Procrastination
Boy! oh Boy! I have turned into a real procrastinator these days. I just don’t want to do anything!
I should have already gotten our tax paper work to the accountant by now and I haven’t.
I should have cleaned my floors last week, but I haven’t.
I need to start spring cleaning and haven’t done that either.
We have too much stuff accumulated in the closets and...

Why Do Our Lives Turn Out the Way They Do?
I have been thinking about this often as of late, Why Do Our Lives Turn Out the Way They Do?.
What got it all started was, I have two friends, one I have known most of my life and the other I went to high school with, but we didn’t meet until a class reunion about 3 years ago.
The one I have known most of my life is divorced with 5 adult children and a number of grandchildren. She has...

What do I want to be when I grow up?
That is a really good question!
I am 50 years old and still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up (career wise). I haven’t the slightest idea. After I graduated High School (early) I just wanted to get married to my husband and be out on our own.
In the early 1990’s after my daughter went to elementary school, I thought I would go check out the local junior college, so I...
Resolutions.............
I have never made a new years resolution, have you? How many people really keep their new years resolutions? Most people that I have known don’t stick to them for too long. Is it because they set the bar too high or is it something that they truly don’t want to give up? Why do people decide to set the ones that they do?
Things that make you go Hum!

Too much thinkin' going on!
Man oh man! My brain has been whirling with partial ideas and thoughts. It is so frustrating because first of all I have no idea where to start to get them out of my brain and everything seems to not be complete. If that makes any sense.
Incomplete thoughts really drive me nuts. I can be so anal about things like that. I’m not one to leave things half done and...

"What colors make orange?"
The other night my husband went to bed early. I stayed up for about an hour with the dogs because it was too early for them to go to bed. I got the dogs in their crates and crawled into bed as quiet as I could. As soon as I got settled in I hear him say “What colors make orange?”. Thinking that he was dreaming I quietly repeated what he said. I wanted...

Mystery Bruises..............
This evening when I showered and went to shave my legs and low and behold there was a nasty black bruise about the size of a quarter by my knee! When did that happen? How come I can’t remember it happened? It must have hurt when it happened, right?
In the past I have talked with friends and they all talk about having “mystery bruises” and don’t remember how they happened.

Wedding Day
My only child got married a week ago to her best friend. It was a beautiful day!
Times have changed since I got married over 31 years ago. When I got married I did all the leg work and planning myself, there were no wedding planners that I knew of back then. I checked with my Mom about different things and we went to check out the halls (now called a venue) and picked out the meal and other...

Family Reunion
Last week my husband and I traveled back to our home town. The main reason for the trip was my family reunion, my Dad’s side of the family. Earlier in the year my Uncle Paul (Dad’s youngest & last living brother) was killed in a small plane crash. The accident made national headlines. Because of the loss of my uncle my cousin decided to have a family reunion at her home like she...

Memorial Day Thoughts
Yesterday was Memorial Day, the day we set a side here in the US to remember the military members that have served our country so that we can have the freedoms that we are allowed here.
I thought about my Dad yesterday. His parents immigrated to the US, the “Free World” from Italy back in the early 1900’s. They did not speak the language and arrived on...

Me a Blogger?
I have wanted to write something on here daily or weekly. Well, I haven’t done so well with the daily and the weekly has turned into almost two weeks. If I blogged monthly…that would probably mean bi-monthly or turn into maybe yearly. I am just not very disciplined especially with writing. Because I am such a thinker it usually takes me longer to get things written down. I over think...

Sewing..........
Well, today I made two dog blankets for our two Whippet puppies. When I say “made” I mean that I bought 2 yards of blue and 2 yards of yellow fleece fabric, then I pinned and sewed the edges with the sewing machine. I dislike sewing, My Mom was a brilliant seamstress and quilt maker. She could sew for hours and make anything, even without a pattern. Me on the other hand I find it...
