It’s been a week of distractions and the derailment of best intentions, all self-sabotaged of course. Truthfully, more often than not, I fell asleep in my chair right after dinner and woke up in time to stumble off to bed. I’m not even going to try to come up with an awesome story as an …
Any Monday That Includes Coffee AND Brownies is Going to be a Great Monday Read More »
The smoke/haze/fog/mist is thicker today. I can hear ships sounding their horns as they navigate their way through the canal, the light house horn answering them. At least that is what it sounds like. The air has cooled down quite a bit, and I find myself begging God to bring rain to the entire west …

As I sit here waiting for my tea water to heat up, I can hear the wind starting to gust a bit outside, and of course I feel my stomach start to tighten up with each one. I hate that something as fiercely beautiful as a windstorm is something I can no longer enjoy or …
Eeek – Friday the 13th! It’s Just Another Day . . . Or Is It? That’s Up To You To Decide Read More »
The weekend pretty much got away from me. I have no excuse other than that I was doing other things. After sleeping in a bit late Saturday – and loving every second of it – I woke up to the sound of the rain pounding on the roof. It was so loud! After making coffee …

Did you have a good day yesterday? Mine ended up being very productive! I have taken my new low-carb / keto way of eating to the next level and started doing intermittent fasting. For anyone who doesn’t know what this means, I have my last meal before 8 p.m. and don’t eat again until noon …

Good Morning and a happy Tuesday to everyone! The sky is a little overcast, but that’s OK. If we have to be at work anyway, it doesn’t much matter what it’s doing outside, does it? Sunshine does make us smile, but at least when it’s cloudy we aren’t pining away to be somewhere else . …

Good Morning, Happy Saturday and Weekend! I love sleeping in a little bit and though I am still tired, I did pick up an iron supplement yesterday and am hoping it will start taking hold soon. In the meantime we just celebrated Waffle Day a day early (and I’d forgotten it was Waffle Day!) and …
Celebrate the Weekend at the Playground With Your Parents! How Fun! Read More »
Ugh! This was one of those weekends when I really needed to get a LOT done, and got very little actually accomplished. There is so much to do in my office to clear it up enough to allow us to blow up an air mattress for a visit from my son’s family, and I found …
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Are you wearing green? I don’t actually have any green clothes, so I’m not. We DID have corned beef hash (made with daikon radish instead of potato) for breakfast and I have a slab of corned beef in the slow cooker, so does that qualify for celebrating this day? It will …
Last night while we were watching a little TV after dinner the phone rang. It was our 3 year old granddaughter, Miss B. She is growing up so quickly and it makes my heart feel so good that she asks to call and talk with us. Hearing the excitement in her voice as she shared …
