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…”

This morning I had to get up at 6:00 am because I had an appointment with my eye doctor at 8:00 am.  By now, you must have an idea of how I did look like, but I did my best to look presentable.  Washed and set my hair, jean jacket, etc., everything men and women doContinue reading ““You look like you’re 32…””

 I have been trying now for over an hour to “share” the video of the shuttle Discovery’s  last touch down, a historical one may I say, because this was its final voyage.  Let me be more specific, I was trying to “share” from NASA’s website the landing of Discovery, with my friends on Facebook.  NoContinue reading “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again…”

 Frankly, today I had my doubts about coming up with anything at all to talk to you about.  That thought has crossed my mind many times.  It is an ugly and scary thought.  But here we go. Yesterday, when I was getting ready to cut what is my daily intake of an apple or a pear to putContinue reading “Here and there and everywhere today…”

It is not how long I live, but what I do with the time I have while I have it. This morning I was reading in my local newspaper a lovely, and sad story of an eight year-old-sweet girl who died recently of a brain tumor.  What caused to make an impression on me, and one that I willContinue reading “I have everything I want…”

Dreams, plans, money, friendships, relationships, plans for the day…etc., etc.  You name it, most of the things in our lives have a possibility of eventually going down the drain.  Mine has some coffee stains, but it shows that at least I use it.  Life might as well be like my sink, with some stains here andContinue reading “Down the drain…”
