Wow!  My lovely daughter called me earlier this afternoon to tell me that it was snowing in the Washington, D.C., and the Northern Virginia area. Here in Central Florida, the temperature dropped early this afternoon little by little, and right now is probably low 70’s.  Yes, I know…I have it really good.  It depends, though…don’tContinue reading “Let it snow…let it rain…let it get cold…”

Each one of us has a favorite space in our home.  For some people, it is their bed, their sun room, their studio, their living room and so on.  Even for some of us, their nice and cozy bathroom. As for me, this is my favorite space.  It is an old chair, probably twenty-five years old and itContinue reading “My favorite space…in my home…”

Recently the stuff around my only fan is hitting it at incredible speed.  I am keeping calm, serene, and positive. When I get up in the morning, I am already ducking and walking on four instead of two, so the stuff constantly hitting the fan, with no break whatsoever, just does not hit me soContinue reading “The stuff…and the fan…”

Today is a big day for me…I am putting myself through a big test…cannot think of anything to write about…have written about my laundry, my meals, my birthday, my recycling bin, my hair, my lovely daughter, my friends, my karma, my moods, my toilets, wow!  Is there anything left to talk about? Well, the universeContinue reading “The lemon, el limon, le citron…”

And here it is…a new love in my life.  The molecular dog.  I think it is so cute! My lovely daughter and I were visiting this other side of town, new to me, and found a full array of very interesting shops, restaurants, a lovely park and a community center.  Went into the restaurant, which weContinue reading “New to me…a very ecletic neighborhood within my neighborhood…”

All that starts, has to come to an end.  The era of my 63rd birthday celebration has come to a complete halt.  Screeching halt. Now it is the 63+ period.  Does it feel any different?  Right now, after the “not allowed” glass of wine and a good turkey sandwich, yes, the vegan discipline took aContinue reading “All that starts well…ends very well…now it is the 63+ adventure…”

I make a big deal out of being able to say “I am sixty-three years old.”  That’s six decades plus three years.  A humongous accomplishment! I feel such a fortunate woman.  I have always been surrounded by beautiful and wonderful people.  Have been in love a few times, always had a ball in the placeContinue reading “My big deal…today is my 63rd birthday…and counting…”

I was making plans for a lunch birthday celebration on the 21st.  I will reach the tender age of six decades plus three monsoons. Had settled for a nice Caribbean lunch with a very dear friend.  Just now, checking my emails, I received one from my lovely daughter and the subject was “Happy Birthday.”  I thought,Continue reading “Surprise!!!!!!!! Let the festivities for the 63rd begin…”

One of the reasons why I moved South was due to the cold weather.  Look at this week’s weather for my area. Some 90% possibility of rain for today, but as of 4:25 p.m., only a lick of water.  Probably the areas where water is not needed, they are getting it all. Good, or mayContinue reading “Weather…cannot complain…”

Some of my friends are going through rough times at this moment.  It seems that whenever I talk with whomever, there is always a challenge they are meeting.  Sometimes the challenge is mine to face. That’s pretty “fuerte” (strong).  I have to admit that most of the time my beautiful circle of friends and I have to face theContinue reading “Our beautiful support system…”
