My city-daughter has always been fearless and very daring.  I have learned so much more about life and how to go or not go about things from her.  Where do I start? Her name is Milagros, which means miracle.  That’s what she was.  Back when I used to live in the U.S. Virgin Islands, my doctorContinue reading “My other fearless leader…My City daughter…”

You will never look at your hair the same way again after you finish reading this post. Am happy with my hair?  Somehow, it depends on the feedback I get from the mirror.  I cannot ignore it, because it is one of the first things I look at in the morning.  Have a big, bigContinue reading “It’s a hair thing…”

This gift from above I relish every day that the clouds allow it to come through and bathe me with its benefits.  Vitamin D, a tanned skin (during the winter that is not that easy to come by, unless you go and insert yourself in one of those plastic coffins). Let me continue listing the joys ofContinue reading “My sunbeam…”

Before it is too late and I don’t find the time, North Carolina here’s to you for giving me memories that will last the rest of my lifetime. Your beautiful sunrises, your unforgettable sunsets, your beautiful mountains and so soft sandy beaches, will make me remember you for an eternity.  Thank you for being such aContinue reading “Ode to North Carolina…”

This morning while reading my latest issue of Victoria Magazine, there was a quote by Thoreau that goes like this…”Live the life you have imagined.”   Wow, that is a tall and humongous task.  First I have to find out how I have imagined my life for this stage of my journey.  One thing I know,Continue reading “Live the life you have imagined…”

It is getting harder and harder to find part-time/temporary muses.  I have been on the road since yesterday looking for some hint, but nada, zip, zero.  To my know-it-all audience, do you know of any place were there might be some available. Some of the most appreciative ones have called from the Florida Keys, sayingContinue reading “On the road again…”

  December 15, 1949 – January 19, 2009 Alba Maria was the closest person I had on this planet until she went back home on January 19, 2009.  She was my fearless leader, even though I was one year older.  She went through all the growing up processes before I did, so she was theContinue reading “Alba Maria, my fearless leader…”

Well, another surprise just happened.  This image, the one above went from my ccc to my computer in no time.  I thought, what the heck is going on here.  Let me explain. Yesterday I sent out some emails with some photos I had taken with my ccc (cheap, chic camera).  The emails along with the picturesContinue reading “Megapixels, emails, and still in a black hole…”

Super, super good and just right hot chili!  Last Saturday night Raylene and Richard invited me over for chili, and I am always ready for Richard’s chili.    It was Ron’s favorite also.  This time it was a bit spicy hot, which was just perfect for the cold season we are processing.  I had my ccc (forContinue reading “Great comfort food, great company…”

I bought this bumper sticker on a weekend at the Outer Banks, North Carolina.  The foursome was Raylene, Richard, Ron and self.  (noticed the three R’s?)  I just noticed myself.  I buy a lot of bumper stickers, but I use them to display in my house where I think I can get the message andContinue reading “Before the last curtain call…”
