I’ve been really tired lately and most of it is self-induced. I “discovered” Facebook about a month ago. Now, when I say I “discovered” Facebook, it does not mean I did not know it existed until a month ago (if that were the case it would be quite a large and distant rock I had [...]

God, I can’t believe it’s August already. Where has the time gone. Munchkin is back in school, 6th grade. A big fish this year. Hopefully he’ll take to it well. Anyhoo… here is the calendar page for this month. Look at me getting it out on time. Amazing! (Gotta love the pre-scheduling feature!)  This is [...]

In the spirit of catching up, here are some pictures from Mother’s Day. It was a great day, with a fantastic brunch at the Blue Ridge Grill… (Hubby will be reviewing the restaurant at his site.) We split an ice cream sundae at Jumpin’ Java. Big enough for 4!!! Then munchkin and I went kite [...]

Boy, I have a lot to catch up on!!! The Munchkin had an Honors Chorus concert a couple of weeks ago. I remember those days, my parents lugging me and my flute and music to a college or concert hall somewhere to practice with kids from all over. They had to find something to do for [...]

Here are a couple of pictures of our damage. Not nearly as bad as it could have been. Luckily no one was seriously injured in the storms. Sometimes wind can be a little scary.     

No, not the game or the movie. Real life! An F1 twister came through our town Monday evening. Luckily no one was hurt, but we did get the daylights scared out of us. Unfortunately we didn’t come through completely unscathed. Our deck was pounced on by the top part of a 60 foot pine tree [...]

So today was the day of my first mammogram.  It wasn’t so bad… if you don’t mind your breasts being squashed to pancakes. I’m STILL sore! The nice lady tells you, “It won’t be that bad, it isn’t as bad as people say.” Well, I guess it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. [...]

Well, we’ve had a new dog since early February. His name is Gus and he’s a Chow-Lab mix. Boy, those labs get around… most mutts these days seem to be some kind of lab mix.  Gus is about a year old now, at least we think he is. He still acts so much like a [...]

I haven’t been able to visit here nearly as much as I had hoped. I will get here and add my February calendar page and a few pictures tomorrow. To those who have asked, my father is doing much better than I expected. Don’t get me wrong, I knew the surgery would be a grand [...]

Don’t know how much posting will get done over the next week or so. I have so much to get up and don’t know where to start. Still have pics to share and things I’m working on. I also want to tinker more with this blog, finish Ron’s site and blog and work on Claddagh [...]
