Bags are still packed, full of dirty clothes; the mail is piled up on the kitchen counter; the weeds have taken over all the gardens…sure sign of the return from a week’s vacation. We managed to make the bed before we fell into it…a good sleep, the first night home in our own bed with […]
I love vacation…
Our week has started off beautifully. We picked up the b-i-l and s-i-l at the airport Saturday (they flew New Zealand to LA to New Orleans to Mexico City to Dulles to Maine, with a few days here and there before arriving in Maine)…it is always so good to see them and to listen to […]
What a week…
My theater group chose the one-act play I directed, When Shakespeare’s Ladies Meet, to represent us at our annual drama festival last weekend. Hubby was working in TX, son was riding his bike up mountains in Vermont, so I took advantage and spent the whole festival weekend (Friday night through Sunday night) in a beautiful […]

Tid bits…
I weeded on and off for three days. While it looks much better, it only served to reinforce how much work it is to have pristine gardens. Thank goodness I am not a pristine garden kinda person. But I DO love to sit on the ground and weed weed weed. I hate ticks. We are […]
Another first…
Yawnnnnnn…having trouble getting my mental motor up and running this Monday morning. I feel as if I haven’t had a chance to dump all the details out of my brain and get them under control in a while and that has me very out-of-focus. I need to take a breath. Maybe tonight? We’ll see. I […]
All right, I’m a sucker…
Ever since my daughter got married, I am a sucker for wedding photos. As I flip through someone’s wedding photos, I am transported back to the blissful feelings surrounding my daughter’s wedding. This last weekend, it was Jenna Bush’s wedding photos that started it for me. However one feels about the current President, it was […]
Cats
I have always been a cat person. I grew up with dogs and cats and I tolerate dogs. But I AM a cat lover. Every cat I have ever owned (although, admit it, who really ever owns a cat?) has come wired with certain personality traits. My very best cat ever was Missy, a blue […]
Why blog?
A friend of mine was really surprised when I told her that I blog. To her, blogging is a very self-centered thing; she can’t understand why anyone would think that what he or she said would be interesting or meaningful to anyone else. I actually agree with that, in a way. BUT, and there is […]
Carpooling
One and my friends and I happen to work in the same town about a half hour from home. I have on a few occasions taken her to and from work, on days when her husband needs her car. She emailed me last night to ask if I wanted to carpool on a regular basis, […]
