When I left the house Friday, M was concerned because he hadn’t remembered it was Valentine’s day, so I told him NOT to go buy me anything, but to pick me some daffodils from the yard. When I got home from work, he asked if I had noticed my surprise out through the kitchen window. Continue reading “A Daffodil by Any Other Name”

Happy Valentine’s Day 2020!

M has always been a big proponent of greeting cards – he LOVES to give and receive cards for every special occasion, so I made sure I had a couple of Valentine’s cards for him this morning.

I can’t say those days are normal, in the way days used to be, but maybe they’re not so bad. Continue reading “Gratitude IS an Attitude”

I did it! Yesterday, I was able to meet with the attorney my financial adviser recommended – and WOW! What a difference!

The advice he gave me is the polar opposite of the advice I received last week. Continue reading “And Now for Something Really Special”

I am in the wrong business, all together.

My brother and I had a very good meeting at the attorney’s office yesterday. Very informative. Learned a lot. We were given good information. I certainly appreciated their expertise. Continue reading “Where is That Money Tree?”

You know, as soon as you see that logo, there’s a certain sound that echos through your brain. You can’t help it! Continue reading “Law and Order”

Some days are fun. Some days most definitely are not.

And yesterday was not. Oh man. I don’t know what was going on, but M and I were on COMPLETELY different wavelengths. Continue reading “Take A Deep Breath”
