my real home; I just didn't realize how much....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/291727I'm going home to my little house in the woods...I'm happier here than anywhere in the world. I'll be with friends, eat some NC syle barbque, and go to Walmart! When you don't have access to a Walmart (the prices in Grand Cayman are outrageous!), believe me...it's one of the first places where...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/281051I AM RENAMING BLOGGER'S BLOCK.

It seems she just doesn't know what she wants to do. I am not too worried right now, though, because we survived Ivan! We are in an exclusive club because of that, but I can't say I enjoy the exclusive...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/272509...FROM SOME FAMOUS SOUTHERNERS: LIFE...

I know their habits now, and have canned food and kitten chow waiting for them. Mamacat...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/271243Help...I have a dilemma...A mama cat and her four kittens showed up on my patio last week. I don't think they're feral...just out on their own long enough to be very skitterish. To the shelter however, they are either feral or tame, and these cats will be killed if I trap them and take them in....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/270659Life's like an uphill marathon We must persevere to stay the course From start to end and through the middle We seek to solve our own life’s riddle The pistol cracks the sky; the race begins Each journey begins upon one's birth And spans our first breath to our last If winning’s the end no matter...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/muser55/267859ARE THERE MORE OF YOU?...YOU ARE VERY RARE!
