Fried

Yes, I could be speaking about the weather, as the sun and heat just about did me in today. I finally got home at 4:00 p.m. all wilted and needing fluids and couldn't wait to kick off my shoes and get into something loose and let the fan blow the cool a/c air on me. I could be talking of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Natures Daily Lessons - Part II

Florida Grand-babies are crying. They have learned a hard lesson today. They love kitty cats, but they did not know that even if they are well fed on Meow Mix, it is the nature of cats to prey upon smaller creatures. Poor mama mockingbird is very sad. During the night, a neighborhood cat invaded her... Sign in to see full entry.

Morning Madness

Morning began, for me, at 0400. It was still dark, the birds hadn't really begun their awakening chorus. It was an abrupt, and rude awakening. It was a frightening experience. No time to stretch, wiggle around to awaken my limbs to movement, to enjoy the few glorious sleepy moments before hopping... Sign in to see full entry.

It is famous among hikers and photographers for its colorful, undulating forms, and the rugged, trackless hike... Sign in to see full entry.

Treason, Piracy & Counterfeiting

Okay! Okay! So my little trick of the previous post didn't work for everyone. Since I wouldn't want for anyone to be left out and not know the answer to the question about federal crimes listed in the Constitution of the United States of America, and what crimes would warrant one being incarcerated...

333

So, I was sitting here at 3:33 a.m. not sleepy, and a little bit bored, and I noticed this thing called Pinterest which I have noticed before. My curiosity got the better of me, so I pointed and clicked. Of course it was another one of those things that you can't look at unless you join, and though... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleepy Is As Sleepy Does

These days, I fall asleep at the drop of a hat, it seems, at any quiet moment, if I sit down, or relax. I'm sure part of it is due to my age, or to the fact that I stay up pretty much all night, or perhaps it's all in my head. But, anyway, I often wonder what I might look like, or sound like, when I...

No Fly List

Even though Friend Richard is growing a couple of castor bean plants in his back yard in Phoenix, he claims that he has no idea how to make ricin, nor has any desire to know how. He said as much when he posted this picture on his FaceBook site which he accesses from Verizon. So, his FB account has... Sign in to see full entry.

You Gotta Love Him

I can't help but messing with Son Mark's mind sometime. I fixed him some supper this evening and I put this in the middle of his plate. I had to laugh when he got up and went to his bedroom to get his reading glasses to get a good look at it. It took him a while, but he finally figured out he didn't... Sign in to see full entry.

A Year Gone Bye

I have my favorite chair at my place--a Laz-y-boy recliner. Now that Great-Grandbaby is one year old, and her birthday party is over, she has her favorite chair at her house. It is pink and shiny and easy for her to slide in and out of because it is just her size. It is her favorite birthday... Sign in to see full entry.
