NOT a phone story!!!

 It’s a Happy New Year so,  on to new adventures! I just spent several very enjoyable days at my friend Karen’s home with Deborah, Gin, Ellen and Janice. It is an annual tradition of fun with Tennessee and North Carolina friends. We stayed in for New Year’s Eve and, not only were we awake to watch

Baby & Me

Who would have thunk it? My new part-time job is babysitting with a curly-headed, energetic 13 month old precious Baby Boy. My children were born in the 60s and my grandchildren in the 90s and the year 2000. Since then most of my exposure to little ones has been oohing over the grandbabies of friends.

Finish This Proverb

I stole this directly from Janis Ian’s post on Facebook. What insight indeed!! A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb… It’s hard to believe these

WHAT is it then??

One of the minuses to aging are the changes to my body. I’m talking beyond the sagging neck skin, age spots by the dozen and face wrinkles whether you frown or smile. Bumps and tiny growths all over the place; some here for a short time, others settle in for the long haul. Joints now crackle, snap

It’s Been A Year!

Believe it or not! Jayne and I have been housemates since last August. We have shared the same KUB bill for a full year now….and still smile about it! She hasn’t left yet, even though just yesterday I had the wrong stove eye turned on and she put her beautiful tomato pie on it and it’s

Another view of Carpe Diem

Glennon Doyle Melton’s point of view. Realistic and truthful. Put work, love, passion in place of parenting and it works out the same. I agree with what she says; know that I drive some people to distraction with my use of the motto, but it is my best reminder that we have only today.

Stuff

Delicious! is fun fiction by Ruth Reichl, former food critic for the New York Times and publisher of Gourmet Today cookbook.

I Don’t Feel So Nice Anymore

I am trying to pinpoint where this feeling comes from, if it is an external or an internal source. I take a pill daily for depression. Actually two pills. The second one is to help the first one do its job to the best of its ability. My body doesn’t utilize the first one so

My 70th Year – SeniorPeopleMeet.com

What I Did on my Snow Days The snow days of February pushed me to another first, to check out an online site for the purpose of anonymously checking out people, choosing to speak to those I think sound congenial via the internet with the idea of eventually meeting and dating if you both consent.

La la Land

  Tennessee weather made a name for itself this February with ice storms, frigid temperatures and four snowfalls in eleven days.  For a bad weather pattern to last so long is unusual in our area. Not only do Southerners  not drive in snow real well, most don’t know how to handle being confined for days. On
