The time of year has come to turn the page, put up a new calendar and decide how you are going to change your life in the new year, the new decade. This time of year means that I am again going to explain why I write down aspirations, not resolutions. Resolution is defined as… Continue reading Resolutions vs. Aspirations
A continued look back in time via photos. I do not recall why but there are no Christmas morning pictures.
Again, I am posting images from Christmases past – this time just a few short years ago when only one child was off at college and two were preparing to leave soon.
I swore I never understood women wearing a thong. That was many years, and some where around sixty pounds, ago. Nowadays, at the ripe age of being closer to 50 than to 40, I have discovered the lace thong. It has become one of my absolutely favorite pieces of undergarments.

This year, for whatever reason, I have not decorated as I would normally. Things are slow to get… Continue reading Holiday Decorating
