One of my littles (my grandsons) was having a conversation with his younger brother in the back seat of my car the other day while on the way to our next quest. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" This is both amusing and thought-provoking since the eldest is eight years old... Continue Reading →
Been a Hot Minute – A Coffee Moment
As is usual, this morning I am pondering randomness over my first cup of coffee, like where did the expression "A Hot Minute" come from? However I look at that randomness, it's still been a few since I've blogged. Today's agenda will include a video call for a project I may be a part of... Continue Reading →
Goals – What to Do When You Reach Them?
This morning's thoughts are about goals. I am close to attaining a life-long objective this morning, and now I'm finding that I want to move my target. Ever do that? My journey has been towards weight loss, and now I'm ten pounds away from my life-long goal. Do I move the finish line or do... Continue Reading →
My Scale ISN’T Broken!
I'm getting close to the goal weight my doctor suggested but my bathroom scale hasn't budged in the last few weeks. I think those in the know call it a "plateau". How frustrating! I did everything I could think of to do - ate a little less, ate a little more, exercised less/more, drank more... Continue Reading →
“We May Never Pass This Way Again…”
Good morning, World. The title to my blog is in quotes because that was the main song at my high school graduation, and a big thank you to you, Seals & Crofts, for writing and singing about what we were going through back then. I listened to it on my Nano yesterday, while painting the... Continue Reading →
My Last First Date – July 3rd, 2015
Who knew that when my friend canceled our gold-panning trip with me at the last minute, that it would lead to my last first date, my last first kiss? My friend and I had been planning for a couple weeks to go pan for gold in the California foothills, but at the last minute, something... Continue Reading →
Groundhog Day, the Cardinals are back!
It seems that this morning Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, and just as I was receiving this announcement, I happened to be opening up my house for the day, flinging open curtains and such. And guess what? Right outside my window, sitting on my fence, was the first cardinal I have seen this year! I... Continue Reading →
Birthday Gifts and Other Randomness
So my friend did a thing. We had this conversation a couple months ago about the flooding that takes place in my back yard, EVERY time it rains, despite my efforts to channel the rainwater. I told her that I was thinking about embracing the large puddles, so she sent me a BUNCH of rubber... Continue Reading →
Things I Love
My first morning coffee, the way Hubbin looks at and laughs with me, phone calls from my kids and my friends, my Grands, honeysuckle, orange roses, babies, my Can-Am, pizza, sunshine, snow, paid bills, hot showers, warm rains, thunderstorms, fluffy down comforters, people watching, a clean house, freshly mown lawns, clean sheets, a child's hug, hearing...

Red Lights
I wrote this oh, perhaps fifteen years ago, back when I had a blog on someone else's site. That site went defunct, and I thought I'd lost all my blogs, but I found a copy of some of them this morning, so here is one from that era... I'm blessed with Red Lights. It is... Continue Reading →
