Dog Days of Summer

One of those sayings people are familiar with. What does it mean & what is it’s origin? Historically this was the period following the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, which Greek & Roman mythology connected with drought, heat, sudden thunderstorms, fever, lethargy, bad luck & mad dogs. They are... Sign in to see full entry.

One of My Favorite Quotes--Audrey Hepburn

Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, I'm possible. Something I always try to keep in mind, even during the roughest of times. Especially when the response needs to be a yes. Such as now, working at getting a home loan. More than just for us. So we may rescue/foster/adopt animals. Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Not Domestic

So I told my husband early on (20 years ago). I'm still not much of a housekeeper. Unfortunately, neither is he. With health issues both of us deal with, we also don't always have the energy for it. We do try to do general maintenance. Take out garbage, for example. I was, mostly, raised by my... Sign in to see full entry.

Blocking Numbers on My Cell

I don't give my number out to too many people. When I don't see people in person, I prefer to keep in touch by email & Facebook. I do give it to close friends, so, if one of us is running late, for example, when we plan to meet, we can contact the other. Though, it might be more by text, than a... Sign in to see full entry.

Are You Spontaneous, a Planner or Both?

I'm a bit of both. In the past, my husband & I would sometimes go to performances. Events which would require purchasing tickets in advance. Which was easier to do when I could plan ahead. With current health issues I'm working through (which have improved), I don't always know how I'm going to feel... Sign in to see full entry.

Going My Way

No, not the film with Bing Crosby:) This is in reference to transportation. My husband & I live in a smaller town. Last census showed the population as being just under 16k. Twice as big as where I grew up. I prefer small towns & rural areas to live. Though, cities can be nice to go to for... Sign in to see full entry.

Rescue & Rehome in 707

You may remember that several months ago I posted about volunteering with the kitties at the local shelter. I began that last July. You may also remember that a couple of months after that I started a blog. Due to health issues, I'm working through, I didn't feel that I could do as much there as I'd... Sign in to see full entry.

If You Won a $1,000,000...

Many times people will ask, what would you do if you won the lottery? Since not everyone gambles or even enters sweepstakes/contests, I just put an amount. That way it would include getting it through an inheritance or some other means. Not stealing, though. I won't advocate that. Fortunately, we... Sign in to see full entry.

Cherished Childhood Toys

Most, if not, all of us have a special toy or toys from our past. I had a stuffed black kitty that I had gotten from one of the five & dimes when I was, I believe, seven. I just called her, Kitty. When my grandma & I sold the family home 25 years ago, I had a lot of different things I wanted to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Powers That Could be

There have been super hero graphic series since the 30's. Over the years, there have been more & more shows & films based on them. I do like some of those. We tend to watch crime dramas, fantasy & paranormal more often. I was thinking, though, if I could have a power, what would it be. My husband &... Sign in to see full entry.

Adult Hot Chocolate

My husband & I rarely drink alcohol. At most, perhaps a drink or two every few months. Often, it's less than that. Neither of us grew up in families where alcohol was served at gatherings. I can't honestly say if any of our friends imbibe, from time to time, as, alcohol isn't part of our visits. I... Sign in to see full entry.

The Kindness of Strangers

I've always depended on the kindness of strangers--Blanche DuBois (A Streetcar Named Desire). People have analyzed just what this statement might have meant for this character. For my husband & myself it's literal. From our experience, the people most likely to help are those who we were not... Sign in to see full entry.

What's a Picture Worth?

There are those who are professional photographers. Then there are those who do it more for a hobby, but, still have talent. Then there are others who take occasional pics of important events, such as, graduations & weddings. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I'm none of those. For one,...

Blink & You'll Miss it

I know there are places like this in the US. I'm guessing they're all over the world. Here, many of those were a stop a long a train's route. I know one (in the town I grew up) was called, Cunningham. After the trains stop running, then, these spots are all but forgotten. Except by older residents,... Sign in to see full entry.

Humor This

Yesterday was April first. Which some consider to be, April Fool's Day. The type of humor I have & what I tend to enjoy is, sarcastic, absurd, dry & goofy. What I don't care for is, practical jokes & pranks. At the least, they can just be mean. At worst, they can do some serious harm, including,... Sign in to see full entry.
