How do I know clams are happy?  I don’t know, but they look like they are always smiling.  Now let me start with the posting. I was one happy being this morning when I set out for my walk.  Miss Raylene had a commitment.  So there I go taking my time, admiring nature and itsContinue reading “Happy as a clam…and then 1040’s came into my life…”

This is not one of my pretty pictures.  Some of those later.  During my walk with Miss Raylene this morning, we came up to this sight.  A Queen Anne chair.  The sign said “Free.”  I must admit, it needs some caring, nails, cleaning and some glue.  After some time invested in the improvement of thisContinue reading “Only in the land of plenty…USA…”

  Finally, it has arrived!  I have been waiting with such an excited anticipation.  The calendar says “First Day of Spring.”  Cannot believe it,  I am able to see another first day of Spring. What does it mean?  It is just as any other Sunday?  No way!  This is a special Sunday.  While preparing toContinue reading “First day of Spring…2011”

Without friends what kind of world would we live in?  No birthday parties, no shoulder to cry on, not having a good laugh just from looking at each other and understanding the joke without saying one word…and so on. When God decided on the hierarchy of the human chain, friends was #1, numero uno, theContinue reading “Friend…Amiga…Amigo…Ami”

Dear Muses, I hope this finds you well and very happy wherever you are…because “YOU’RE FIRED!! Now that that’s off my chest, I need to go and get my big old woman’s panties and deal with it.  The inspiration well is totally dried.  I had to resort to my pretend-to-be pears, shown on the pictureContinue reading “Real… or pretending to be…Real”

Written Wednesday, March 16th…  But published on March 17th…Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!  The green background is to get green happy. Last Saturday we had our local public library’s book sale.  I was the coordinator of the special books section, because that’s my specialty.  Now that you have an idea of my section, the first photograph isContinue reading “This business about liking to cook…”

  Tuesday, March 15th… I was watching the news about the disaster in Japan just like everybody else in the world.  One thing that stroke me was the calm attitude of the Japanese people even though they are facing at this time something of apocalyptic proportions. No screaming, no looting, no trying to get the journalistContinue reading “Grace and Resilience when facing incredible adversity…Japan”

Monday, March 14th… I was reading the newspaper this morning with much interest, this was after the delivery person got a call from Main Office, as my newspaper was existing in a black hole, so they called and told this person that the little old lady wanted her paper.  Interrupting my morning routine is not, I repeat, itContinue reading “My personal Black Hole…”

  Sunday, March 13th… Not having changed my clocks last night, this morning around 6:55 am I looked at my electric red burning lighted clock (which by the way, why the color red, to horrify us more yet) and thought, according to the gadget maniac society I live in, right now it’s not 6:55 am,Continue reading “Manipulative…Manipulative…Manipulative…”

Every action has a reaction.  Sometimes I think we are abusing the privilege of being inhabitants of this beautiful place, our home, Planet Earth.  But sometimes I think nature ages just like all of us and during the process it makes some adjustments that have nothing to do with our abuse. I am not going to sayContinue reading “Not much to say…New Zealand then…Japan now…”
