This is my community center’s inside walking trail.  I went there yesterday morning, around 10:30 am and registered ($5 for a whole year!, I am a resident, big difference), had a nice chat with Miss Linda, the receptionist, and on my way up to the trail, just in a very casual way, I asked her, isContinue reading “My walkabout…”

This morning while I was doing my bed, a thought hit me out of the gray.  The sun was not out yet, so it was still gray.  I had not done any resolutions at all.  But the next second, I went on to realize the routine for my mornings.  Boy, was it difficult to get out of bed. Continue reading “Resolutions…are we there already?”

This was dinner last night.  I took the first bite and I thought, wow! this is the sweetest potato ever I have tasted.  What did they put on the ground?  Then…I remembered, I had put some sliced dates in the stir fry and I was chewing on a piece of date together with the sweet potato. Continue reading “Now you see it…now you don’t”

We buy stuff, we use stuff, we recycle stuff, we store stuff, we give away stuff, etc., etc.  One day inevitably, we must get rid of stuff.  And that day is usually Mondays on most of the communities in our cities.  It feels good to see that stuff go.  I remember, it must have beenContinue reading “Le garbage…having a good time in Happyville…”

Bought this new inexpensive (cheap) camera, not necessarily a bad one.  I am very pleased with the results, but oh my, couldn’t find anywhere the above picture, you know, getting used to a new brain challenge so early in the morning, and it happens later in the afternoon too, can take a toll on myContinue reading “What goes up…must come down…”

As you can see, I don’t have any problems receiving a new year by myself.  I am a happy person with a great life.  First I am so grateful for my incredible journey, the fascinating people who have populated my universe, and I look forward to new arrivals and figuring out how all is going toContinue reading “Great Expectations…2011”

  During my trip to visit my daughter last week in D.C., I was admiring the fresh roses my daughter had in her mini-kitchen and also in the mini-bathroom.  First I thought they were silk flowers and asked my daughter where did she get them.  They looked so pretty.  She looked at me and said: Continue reading “Sometimes you forget…”

The Winter of our Discontent…have not read the book, but the title seems fitting to the way I used to feel about winter.  Do not like the cold weather, but because I am forced to be at this stop of my journey right now, I am looking for the good things this stop and seasonContinue reading “Why we need winter…”

I needed to read the subject matter a few times this morning.  One of those days, pondering what in the world I am going to write about.  And then after having my new, but still healthy breakfast (plantains with one boiled egg), and feeling stuffed, I decided to have half a plantain tomorrow.  Too much ofContinue reading “Happy Everything…”

It is good to be back!  Some many things to write about, but I’ll stick to the basics.  You know, of course, that I had a grand time with my daughter, her boyfriend and his family.  Eating and etc., etc.  Yes, nice gifts for all and vice-versa.  Happyville is in a bliss indeed. Now, theContinue reading “City Daughter…Country mama and D.C.”
