Back – But Not 100%

Despite the few blogs I had scheduled to be published, I really only got to jump on here to blog a couple times over the past few weeks because of Covid. So I figured I would fill you in on what's been happening ... Daddy Daughter Pirate Adventure Prior to my Covid diagnosis, I was … Continue reading Back – But Not 100% →

It Still Ain’t Flat!

Remember when all it was going to take was two weeks to "flatten the curve?" A mere 14 days.... This is not meant to be political or start an argument or debate. It is just an observation that I wanted to write about. I don't want your political opinions and I don't want debates or … Continue reading It Still Ain’t Flat! →

We Need A Little Happy…

Let's face it, 2020 has kinda been a crappy year. As it draws to a close, many of us will be glad to see it go!

Halfway to 100 …

I received my invitation to join the AARP early last week. A week earlier the letter from the Secretary of State telling me my plates were about to expire came in the mail.

Quarantine Chrysalis

I woke up this morning with the intention of writing a blog.  Not this blog, but another one.  I have my little "blog thoughts" notebook with the things I am going to write about, however, as I sat down with my cup of coffee a thought hit me.  That thought is what you are about … Continue reading Quarantine Chrysalis →

“Hello Again, Hello …”

Long time ... no blog Hello, my friend.  Sorry I have been away for a bit.  My last blog led to many friends on Facebook reaching out to see if I was okay.  I wasn't.  When I wrote that blog, I obviously was a bit frazzled, but had yet to reach my breaking point.  That … Continue reading “Hello Again, Hello …” →

Saturday Songs

This is the first of at least two blogs today.  I chose to write this one first.  Amidst all of the chaos in the world, I was reminded of a song that I often turned to when things in my life were less than stellar.  Michael Buble' has been doing video messages on his Instagram … Continue reading Saturday Songs →
