A FEW WORD ON PERSONAL PRODUCTS

Have you ever kept count of how many different personal products you use after a shower? After taking a shower the other night, I had an out of body experience. As if watching myself from a distance, I saw exactly how many different types of personal products I use after taking a shower. DeCleor... Sign in to see full entry.

DANCING ON THE DECK

It's one of those slow, lazy Sunday mornings. I'm sitting on the back deck listening to the birds chirping, the locust clicking and the sountrack from the movie, "The Bodyguard". My morning outfit is a little bizzare - a green summer dress, black Keen slides (the most comfortable shoes I own) and a... Sign in to see full entry.

THURSDAY IS MOWING DAY

Thursdays are mowing day. With the weather forecast calling for 92º F weather for the next three days (who would call for 92º heat?), I hope to mow until about noon and then quit for the day. There's one goose left by the pond. Husband thinks there may be something wrong with it. As much as I have... Sign in to see full entry.

A MORNING THOUGHT

Did you plug your cell phone into the charger last night so you would have a fully charged battery today before going to work? If you're like me, the answer is 'yes'. Every night before I go to bed, I plug in my cell phone so the battery will be charged for the day. If I run the battery down during... Sign in to see full entry.

MISTAKES BLOGGERS MAKE

Have you ever written something, proofread it with care and then when you were trying to add the final touch by adding a photo, you hit the wrong button and lost the whole thing? That just happened to me! I was quickly pressing keys to move between screens and accidentally lost an entire page of... Sign in to see full entry.

RELY ON THE EVIDENCE

The evidence is clear, ladies & gentlemen of the jury. A pacifier left behind the kitchen sink; The diapered teddy bear body discarded on the kitchen counter; And, a tent over the back of the couch, all point to one thing - the presence of grandchildren! Sign in to see full entry.

CALM BEFORE THE STORM

It's 7:24 in the morning. I've been up for about an hour spending a few quiet minutes alone and cruising around on Blogit. It is the calm before the storm. Some of the family is coming for lunch today. My best guess is that there will be anywhere from 15-20 family members here and that's not... Sign in to see full entry.

A Mother's Heart

Last night, Husband and I watched an episode of No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain was there to do his usual exploration by eating his way through the city of Beirut. What was meant to be an episode of fun and food turned into a nightmare of war when Israel began bombing Beirut in... Sign in to see full entry.

A Rainy 4th of July

What better thing to do on a rainy 4th of Juy than to go the local American Legion for a pig roast and the a movie? One of our daughter-in-laws (DIL No. 1) and our 4 year old grandson joined us. The pig roast was a huge disappointment. Even though there was a generous amount of food for the price,... Sign in to see full entry.

HOMELAND SECURITY OPS FOILED

There's been an invasion in the flowerbed. Japanese beetles have landed and are devastating any late blooming pink primrose. Not satisfied with the primrose, the invaders are also hungrily destroying a beautiful white rose bud and anything else they can land on for more than a minute. My lengthy...
