I know I am taking a chance of drawing criticism with this post but they say to write when you are upset and you will feel better.  So I’m writing.
I belong to the Friends of the Library group in our town and today was the beginning of our annual book sale.  We generally sale the [...]

Tonight is Beggars’ Night in our town.  The night the children trade a joke for a treat.  (Apparently, our area is fairly unique in that the children have to do a "trick" to get a treat.)  As I waited for the doorbell to ring, I prepared Joe and my dinner with scenes of by-gone Beggars’ [...]

I have long enjoyed Halloween and had often dressed up when the children came to our house for Trick or Treating.  I know, I know, some of Halloween’s meaning is very, very serious stuff.  I choose to enjoy the fun of Halloween and dressing up instead.  (And I make sure my pets are in the [...]

I have mentioned before that my dad is 92 years old.  He is very lucky as he still is fairly active, lives in his own home and has  all four of his children who live within 30 miles willing to help him, plus some grandkids are close by too.
Well, today he had to have cataract [...]

You know, maybe I am a little slow on the uptake :0 but I was sitting here reading all the comments and realized…..wow, this blogging thing is kind of like having pen pals and kind of like having your private diary read around the world!
When I was a young person (no wisecracks, please, about the [...]

Whoa, I totally realized that I haven’t posted anything about how we finished our great Alaskan trip!  We spent two weeks sight-seeing in both Washington and Oregon and saw only a fraction of each state.  Today I wanted to write and post pictures of what we did in Seattle.
Since many of the Gnomedex parties [...]

I wish I could say I had another homophone in my last post, but I don’t think using "decent" for "descent" qualifies.  Sorry, about that.  My sentence should have read, "We were so close to them I could actually see their beaks as they started their descent."

Those of you who have read some of my previous posts probably understand that I do enjoy being out in nature.  I enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and feel of being outdoors, as long as it isn’t 99 degrees out with 200% humidity!  Actually, to me anywhere from 40 to 75 degrees is perfect weather.  [...]

I thought I should send the answer to the homophone paragraph I put in my last post.  If you took the challenge, here you go….the correct answers are in bold…
Little Mary decided to go fishing today.  She bated (baited) several hooks on won (one) line and through (threw) it into the see (sea).  Almost immediately [...]

Don’t-cha just hate it when you find out you aren’t perfect??  You’re going along just fine thinking, "Wow, I’m good" when BAM something slaps you up along side your head helping you to remember you aren’t God’s Gift to the World.
I really thought I was a decent communicator when it came to writing emails, maybe [...]
