Back in the Summer of 2009, when I was getting my wardrobe ready for my dream trip of 46 years to Paris, France, I was in a store, and passing by this dress, it called my attention.  It was on the sale rack, so that made it more appealing.  I went quickly to try itContinue reading “The Look…that never materialized…the teller of the truth…”

Who is a Patriot? Someone who is unselfish. Someone who puts his or her life at risk for the sake of others, it doesn’t matter who they may be. Someone who looks out for the welfare of the others in his or her unit. Someone who gives strength to others even when he or sheContinue reading “Who is a Patriot?…Memorial Day…2011”

One day this week I was watching the news and there was a segment about the cost of education.  This particular father had attended an Ivy League school and he was stating that he didn’t think it was worth it for his daughter to attend college, because the high cost of education.  The saddest partContinue reading “If you think education is expensive…try ignorance…To go to college or not…”

And there she was…today was the last episode of the Oprah Winfrey show as we knew it.  I am looking forward to see what she may have in storage to keep us enlightened. “Each one of you have your own platform…”   That phrase she used at the beginning,  and it stock with me for theContinue reading ““Each one of you have your own platform…” Oprah Winfrey”

Isn’t it just the perfect color, the perfect contrast, the perfect size, in conclusion, just perfect to remind me during my walk this morning about the gratuitous gifts of nature, if we just take the time to observe all around us.  It was just there by a mail box in all its splendor waiting toContinue reading “Flowers…Flores…Fleurs…”

This morning I went for my solo walk, because my walking partner is out-of-town.  This bird was making the rounds for  breakfast.  After my necessary walk, full of warmth, sun, and lots of birds singing their tunes, I came home and turned on the tele to catch up with the news of the tornado in Joplin, Missouri.  One hundred andContinue reading ““Everything else can be replaced…””

This past Saturday morning, a relative of mine invited me to go to an art exposition in Raleigh, North Carolina.  There we went, enjoying the beautiful sunny day, lots of clouds for my collection, but nice non-threatening clouds, light blue skies, and a mini convertible to add to all and make it a perfect ride. Continue reading “The trip that wasn’t…or was it?…”

This morning while drying my breakfast dishes, I looked outside to my beautiful landscape, and there she was, a beautiful Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio Glaucas) Butterfly.  Immediately I searched for my camera and took a few pictures.  Had to go out to capture this image. Then, as you know by now how my neurons work, I thoughtContinue reading “My interpretation of the “Butterfly Effect”…”

This morning I went to purchase some lottery tickets.  Have to keep the hope alive to have condos in every city I love.  Paris, Sarasota, Washington, D.C., La Romana, Puerto Plata, and any other place that will suit my pleasure.  Without those tickets, only hope is to keep living my very happy, peaceful, and contentedContinue reading ““And…how old are you?”…”

  Yesterday I celebrated my 150th post!!.  Also, I am celebrating another milestone in viewership total.  It could be the same person reading the posts twice or three times, but little bits do add up.  The blog has been translated to French, Chinese or Japanese and Spanish.  Even though my readers like to keep aContinue reading “One hundred and fifty posts…150!!!!!!”
