Happy Friday – Maybe My first thought when planning to write a blog post for today was to comment on current affairs. But current affairs are so… so… so Disheartening? Ugly? Frightening? All of the above? Settling on “all of the above,” I figured my mind needed to go in a different direction. And since […]

In celebration of this day of romance and love, I thought it would be fun visit a bit with Cupid, if he is not too busy to answer a few questions. Hi, there Cupid. Can you stop just a minute so my readers can meet you? What? Don’t you know this is the worst day for

Sunday was such a blissful day as I avoided the news and spent the afternoon with my youngest daughter. We’re working on a quilt together, and I’m so thankful that she was able to figure out the cutting of pieces to make the borders. She’s a bit on the OCD side, and her penchant for

On Monday I won’t be watching the inauguration ceremonies. Not just because I am heartsick at who is being sworn in, I haven’t watched many of those for a long time. Why when my patriotism has only slipped in recent years? I think the money spent on all that pomp is money wasted. And especially

In case you’re like me and rather numb with cold, as well as what’s happening in the political arena, maybe a dose of nonsense from Windy Wilson – resident word-scrambler at the Mule Barn Truck Stop – will bring a smile.

A friend sent me this meme and I couldn’t resist the urge to share it here. It perfectly captures the attitude of a cat, although perhaps not all cats. I’ve had some that were aloof, and some that were not. This doesn’t reflect my attitude about the holidays, either. It’s a wonderful, magical time for

By far one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving dinner involves pumpkin pie. This is the first year in I don’t know how long that I won’t make the traditional pie for dinner today. My granddaughter-in-law prepared the dinner and I’ll honor whatever she has chosen for desert, but rumor has it that I make

First I want to acknowledge Veterans Day and give a shout out to the veterans in my immediate family. My son, David, a Marine, who was in Desert Storm. My daughter, Dany, who was in the Army and was lucky to avoid combat duty. My brother, Michael, who was also in the Army and served

I don’t know who painted that charming scene with the cats and the witch and the glorious colors. Neither did the friend who sent me the image, so if any of you know who the artist is, please do share. I do know the artist who colored the Happy Halloween picture. It’s one I did
