I remember when Ron used to get all excited because he was going to his favorite place in the whole world.  The hardware store.  I could never comprehend how he would go in there and spend a long time just going through the aisles and then coming out with just a few items. Now IContinue reading “A good high…a visit to the hardware store…hurray!!!”

Sorry.  Not a pretty picture to start with.  But this will help to illustrate my experience of early today.  One of the tasks I wanted to accomplish before closing on the house was to have the air conditioner unit serviced.  I dreaded doing this and kept on postponing it until almost the last moment.  Why? Continue reading “And the verdict is…”

5,012, last count of views and 179 postings.  Merci beaucoup, muchas gracias, thank you very much. Now to the business of the title of the posting.  Probably you are thinking, what does a garbage truck has to do with gratitude?  A lot may I say so.  Let me explain. I am in the process of moving toContinue reading “The business of gratitute…”

The good thing about going out to eat is that you don’t know what to expect.  Some people’s or expert’s judgement about good food is not necessarily one you may think you are going to agree with them 100%. I was invited by good friends in my neighborhood to a North Carolina landmark and oneContinue reading “Eating good in the neighborhood…”

Have you noticed that fruits and vegetables do not need a label with ingredients, % of this or % of that?  The only ingredients are, oxygen, water, and sunlight.  A magic brew and voila, the miracle of nature and our Creator.  The best color coordination and best tasting nature has to offer. Cutting this cantaloupeContinue reading “Only the natural and best ingredients…”

I bought this fried (yes, I know…not so good for my precious arteries) piece of chicken breast, to shred it and insert it in my delicious soon to be lunch salad.  But, surprise!  the piece of meat looked so diminutive that I was kind of disappointed.  I even surprised myself at my reaction.  You knowContinue reading “The chicken…and or the hormones…”

Sometimes even the best planned events or occasions in our lives can be met with one challenge or another.  I am in the initial stages of moving to another place, where I think…remember this…I think the grass will be greener.  But  also realize that greener grass takes a lot of fertilizer, lots of water, evenContinue reading “Que sera, sera…Whatever will be, will be…”

This was a quote from an article in this morning’s paper describing this generous-to- humanity woman who has gone on to her next journey. Just like that bumble bee I captured this morning on a Rose of Sharon.  There she was, Miss cute bumble bee going about her business of doing her part in the very elaborateContinue reading ““…has always been able to take nothing and make something out of it.””

In my last posting I came across as being a tad depressed.  We must remember about the Harvard “expert” in happiness that stated that if you don’t have any lows in life, you are either a psychopath or you are dead.  So I decided in my last posting to take my dose of low for theContinue reading “Me and my beautiful life…”

Ok.  This is an update to let y’all know that I am not depressed right now.  The post below was the drama queen in me that came out to express herself.  Read with lots of sugar and honey in your intelligent minds.  Thank you! Life is like a box of chocolate, someone said in aContinue reading “Thought I had it…but now I don’t…life saga continues…”
