Month: July 2020

The happiest person on the face of this earth is my husband. No kidding. Ever since we got home from the beach and he’s been within his four walls, with his pups, he’s been as happy as a clam. Continue reading “Truly, There’s No Place Like Home”

How many times have I said it – it seemed like such a good idea at the time? This one really did . . . really! Our nieces were celebrating their birthdays (12 and 4) and they live at the beach so it seemed like the perfect opportunity for M and I to have a few days at the beach. Right? Continue reading “Down By the Sea”

Over the last year or so, M and I have really gotten into the bird feeding business. As long as I’ve been an adult and lived on my own, I’ve had a bird feeder, but keeping it filled has been an issue for me. Continue reading “Squirrels Are Baffled – Film at Eleven”

Today, I learned about a great online opportunity and wanted to be sure and share the details . . .

Lately, M and I have had several discussions about where we want to live and what kind of house we want to transition into next. Let’s face it – we’re two people living in a five-bedroom house. It’s probably well past time for us to down-size and get something smaller. Continue reading “The Dog Days”

The heat wave continues! I wish I could say I had a productive weekend or that I spent time outside, enjoying the summer, but it was too hot to do anything! I tried to stay indoors and move as little as possible. And this is only July. Ugh. Continue reading “It’s MY Money!”

Like seven inches from the mid-day sun . . . Continue reading “Man, It’s a Hot One”

Our younger son came home from Alabama last night! Yay! I know he’s not all THAT excited about it, because he’s in town to get the process started for his ACL repair surgery. Poor guy! He had to have the ACL on his right knee replaced when he was a junior in high school and at some point in time, he has torn it again. Continue reading “One Pill, Two Pills, Red Pills, What?”

This time of year, it’s the heat. It’s always the heat. I used to love summer when I was a kid. In fact, I can remember a time when we didn’t have air conditioning – all we had was an attic fan in our house. But honestly, right now, I don’t know how we survived it. It’s so hot outside! And humid, too! Continue reading “It’s the Heat!”

I saw this picture (above) on Facebook today and wanted to post it on the blog to make sure all of you saw it, as well. It’s really sweet, and made me think. Continue reading “You Never Know”
