Look out bumper cars, here I come!
There are bumper cars at or near the site of this year's Lael reunion (I think those sneaky Kramers might be plotting a take-over :)), and there's a waterslide, too. I'm taking my swim suit, for sure, although it remains to be seen whether or not I'm brave enough to...
Hanging in there
Well, Buck had to be put down; he was in too much pain and he depended on me to do what needed to be done. Maybe that's the greatest act of love we can show a dearly beloved pet--stepping up to do the hard thing when it's time. Yes, I cried a lot, and I still...
A Sad Day
It looks as though the old Buckaroo will be leaving us today. Lots of crying to be done, and plenty of remembering. There will be smiles as well as tears, and all the Buck stories will warm our hearts. What a gift that horse has been to all of us here on the Triple...
An Open Letter to Bill Gates
Dear Mr. Gates: Please stop changing things! Every time I learn a new program, you re-mystify the thing, pronto. You do realize, don't you, that we Baby Boomers still represent a sizable portion of your demographic? That we use computers and most of us have some...
What a week!
The start of a new book is always challenging, and "The Marriage Pact" is no exception. I got way into Chapter 2 and didn't like the all around feel of it--so I deleted that and started over. 🙂 You know me and Starting Over. The thing is, if the first part of the...
That darn dog…mac and cheese…and Martha
Bernicie got me up at 3:00 this morning--granted, I usually rise at 4:00 anyhow--so I figured I might as well roll out, especially since she was standing on my chest. 🙂 The cats do that, by turns, but for the Yorkster, it's a new trick. She wanted to go...
Monkey Mind and Other Stuff
Monkey mind, of course, is a term meditators (and others) use to describe the way one's thoughts tend to leap, screeching, from limb to limb and tree to tree whenever one is attempting to concentrate on the subject at hand. As an ADDer, I have first-hand knowledge of...
Perchance to Dream
I often wonder what my dreams mean--not that I usually remember them at all. When I do, I figure it must mean something. I've often puzzled over a dream I used to have about Sadie, my late and very beloved beagle--she was driving away in a beige Ford Fairlane,...
Last night I dreamed….
But not of Manderley. I dreamed I was moving to Florida with my ex-husband--and we'd be crossing the country on his motorcyle, no less. He wanted me to leave my dog and cats behind--and to be fair, Rick is a mellow guy these days, and an animal lover to boot. (We've...
I’m rollin’!
The new book is off to a great start, if I do say so myself. 🙂 My goal is two chapters per week, taking Wednesdays off for acupuncture, errands, etc., and so far, I'm on target. There have been some changes already--the series is now called THE BRIDES OF BLISS...
All better!
Sheesh--that cold was a lulu! Much better now, though I still have a slight cough. Since Jen is away on vacation, I'll be selecting two winners at random from the comments and notifying them, then posting the names. I'm sorry I've had this so goofed up. I spent last...
Sick Day
Well, the acupuncture treatment was tres relaxing, as usual, but I think it unlocked the head/chest cold I've been fighting off for a couple of weeks. I'm taking it easy today; hopefully, I will be back tomorrow.
