SMALL TALK AND PIZZA

I was at a get-together last night with a very diverse group from work….we met in one of the women’s hotel room, ordered pizza and had drinks, chips, drinks, dip, drinks…… The conversation got serious only once, when we touched on the economy…..most of us are retirees with investments going to...

GARDEN REVERIE

How lush was the garden surrounding the old house I’d lived in all my life With a lily-lined border tracing the white fence line…..I hardly noticed now Willow branches dipped low over the rolling emerald green lawn… Grass so thick and deep that my bare feet felt almost bathed in silk when I walked....

TREATS...THE TRICK IS GETTING IT DONE!

A cake in the oven, baking too slow…will it ever be done? I followed the recipe, step-by-step….measured and poured: Blend a pound of butter with 3 cups sugar, and beat, beat, beat Until light and fluffy….round and round it goes ‘til fluffy…..

CLOUDCROFT

Standing on the deck, looking across at the valley view Aspens and pines spilling down to a field where horses feed; A squirrel jumping on a branch just 3’ away startles me….. Chipmunks skitter across the ground just below the railing. The air is fresh, like ice….blue sky, white clouds suspended….... Sign in to see full entry.

REALITY BITES...IKE

It’s always the aftermath of a catastrophe that most people, thank goodness, know nothing about…..after the television coverage….the media “event” passes….then comes the real deal….the reality of dealing with the destruction, the clean-up….the part of trying to get back to normalcy.

IKE...5:30 AM...GAG...I CAN DO IT, I HAVE TO DO IT...

I’ve been off a week….went down to the lake…..left to the winds of Ike, let them blow me back to Dallas. Tomorrow I’ll go back to work where I’ll spend the next few months helping people who have had their cars damaged in Ike. Due to the nature of this storm, most will be flood claims, the nastiest...

IT'S 100 DEGREES IN MAY

And it was a grand day to be alive in Dallas, Texas….. The sky was bright blue and the clouds were fluffy….. Planes around the airport were like silver arrows flying true….. And the traffic flew down the freeways, fast…a new week ahead….. A new week ahead….a week off, after thirty days straight on... Sign in to see full entry.
