The weather couldn’t be any better…leaves on the trees are a little disappointing…normally this week at Bennett Spring the leaves on the trees are glorious! I sat around this morning crocheting while he headed to the stream.  Then I walked the mile over to his fishing hole. Couple hot dogs for lunch at Hillbilly Burger Read more

Watching my newest binge TV show…..Velvet….takes place in Madrid, Spain..Spanish TV series with English subtitles.  Beautiful people in the leading rolls…anyway… Sometimes I get so involved in a show that the weather in the background becomes lifelike for me.  Torrential downpours, running through the rain with or without an umbrella, snow storms…..sometimes when I bounce Read more

Every now and then I think it is good to put things into perspective and realize we are just ants on earth.  We are so often caught up in our own lives with our own family and friends and sorrows and joys, WE fail to realize that there is a world of people with the Read more

As opposed to compulsive/obsessive. Or maybe just normal?

I’m making curtains for the craft room tonight…a little side note.  I bought curtains at a big box store for the larger window even though I had planned to find some material and make the curtains myself.  It was something I wanted to do as a first project in my new room.  I was astounded Read more

I have a love/hate relationship with zoos in general.  The National Zoo in Washington, DC impressed me because I didn’t feel like the animals were being held as captive as I’ve seen in other zoos.  Today’s visit to the Kansas City Zoo made me feel even better.  Seems the wild animals have the opportunity for Read more

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
