Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer

I love all the seasons for different reasons.  Summer is a great season….even if it is blazing hot outside.
Flip flops and tee shirts.  Shorts and tank tops. Wearing sunglasses. Getting a tan. The smell of suntan lotion. Running through yard sprinklers or spending a day at the lake. Maybe the ocean.  Sand and salt on [...]

Cranes Falling From The Sky

Okay, that’s it. I’m not walking anywhere in the city where there is a crane being used. I saw the sad story on the news this morning about another crane falling over and one person being killed and others being seriously injured. These crane accidents are becoming more frequent. It unnerves me. I mean one [...]

What’s A Teacher To Do?

On the news this morning was a story about how a teacher was taped by one of her kindergarten students. The parents didn’t like how the teacher was treating their 5 yr. old son so they sent him to school “wired”. Now I don’t agree that the teacher should have used some of the words [...]

I love HGTV

I am currently watching a show called House Hunters.  Couples go around looking at various houses. They have to make a choice of which house they are interested in buying. I always find these shows interesting because of the things that are “deal breakers” for people. Some people like crown molding, some think cabinets are [...]

Trolls, Coffee and the Military

I just have a mish mash of stuff to discuss today. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Just stuff.
#1 I was out in my front yard the other evening, minding my own business when I happen to look up the street. (now the street we live on in the subdivision [...]

Light The Way

I just listened to Steven Curtis Chapman’s song Miracle of the Moment. The song talks about how we shouldn’t be so busy that we miss the truly important moments of life.  His song is very poignant in the light of the fact that he and his wife just lost their 5 year old daughter this [...]

Did I mention that I love icecream???

I have gone back to the low carb way of eating. It really is the best way for me to eat. It helps me keep my blood sugar on an even keel. No dips, no spikes. That is all good, I admit I feel better when I eat this way. It might not work for [...]

I Believe It’s A Conspiracy

I think all my possessions have conspired against me. Trying to pack to move seems like an impossible task. The more I pack…the more there is! I don’t know if there are enough boxes in the world to pack all our stuff. We might have to take down a couple more forests just to make [...]

Where is John Wayne when we need him?

It’s on days like this that we could really use John Wayne.  If “The Duke” had run across the guy that shot the officer yesterday he would have taken care of business. We might have had a shoot out in the middle of our neighborhood street. Whoever drew the fastest won. (We all know John [...]

Don’t Play Hide and Seek With The Police

This afternoon an officer went to a house in my subdivision due to a burglar alarm going off. As he got there some men came around the side of the house and shot him in the chest. We heard sirens, but thought there had been an accident. We had no idea. I was gone for [...]
