When we were kids chances are that we took no mind to the fact that every day when the sun comes up and then when it goes down it is an amazing show to see. That’s alright because, thankfully, it happens today just as it did when we were kids and when our ancestors were kids. The show the sun puts on for all those who take time to watch is nothing more than time moving us … [Read more...]
Hitting The Nail On The Head
There’s something in me that really does not like to make phone calls. Oh I like to talk on the phone. Talking and I are grand friends. But for some reason, my insides get squiggly when I have to make a call. Very strange indeed since I come from a very long line of telephone company worker bees. This phobia goes all the way back to the CB (Citizen’s Band) radios. We had them … [Read more...]
Long Ago Close-Ups
In the world today we all have our pictures taken daily. Nearly everywhere and nearly all day long. Well hopefully not in bathrooms. You just need to assume cameras are everywhere. I am not a fan of the picture taking world. I have come to realize that no matter what you look like in your head, the camera certainly does not lie. On top of that, those sneaky cameras like to … [Read more...]
Milestones Make Smile Stones
Milestones Make Smile Stones On the path of life, milestones are huge. Even little ones. First tooth. First steps. Have you seen the commercial where a guy gets up from the couch where other people are watching a baby do baby things. When the guy is out getting snacks the baby takes her first step. When the guy gets back he wants to know if everyone can make the baby take … [Read more...]
Is this you? Dripping and spouting off about drippers
If I were queen of the world I would decree that everything made and sold would last forever. Yes forever. There is no reason that dripper hose and especially the little dripper nozzle things last only a few years or so. Why do I go out every day to check my little drippers only to find that at least one has popped off and the line that is suppose to be saving water is now … [Read more...]
Is this you? The Movies we Choose
Life is so full of choices that sometimes I find myself ducking decisions instead of making them. Movies are a great ample example of this. Not long ago I read a funny thing. It referred to people who get to a certain age who happily are driving down a highway listening to music loudly as to drown out the cars and other things. Then when they get to their exit and they begin to … [Read more...]
Is this you? Birds bathing in the fence line
I really like my yard. Apparently so do the birds for miles and miles around. I thought about doing a bird bath once a long time ago. Let me set the stage first. I have cats. No, I am not the proverbial cat lady. HAHA. I just live rurally and cats are a must as to keep mice and all outdoor little furry things out of my silverware drawer! So again, I have some outside cats. As … [Read more...]
Is this you? What about that small stuff, stuff
Big stuff I can usually handle. Big stuff that I can fix either by myself or with some help in the form of a little bit of physical assistance or advice. Big stuff that I know where to go to get things fixed or who to call to pay to have things fixed. Big stuff that has a cause and then causes an effect. Those types of big stuff seem to be the easiest things to fix. The well, … [Read more...]
