I admit I don’t get “into” Valentine’s day much. It is the celebration of a martyr – St. Valentine. It is also the day when flowers and good chocolate are extremely overpriced. I did buy each of the three kids who were here this morning a small heart with chocolate in it. I also sent the… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!
Literally! My youngest, who is a teenager at 13 1/2, is heading to South Carolina from upstate NY with his father. They are going to Myrtle Beach where my ex has relatives. But the real reason for the trip is the Metric Century bike ride associated with the Myrtle Beach Marathon. Here is a recent… Continue reading My “Baby” is Heading South
Yes, Valentine’s Day is still almost a week away. Unfortunately, next weekend is not a possibility for the high school dance as it is the start of a week’s vacation.

I know – I should post first thing in the morning all these thoughts I have on the daily musings. I have been very wrapped up in politics lately and those have been my first, and sometimes second and third, posts of the day. I will try to fix that starting Monday. If you go… Continue reading Simple Abundance – thru Feb 10
Happy Valentine’s Day! In January, I did a challenge utilizing different types of marbling on papers. I marbled these and then stamped and stickered them. Off they go to the college girls!
As I discussed yesterday, there were absences from the Senate floor in the initial vote for the economic stimulus package. The Senate, seeing the flaw in not pretending to help the American people, went back to work immediately and today passed an economic stimulus package.
