Make Your Bed!
Just ask my husband, I hate making the bed. I don’t see why it has to be crisp and proper every morning. We are just going to get back in and mess it up again in a few hours. It works perfectly fine to get up, throw the covers up so it isn’t a complete… Continue reading Make Your Bed!
Michelle Bachmann Said…
“We will in all likeilhood never see a more godly, biblical president again in our lifetime.” (CNN) Here are the 10 Commandments: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not take the Lord thy God in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep… Continue reading Michelle Bachmann Said…
A Single Stool…Really?!?!
I think I’ve mentioned I have several kids, currently all teens. Since I have several, I’m going to be grammatically incorrect and use they or them, or any plural form, when discussing them individually or as a whole. The other day something happened that made me cock my head and say, “Really?”. I had mopped… Continue reading A Single Stool…Really?!?!
A-O-C = T-E-A, which spells D-E-F-E-A-T
I’m going to paint with a broad brush with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the face of the movement of incoming House of Representatives freshmen. I understand coming into a leadership position wanting to make a splash. I understand wanting to change the world, and change it quickly. I understand the mistakes of being in ones’ twenties.… Continue reading A-O-C = T-E-A, which spells D-E-F-E-A-T
Last Day, Sad Day
The last day of any trip, especially when it involves saying goodbye, is a sad day. This afternoon, we all head back home to California, New Mexico and Indiana. It was fun watching the faces of some people when they asked where we were visiting from and we listed all of these different places. As… Continue reading Last Day, Sad Day
Somewhere Different
For today’s walkabout, I had decided last night to go somewhere totally new, and far from the hotel. It was a subway ride to the walkabout. Battery Park was my destination as I wanted a picture of Lady Liberty since the values she has espoused for so long have been under attack, really since 9/11,… Continue reading Somewhere Different
Always Look Up, and to the Side
Yesterday was a busy day of sightseeing. We made it to the new Hudson Yards shopping mall, touched Madison Square Gardens, climbed to the top of the Vessel, marveled at the engineering of The Shed, saw Macy’s, ate at Keen’s Steakhouse (opened in 1885 and still in the same location), and saw Come From Away… Continue reading Always Look Up, and to the Side
Reflections
Today on my walkabout, a much warmer walkabout, my mind drifted to the events of the past year. And there were a lot of them. Last year at this time, no one I believe, could have predicted where I, and my family, would be at this time this year. There were things we were thinking… Continue reading Reflections
Hello New York!
I am in New York City with my husband and the Papas. It is our annual trip to the Big Apple for Broadway, good food, sightseeing, and of course, great conversation. As is tradition, I began my early morning walkabouts to see what I might photograph and reflect upon for the year. The main thing… Continue reading Hello New York!
