This was going to be a blog about being a rebel….but then I googled Qtip Who knew.  Apparently there is a hip hopper named Qtip.   I have been sticking these things in my ear after a shower for 50 years.  In the beginning we used tooth picks with a squeeze of cotton between the Read more

Apparently I did not get the proper ram rod stick up my spine, reserved, half wave traits of my English ancestors.  Instead perhaps In the womb, I was blessed with the more boisterous, loud belly laugh traits of my Irish ancestors minus the love of beer.  But I do love the word, Wanker!  I love Read more

Moved all of the furniture into my new craft room yesterday.  We can barely walk today although he decided to go out and walk the mower around so his muscles will be stretched and fluid while mine are seized up sitting on the Davenport.  We brought the daybed downstairs so anyone visiting will have a Read more

Families…after knowing his family for nearly 40 years and being a Brown for 37 years, I often still find myself trying to figure out where my place is.  I have participated in the family drama over the years….I’ve reacted with bad attitude as well as been the recipient of what I considered to be hurtful Read more
