Early last evening I was standing at the windows, looking out into the backyard. I was looking at all the debris the weekend’s rainstorm had knocked from tree and shrubs into the yard. As I stood there, I had a short fantasy of filming a take-off on “We Bought a Zoo” (wasn’t that the title)….here’s... Sign in to see full entry.

GOLDILOCKS ...IS THERE A GENE?
Is there such a thing? I recently saw a funny Pintrest pin that was composed of ten photos guaranteed to drive any neat freak crazy….it was hysterical! It had things like a silverware drawer with forks and spoons just thrown every which way….stacks of clothes with no discernable order, etc. You just... Sign in to see full entry.

VERY RANDOM THOUGHTS
I just saw an ad for a showing tomorrow night of "A River Runs Through It"....and, OMG! I always forget how unbelievably BEAUTIFUL Brad Pitt was in his prime. I always have that same realization when I see the Joe Black movie....and several others. But, this scene they just showed of him in a boat... Sign in to see full entry.

UMBRELLA TREE, BIRDS, RED CLAY TILES...AND BREATHING
There’s a tree on the north side of the patio that I’ve been trying to identify, but can’t. It is of what I would call medium height and is composed of six slender branches fanning out and up from a thick trunk, each branch seeking sun by a different path, knowing it would end up with a thick...

NESTING...AND OTHER STUFF...YOU KNOW, THE USUAL
I paused in telling the story of The Husband and my marriage…and then I stopped because the Reunion came up….and I haven’t really finished that story, either. That’s because, mainly….(I’ve still been settling with that one on the back burner)….I’ve been recuperating, and I gave myself fixing up the... Sign in to see full entry.

REUNION REFLECTIONS...THE WAY WE WERE
Your green eyes glittered in the moonlight as it shone through the window And our skin glowed bright and soft as we listened to the music and talked For an hour or two, in our special place behind your dad’s machine shop. I stretched across the seat and your lap, my back against the steering wheel... Sign in to see full entry.

TENDERNESS
Just listening to some music and I started thinking about a word and decided to write some thoughts about it…..yep, just some thoughts about a word. I might never do it again, but right now it seems like something I might like to do. I’m thinking about how I feel about the word, “Tender”. Billy Joel... Sign in to see full entry.

SERIAL OBSESSIONS...READING SERIALS, THAT IS...
During my reading life, I have had a passion (couldn’t resist, Strat) for series….I love them. I like a good character-driven series…..the earliest I recall was the The Bobbsey Twins and The Harding Boys and Nancy Drew series I devoured in elementary school. I would get stuck on an author and read... Sign in to see full entry.

EAST TEXAS TRIP...REUNION WITH THE TREES
I moved there in the fourth grade…we were a small class, in a small suburban school in East Texas. I had gone to little bitty Elysian Fields my first three grades, then we moved to Dallas and I started school in this huge school, but sometime before Christmas Daddy accepted a new job and we moved to...

REMEMBERING JACKS...
J acks was probably my favorite game when I was a girl….I played it for hours I don’t remember how old I was when I first learned to play…or when I stopped I just remember hours and hours of sitting in the most godawful positions…. In fact, while I’ve blamed my early bad knees on dancing and high... Sign in to see full entry.
