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 . . .

The North Carolina Alzheimer’s Association’s annual Dementia Education Conference will be offered as a virtual option on Wednesday, September 2, 2020 from 9 am – 3:30 pm and will be free of charge to all North Carolina residents. Continue reading “Sign Me Up!”

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!”

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”

Another day, another link in the paper trail. I remembered (yay!) to bring the information the insurance company was looking for so I could scan it and email it to them this morning. I knew it hadn’t been that long since I sent it to them previously, and I was right – I last sent them this SAME EXACT INFORMATION on June 12, 2020. Continue reading “Mow, Mow Monday”

Insurance companies . . . bureaucrats . . . social security . . . physician offices . . . medical records . . . you put all of these together and you end up with a HUGE mess. One in which the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing – and has no intention of communicating with the right hand . . . except through you.
