The Impossible Position

My daughter, mostly but some of my other kids too, played soccer for a long time with a local soccer association. When I had the ability and they were short on officers for the board of directors, I decided to volunteer for a one year stint. I was figuring they may need a secretary or… Continue reading The Impossible Position

Spring and Summer Arrive Together

Okay, temperatures were summerlike yesterday. I was in, as I said, shorts and a sleeveless shirt. I had a great time at my son’s tennis match as it was so beautiful out. I opened windows – that I had washed on Saturday – and there is where the beauty ends. I left the windows open… Continue reading Spring and Summer Arrive Together

Summer Planning

  Wow! It is finally warm here. I have on shorts and a sleeveless shirt and am not cold. So my mind is turning to summer. It may approach 80F here and that is definitely summer temps. This is going to be a different summer for me personally. Normally, summer seems rushed and cramped. My… Continue reading Summer Planning

Dating ….

Okay, I don’t remember dating being this hard previously in my life. Maybe that’s because life is so much more simple when you are 16. Now, I have work and family and the family schedule to deal with so it is much harder. I finally asked this guy I have been communicating with if he… Continue reading Dating ….

Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!

Thankfully for you, you are not where you can hear me singing that out loud! I woke up this morning, on my own, well before my alarm was set to go off. It is absolutely beautiful out today! The sun is shining. It is 7 am and it is already 45F out (not a big… Continue reading Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!

Conflict, Conflict, Conflict (tongue in cheek, of course)

  I just can’t decide. I watch horse racing once a year – the first Saturday in May. I pretend to be Mexican once a year – the fifth of May. The big dilemma is which do I plan for in my menu/libation planning for tomorrow. I was just about set to get some mint… Continue reading Conflict, Conflict, Conflict (tongue in cheek, of course)

A Day in the Life

  What a great idea! Not a verbal blogging, but a pictorial blogging of a day in the life of the photographer. I am sure this has been done for the famous and for the professional photographer but Yahoo 360 is promoting it for the average 360 user. Take pics of a day in your… Continue reading A Day in the Life

Photo Pending for Online Dating Site

Normally, I blog here and copy it to Cupid.com where I have a profile. Today, I did it backwards. Below is my blog from Cupid and I am having Yahoo! photo issues so the pic won’t show up. I am sure my soon-to-be 19 year old daughter is going to freak out. How do I… Continue reading Photo Pending for Online Dating Site

Happy May Day!

  It’s just another memory from my past. I am talking about May Day. In my neighborhood, we use to take old wallpaper sample books. We would pick the papers we loved and make baskets out of them. Then, we would either pick “flowers,” like dandelions or other things that grow in yards that the… Continue reading Happy May Day!

My spring dose of ….

… soccer. It use to be that I thought of March Madness as the start of the travel soccer season. That ended this year as my soccer-playing daughter is in college. So today, in what may be promising to be a nice spring day, I get my spring dose of soccer. Susan’s new college team… Continue reading My spring dose of ….
