Stressed to the max!  I was a happy camper listening to Christmas music, and decorating and decided to take a break…then .I saw my blog and noticed it was snowing on the blog!  With a picture of a Thanksgiving memory.  The Christmas music had to come to a complete stop, because I couldn’t deal withContinue reading “Jeepers!!!! Christmas is in the House…my House…”

Looking back in life is most of the time a great thing.  We can always learn from our story.  I was cleaning my picture files on my computer, when I came across this picture.  Instead of me interpreting it as a sad memory, it triggered in me a retrospective of how far I have becomeContinue reading “First solo Thanksgiving in Florida 2011…by choice…”

The center of our Universe!  She is that magical essence that when I think of her, it brings a smile to my face that I cannot describe.  It is so much love, tenderness and at the same time my heart is swollen with so much gratitude. Yes, she has both socks on.  I was checkingContinue reading “Here she is! My precious Nietecita…Juliette Isabelle…”

I have some free time between now that I am listening to my favorite playlist and going to exercise class at 11:30 am.  Then I thought, after preparing my salad for when I come back home, very hungry, at least I will have something waiting for me to launch at. Romaine lettuce, spinach, one apple,Continue reading “What to write about when you have nothing to write about…”

It happened!  My priorities, and my whole universe have been shaken to the ground.  I am a grandmother!  Abuelita in Spanish.  That’s how Juliette Isabelle will be calling me. I am so in love with my nietecita (grand-baby).  When I have a recent photo of the two of us, I will share.  The first thingContinue reading “There’s a new queen in my castle…it’s not me anymore…”

Life is just like a camera, but with a modern twist.  The cameras now have a count of megapixels.  The more the megapixels the more the details.  Is that a good thing or a not such a good thing.  It depends.  Let me explain…Megapixels are the little extra terrestrials inside the camera that decide howContinue reading “Megapixels…how many…again?”

Even when we become adults, our limitations continue and we keep on living theContinue reading “It’s ok to re-write your story…”

This is all new to me…my host site has changed my whole format…my day was going perfectly fine until right now! It is Friday, so I do my exercise class every Friday, and I was feeling groovy when I left the house, you know, I felt totally with it.  Whatever “it” is.  It is like whenContinue reading “Like a little dolly on the walking trail…”

Ta ra!  Checked out of the list…yes, I have an ongoing list of things I want to do, dreams I want to see become reality (some of them date back to my childhood), conversations to deal with, in other words, put the period at the end of the sentence.  That sentence will be coming forContinue reading “Such Masterpieces…My Masterpieces…”
