I hope that by now you get it that I am fascinated with our space program.  Before I forget, let me express my appreciation to NASA TV.  I took these photographs this morning while watching on my computer the countdown for the lift-off of Endeavour. I always in my life have been a very curious person.  I am interestedContinue reading “Honoring Space Shuttle Endeavour and its crew…”

I was just thinking…have I already done a posting with this subject matter?  I don’t know.  If you are like me…I have already forgotten and there will be a few surprises on this one.  Every day brings a new set of surprises…or not. My Sunday mornings are very special.  I feel more relaxed that onContinue reading “Why routines are so important…for me…”

  This weekend I am off to Selma, North Carolina to go antiquing.  I love to be surrounded by old furniture, books, linens, paintings, magazines (of course), in general,  old pieces that remind me sometimes of my childhood.  It may be the odor of old wood, old books or just seeing and touching, and sometimes buyingContinue reading “Going antiquing…to keep in touch with my aging roots…”

This one is from my Memories Trunk… The picture above was of a friend of mine and myself making an attempt to pretend to play tennis.  To my friend my apologies for cutting you off the picture, but I didn’t have your consent to use your image.  Copyrights issues.  To continue…Why were we making anContinue reading “Tennis anyone…1970’s memories…how to catch a catch…”

  This past Sunday, on Mother’s Day, one of the cutest angels in my neighborhood knocked on my door and brought me a very sweet, reddish looking and cooling to my taste buds strawberry frappe.  I am salivating right now thinking about having the little bit leftover. After saying “Happy Mother’s Day” to me sheContinue reading “I didn’t get the memo…”

The most shocking news of my newspaper this morning to me was the headline “SETI is shutting down its alien hunt.”  An article by L. Krieger.  SETI stands for Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.  Now that all of that has been established, I am still recovering from such sobering piece of news. What am IContinue reading “Even E.T. will have to change phone plans…”

One of my most prized possessions are my magazines.  Love my magazines.  Maybe it is because they take me to places I may never be able to visit, go into homes that portray places I would have liked to live in, be an inhabitant of beautiful and dreamy gardens, or just plain absorb what people IContinue reading “Letting go…letting go…and more letting go…”

I became a mommy the first day I found out I was pregnant.  Did you notice I said “I”, not “we” as in these days.  The good old days making room for the better newer days.  Officially I was blessed with a vision of my Milagros on November 12, 1979 at 11:58 am.  After a lotContinue reading “Mother’s Day…Have a happy and peaceful day…”

Today it is a beautiful day!!  Sunny, temperature in the mid 50’s right now, sky light blue and lots of clouds for my ever-growing collection.  The perfect day to open the windows and let the old polluted air out and let the new not so polluted yet air in.  Curtains are dancing to the wind,Continue reading “Letting old polluted air out…to let fresh polluted air in…”

 Very often in conversations I have with friends and family, the subject of happiness always comes up.  There are countless books on happiness, there’s a movie with the title of today’s posting, there is a class at Stanford University on this subject also given to students enrolled in business classes, so I have to deductContinue reading “and the pursuit of happiness…”
