This is so cool…it totally released all the stress that was trying to creep into my always balanced and happy life. I was watching this afternoon a show on what else, happiness.  Even Harvard is now getting it.  And guess what, everybody has an opinion on happiness.  Some “experts”, and they really looked so seriousContinue reading “Making the decision…not to make a decision…”

These three were going about their daily gossip when I was watching them from my kitchen.  “So…what’s the deal for today?  I don’t know yet.  Have you done your research on Google to find a house in that very hot State?  Have you started packing yet?  You are looking a bit frazzled today.  What’s upContinue reading “Thelma, Louise and Me…”

The neurons are really on vacation today.  Or maybe they are overwhelmed with so much we have to do.  Got a contract on the house…now the reality show goes on the road. Where am I going to live, when to go to find a place, when to move, legal technicalities, no time to think cuteContinue reading “Plastic or…paper…post…or no post…”

This past Saturday I attended a beautiful wedding ceremony at the Duke’s Chapel in Durham, North Carolina. You know about weddings…everybody look so pretty or handsome, best behavior on the moment, all smiles, hello, and more hello.  The music was very touching, not a note out-of-place, instruments all sounded just harmonious, and then…here comes theContinue reading “Wedding vows…for better or …much better…for richer or…wealthier…”

Welcome back to the 80’s!  Let start at the beginning… My lovely and gorgeous daughter, Milagros, just invited me to be her date to attend a wedding in, here we go again, Durham, North Carolina.  Wasn’t I just there last Saturday?  Durham it is.  The young lady that is getting married attended the same schoolContinue reading “A Weekend Changer…”

No…it is not “that” time of the month for me…I am 62 1/2…it is the other time of the month.  The real time, if you ask me.  No cramps, no mood swings, no supplies, no pms, no nothing.  Just the now you see it, now you don’t syndrome.  I mean, in comes the money, out goes theContinue reading “It’s that time of the month…and Endeavour’s final landing…”

This is really getting old…the sale of my house…I mean.  Today I had another “showing.”  I don’t know how many dirty feet and shoes have left their imprints on my carpet.  As you can tell, I am getting a bit frustrated with this process. Why wouldn’t someone just take this lovely home away from me? Continue reading “The dog and pony show…”

Back in the Summer of 2009, when I was getting my wardrobe ready for my dream trip of 46 years to Paris, France, I was in a store, and passing by this dress, it called my attention.  It was on the sale rack, so that made it more appealing.  I went quickly to try itContinue reading “The Look…that never materialized…the teller of the truth…”

Who is a Patriot? Someone who is unselfish. Someone who puts his or her life at risk for the sake of others, it doesn’t matter who they may be. Someone who looks out for the welfare of the others in his or her unit. Someone who gives strength to others even when he or sheContinue reading “Who is a Patriot?…Memorial Day…2011”

One day this week I was watching the news and there was a segment about the cost of education.  This particular father had attended an Ivy League school and he was stating that he didn’t think it was worth it for his daughter to attend college, because the high cost of education.  The saddest partContinue reading “If you think education is expensive…try ignorance…To go to college or not…”
