Hate! Or I would say actually fear, is the larger pandemic we are facing, and it seems to be growing ever larger. When a 17-year-old takes a gun across state lines to a peaceful protest and kills someone. When an 18-year-old takes a gun into a grocery store and kills black elders. When a 21-year-old… Continue reading A Larger Pandemic

For the first time this season, I had a moment on the patio. Actually, two moments. The weather the past two days has been absolutely gorgeous. Not too windy, not too hot. It was even shorts weather today while mowing the grass. Yesterday, the husband and I sat for a chat just before dinner. Our… Continue reading Patio Time 2022

I live on a very nice cul-de-sac where we all get along well, and trade baked goods. If I have extra, I share. If they have extra, they share. It has been very nice to get new things I might not have tried otherwise. Thankfully, my neighbors don’t seem to mind being taste testers when… Continue reading One Batter, Three Ways

My dear friend Lisa was in town this evening. She is traveling through on her way to visit family. It has been over a year since we were last able to spend time together due to Covid and distance. I picked her up at her hotel and was greeted with a big hug! She looked… Continue reading An Evening of Rejuvenation

The screams that erupted by the students was equally matched by the parents. It was so loud we actually only heard the 99, had to get the final score… Continue reading Attraction and Identity

It started on Thursday evenings and carried through into Sunday evening. All are doing well, thankfully. It was good… Continue reading A Little Me Time

Sorry as there will be no post today due to some major work projects.

As a nation of wanderers, to some degree, we move from state to state, city to city, and house to house. In the moves, we often leave things behind that have little sentimental value or just won’t fit. When we get into the new place, in opening boxes, most of have a moment of wondering,… Continue reading From a House to a Home

Netflix, Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Food Network Go, Paramount, HGTV Go, are the devil’s work. Most, if not all, lend themselves to some good ol’ binge watching. It is so easy to plop oneself down on the couch, grab the remote, and sit. Sit for hours as the shows queue themselves up, one… Continue reading Binge Addict

I often ponder if I’m the only person who wonders about religion, politics, Armageddon, and current social constructs. Did you know there has been a slow decline in Americans who are members of a church, synagogue, or mosque since the 1940s, then a bit of a drastic decline since 2000 (I believe this to be… Continue reading Religion in Politics
