I had decided when I started this blog, that I would not discuss politics, and some religion issues.  But today I will make an exception.  Due to the fact that our brothers and sisters in Egypt are going through a change of monumental magnitude, I will say a few words. I was born and raisedContinue reading “An exception…Egypt”

I remember how this my very favorite painting came into our lives.  I had just started a job with a Fortune 500 company in Northern Virginia.  I started the job at the end of March 1984, had gotten married in November 1983, were planning to close on a townhouse in Reston, Virginia in June 1984. Continue reading “Life’s rearview mirror…”

     Written yesterday afternoon. Right now I feel like my brain is floating in my cranium.  (Actually, I just thought, that’s the way it is anyways.)  Cannot hold a thought for too long.  Getting sleepy and emotionless.  Where am I? Just came back from the car dealership.  $33 short of a $1,000 bill.  I kindContinue reading “In the twighlight zone…”

  Let me introduce you to Black Beauty, my workhorse.  It has been at my service since late 2003.  I have treated it right, ie., oil changes, new tires, washing it once in a while, vacuumed it;  so in return, it has taken me to a lot of places and adventures.    I am very grateful whenContinue reading “The workhorse…”

Dear Jesus!  I just had a blank moment!!!!  While searching for this photo, I went to my files, and then…an empty screen with my name on it.  I tried a few times and same thing happened.  I thought, what the heck did I do now?  I know I was messing around yesterday with my ControlContinue reading “Hummmmm…Hummmmm…Hummmmm…”

Do not fear.  Nothing gross, naughty or disgusting.  This one is to remove any thought whatsoever about my belief  of thinking that “I thought I was someone important.” Back in the days when Ron was getting in and out of the hospital due to his illness, one particular day he was getting a CT-Scan andContinue reading “Toilet paper episode…”

Today (Friday) I almost went into a panic episode.  It was almost time to have lunch (I was so into trying to finish the quilt this year) that when I went to pull the stuff out for my lunch my empty stomach had a breakdown.  No enough lettuce for my usual grazing!  That meant thatContinue reading “One of my favorite piece of equipment…”

As you already know, I am watching this soap opera (novela) called “India, A Love Story,”  that takes place in Brazil, Dubai and India.    The following scene was played in yesterday’s episode. The CEO of this big conglomerate (Cadore) is just coming into his office.  His assistant (a man) started talking to him aboutContinue reading “Ego buster…”

  The time was early 90’s in Herndon, Virginia.  As you will notice I am not abbreviating the State of Virginia as VA.  Just to please my word counter nanobeing inside my computer.  Back to the picture.  I remember that day vividly.  I got so claustrophobic inside the house that I put on my coat,Continue reading “Winter has taken over…”

We have the dog days of summer, so I now proclaim the bear days of winter.  Don’t they (bears) hibernate all winter long?  I am ready.  Well…not really.  Have to eat, color my hair, read the newspaper, my precious books, magazines, well, you get the idea. Just remembered a few extra things for this highContinue reading “Lazy day of winter…”
