Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

  • The simple Mind…

    Watching Jax sit on Papa’s lap this morning watching SquareBob Stretch pants…or whatever it is called…I realized that my husband of 36 years is simple.  I’ve known for many, many years that there is something genuine, calm but with a short fuze but peaceful in his soul.  I used to envy his ability to sit… Read more

  • Four Months

    As I was poking around my scar this morning, I realized that today is the 4 month mark post nephrectomy.  Palpating the skin around my scar has become a weird obsession for me.  Since he mentioned this little ritual to my gorgeous urologist a couple of months ago, I mostly do it in private.  The… Read more

  • Strangulation by tie

    Chuck Todd now hosts a Meet the Press daily show on MSNBC (MTP Daily). I really like Chuck Todd because he is not afraid to ask the difficult questions to the politicians….and during this chapter of my life, I find myself buried in the political BS.  I tend to lean toward the left in my… Read more

  • ..or at least for an hour…we’ll try an hour…I’m realizing I may have an addiction which is causing me to be unproductive.  It’s not really the social media aspect – which I’m actually finding to be monotonous (looks like too many O’s).  But it is my curiosity and my IBOOK and Kindle habit which has… Read more

  • Not so many years ago, I woke up crabby every morning.  Okay…let me start again because I still do. Not so many years ago, when the first thing went wrong in my day…wrong meaning not in line with my planned schedule of how I should feel or what I should do or what happens to… Read more

  • We have renewed the plates on the car and truck for 2 years and longer than that for the trailer…so the only reason I can see going back to the DMV in Cass County will be if we buy a new vehicle.  You can renew on line or in the mail…but 1) I forgot and… Read more

  • Cake!

    Twice baked cake. Seriously! I learned this week that when you understand cooking and baking and have years to perfect the talent, you know nothing is a total loss. The lower oven heating element didn’t work in the house we rented, so when Gena went to cut the spice cake with cream cheese frosting,  the… Read more

  • Footprints….

    I woke up this morning thinking about our last day at Eufala Lake….and then I went a little deeper..I was thinking about this house we rented.    A week of our lives we lived in this house…we laughed, we watched TV, we found our own separate corners and read, we fixed meals, we looked forward… Read more

  • A beautiful day on Lake Eufala

                      Until next time….    Read more

  • APPARENTLY

    During the off-season in Oklahoma (after Labor Day) things change. Not only does the largest and most active marina not rent boats after Labor Day but many shops in Eufala and restaurants along the lake are closed on Monday.  This could easily turn into a rant:    Look at the faces on these people! And… Read more
