In your lifetime how many meetings have you gone to? Meetings are attended from the time you can volunteer. That could be as young as grade school. Meetings become more semi-important in high school. Clubs, student council, sports. Next up would be meetings at work. Would they come under the umbrella of most important? Maybe. But there are non-work-related meetings too. If you … [Read more...]
Creating Is In The Eye of The Creator
When was the last time you walked the aisles of a craft store? Seeing the little bags of beads and eyes that spin in little plastic bubbles. The embroidery threads and soft, softer, softest yarns, in full rainbow colors. The put together ships in a bottle, or snap-together cars that get better paint jobs than my Chevy. Do you “do crafts.” Plan, look, plan some more then buy six … [Read more...]
Time We Talked About: Facial Hair
This is a subject that was not talked about during my growing up years. The woman’s revolution has created quite a buzz about things that were never talked about outside of the bathroom. I am not too sure that each and every thing that happens in the bathroom needs to be discussed at such the lengths they are now. But! Yes, a coarse hairy “but.” Facial hair on a lady has come … [Read more...]
The Couch Surprise
Most people will not admit embarrassing things. I am not “most people.” As a matter of fact, most of the people I know are not “most people.” My friends and I are finally at the age that the weirder side of life makes for the best laughter. If we can’t laugh at ourselves what’s left. Here’s the story. Living alone has many drawbacks. Nobody but the last person standing in … [Read more...]

The debate continues in my head. Do I want to clean down to the shine of my house or do I want someone else to find the sparkle under last years deposits of dirt? The question comes up every year as I start counting the days down to spring. There is one thing that only I, and you, can clean all by ourselves. Our in-boxes. This task came up just a few days ago when one friend … [Read more...]
Fear Common Sense and Cats
Ah winter. To be sure this story could just as easily start with “Ah Summer, Spring or Tuesday.” There’s always a point during an activity that we must, yes must take a look at our next step and decide to go forward. Regardless of fear or common sense. Okay here’s my story. And I’m sticking to it. I live on the edge of a wonderful hay field. Sometimes alfalfa sometimes … [Read more...]
It’s Olfactory Overload Season
There are not many of us, but I happily tell you I am one. I am the one that will go into a candle or other sniffy shop and I want to smell each and every one. From Flowers in Grandams Attic to Something Musky. My favorite is nearly anything vanilla with a hint of rum and wood. Yes of course there are those that as soon as the smell enters my nose and it reaches my mind and my … [Read more...]
Is this you? The new roof
I may not be the brightest tube that years ago needed a few minutes to warm up to light up my television screen, but I thought I knew my way around my DISH Network satellite dish. Right off you can tell my background in electronics started many, many up-grades ago. A television tube is a lovely antiquated glass thing that in today’s world is heavier than even an 80-inch … [Read more...]
