A very dear friend invited me for a Sunday afternoon fashion show in a bedroom community of Orlando.  It was labelled as a Fall Fashion Show. Very lovely crowd, chicken salad in a croissant with romaine lettuce and fruit salad on the side was the delicious lunch.  Sweet or unsweetened tea or lemonade.  Lots of doorContinue reading ““Fall Fashion Show”…in Florida”

Let me introduce you to my new kitchen gadget.  My new convection oven.  I see myself having so many tasty meals.  It looks good,  doesn’t it. First, have to clean it and read the manual.  So the first meal probably will be cooked the week after next.  I ordered it last Sunday afternoon, so whenContinue reading “My new toy…I feel like Christmas has already arrived…from moi to moi…”

Everyday I am given suggestions from my blog host on how to increase my audience. And my thinking is…I don’t need a bigger audience than the one I have.  I like what I have and why is this constant need in our planet to have more and more. In my case, I write for theContinue reading “I am very happy with my limited audience…”

Or I don’t know how the outcome will change or affect my life.  Or I just tell myself, not now…I am not ready…the pieces are not in place.  Ha!  That’s a good one. Wow!  That’s a powerful question.  Most of the time we are on denial, and tell ourselves that  we are afraid of nothing. Continue reading “What am I afraid of doing..just because I may fail…”

I was watching a show about these two designers…their works of art have been shown in  very famous museums in the United States and around the world. In the conversation they were asked to define art per se.  She said, spirit, and he said vision.  But one phrase stood out more than anything else duringContinue reading “Without discipline…nothing happens…nothing gets accomplished…”

Are you out there a bit like me?  I always have this need to be doing something, otherwise, if I rest for long, I feel guilty.  Where the heck did that come from? My father was as easy-going as a turtle in a hurry and my mother, ah!  that’s where it comes from.  Somehow nowContinue reading “The fastidious need to have to be doing something all the time…”

What kind of writer am I? I asked myself that question while reading a book about Rachel Carson, known as the patron saint of the environmental movement.  She wrote about our connection to nature.  So, I thought…what in the world do I write about all the time. Then I said to myself…no cat or dogContinue reading “I write…I write…I type…I type…”

Sometimes you feel that some people are larger than life…of course, no one is…but this morning I just found out that Steve Jobs has passed away, and it felt as if he was. I never met the man, don’t even have one of his products, but somehow tears just keep flowing, I really cannot explainContinue reading “In Honor to the Appleman…”

I always have a choice…do I approach anything in my life, even if it is a pain in le derriere,  with grace or just be a nasty, disgusting being. After 62+ years, I think the choice is obvious.  It is 100% better for me to go with the Pollyanna approach.  Stick it to others and let themContinue reading “Good mood…bad mood…let’s see…which is better for my sanity…”

It is that time of the year whereby in Florida we can leave the doors and windows open without feeling that we are in a sauna.  I took the opportunity to spray for bugs also, so the fumes could escape to the outdoors. I locked my screen doors, because the fear of having unwanted andContinue reading “Open doors in Florida without having to sweat as in a sauna…”
