THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE
Yesterday morning was filled with a time of waiting while listening to reverberations of Claire de Lune as I was placed on hold. This seems to be the story of my life lately as I try to rearrange my schedule … Continue reading
MORE GOOD NEWS
Who would think that two little stones in the kidney could cause so much trouble? One Cat Scan revealed the little buggers a few weeks ago. Prior to that I was nursing a knee that had been Cat Scanned also. … Continue reading
GETTING THE BUGS OUT
For all my 77 years of living, I’ve been under the misconception that Daylight Savings Times was suggested by one of our founding fathers. Ben Franklin actually made a suggestion similar to this when he was living in Paris, but … Continue reading
WHEN IS TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH?
When we lived in the heart of Minneapolis, I had a membership at Costco. I’d drive a long way, spent more than I should’ve on things I normally wouldn’t buy, bought my prescriptions, had photos developed, got ink for my … Continue reading
DIETING WOES
In my lifetime I must have tried at least a couple hundred different kinds of diets. I started to notice that I wasn’t the cute little Shirley Temple look alike I thought I was when I turned nine or ten. … Continue reading
WOULDN’T IT BE NICE – PART TWO
Well here I am again. The second Sunday of missing church. The virus has created my nasty cough, which can be quite a nuisance in church, which is reason enough to stay home. Right after finishing my blog yesterday, I … Continue reading
WOULDN’T IT BE NICE?
Something happens to a person’s mind when they acquire a virus. I’m not talking about being hacked, although it seems I may have been. I am talking about the kind of virus that gets passed from person to person … Continue reading
TURN YOUR FROWN UPSIDE DOWN
In hopes of erasing some of the rhetoric and name calling going on over the past few months, I decided to devote this post to humor. The messes we create on a daily basis are often far from humorous, but … Continue reading
SO, THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN
Last October, I embarked on an old career. I stepped on the stage to perform again. The play was, “Southern Fried Funeral,” in which I portrayed Ozella Meeks, the church lady who tended to all the funeral arrangements. I guess … Continue reading
WELCOME TO MINNESNOWTA
At least the April snow showers waited until Final Four was over. I don’t know why we’re always surprised by a late snow storm in my state, because it has become apparent that we only have two seasons – winter and … Continue reading
IT’S PIE DAY!
This is the perfect time of year for a warm piece of pie with a scoop of ice cream on top. Slowly the ice cream melts and cascades over the crisp crust, enticing every taste bud in your mouth. You … Continue reading
RE-RUN FRIDAY
Since deer hunting in Wisconsin begins tomorrow and my husband is now getting ready for the trip down there, I’ve decided to re-post this article from 7/14/2017. Hope you enjoy it again. My husband has many traits. He is intelligent … Continue reading
DOES CHRISTMAS COMES TOO SOON?
I love everything about Christmas – the lights and decorations, the fancy wrapping paper, the cookies and special treats -all of it. Today I’m following Julies lead, who wrote about her experience taking her granddaughter to see Santa. It stirred a … Continue reading
FATTY, FATTY, TWO BY FOUR
When I hit puberty, my weight became a problem. I always looked for the easy way out. Anything that would help me lose weight fast. It didn’t matter if I ate the same thing every day – charted my caloric intake – … Continue reading
HAPPY LABOR DAY
As my kids were growing up, Labor Day always signaled the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. According to my mother, you put away the white pants, dresses and shoes until next Memorial Day. I never quite … Continue reading
TUPPERWARE LADY
I was a Tupperware lady. In fact I became a manager of my own unit of salespeople, which gave me use of a company car. I became one of these “party” girls early in our marriage. Our children still needed … Continue reading
TAKE A VACATION!
One day, my husband entered the kitchen in his camouflage under armor and said, “I bet you can’t see me.” My response was, “You’re right. I bet if you take your shirt off, you’ll be half the man you used to be.” … Continue reading
