GIVING IN TO CLOSED CAPTIONING
I am slowly losing my hearing. With the high cost of hearing aids, I’ve been struggling along. This disability can be a disadvantage to a happy marriage. Having the television turned up so high forces the other partner into another room. … 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
MY FIRST VACATION WITH MY HUSBAND
Picture this – it was almost fifty five years ago as my new husband and I embarked on our first vacation as a married couple. I know this would be considered ancient history in our culture today, but we’d only traveled together … 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
TECH WEEK!
The dreaded moment has come again. A time when my mind gives way to blankness with the addition of things like costumes, lights, complete set and use of props. Add to that the fact that my brain has slowly been … Continue reading

INTERNATIONAL TOWN CRIERS’ DAY
I enjoy looking at a site called Days of the Year, which lists all the special and unusual holidays at home and around the world. It’s amazing what people celebrate. Today is International Town Criers’ Day – one of those … Continue reading
TRAVELING WHEN RETIRED
Retire, they said. It will be fun, they said. You are free to go anywhere, do anything and scratch things off your bucket list, they say. Who are “they” and I’ll bet they’re not retired? Traveling today isn’t easy, no … Continue reading
ADAPTING TO OLD AGE
In today’s society 77 isn’t considered old, yet why do I feel like I’ve entered a new dimension – like the Twilight Zone? My hefty body has been supported by legs and feet which are beginning to falter under the … Continue reading
REFURBISHING
Today is my last day of being 76. Thus you will notice a variety of posts on restoration, rebranding, renovation, rebuilding and many more redos. When you’ve lived this long, you feel it’s time for a make-over. The thousand mile … Continue reading
COUNTDOWN TO 77
Every time I go in for my six month physical, I feel like I’m getting an oil change. Each of my levels is checked to make sure they are functioning the way they should. I’m asked the same questions I … Continue reading
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THIS?
Starting somewhere in Europe and migrating to the U.S. in the early 1900s, this ridiculous tradition is supposed to bring good luck to your house. I’ve often placed pictures on my fridge along with lots of magnets containing contact info … 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
DAYS IN THE LIFE OF A MOTHER
Every mom has a few funny stories she drags up once in a while to amuse her friends or remind her kids of how much fun it is to parent. Our kids usually aren’t amused at the retelling, but that … Continue reading
WORLD PASSWORD DAY
There are so many weird holidays. You can even make up you own if you want to. Today happens to be World Password Day. How do you feel about them? For me, if I don’t write them down, I forget … Continue reading
MY WRITING JOURNEY
Only fifteen thousand words to go. Maybe I could add some ands, buts, pluses, likewises or toos. The word count has been my nemesis in this process. I realize words are a necessary component to flesh out my characters, so I continue … 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
IN SEARCH OF MY MUSE
Writing a novel is certainly a lot different than writing a play, a poem or a short story. First of all you need at least 60,000,000 words. So far I have 38,001. I think the last word was “help!” I’m sure … Continue reading
APRIL 1ST – JUST KIDDING!
I was expecting the birth of my second child on the lst of April, but he fooled me and was born on April 3rd. That is the only April Fool’s Day prank I remember and my son had nothing to do with it. … Continue reading
I COULD WRITE A BOOK
As some of you know, I’ve been writing my first novel for some time now. I actually started it about seven years ago. Then life got in the way. We downsized and moved to a smaller home. About a year … Continue reading
