On the Road …. Yet Again

It is beautiful outside – already 60F which is unusual for this time of year where I live. I am on my way…. to Niagara Falls. It is one of my favorite road trips and I make it about 12 times a year. I am heading to Lewiston and Niagara Falls to pick up my… Continue reading On the Road …. Yet Again

On the Road Again

My spring road trips have been few and far between for me. Normally, spring consists of trips every weekend. This year, there have been three so far. There was the March trip to Niagara Falls for my daughter’s first honor society induction. This was a quick day trip. There was the weekend trip to New… Continue reading On the Road Again

A Task I Dread

I say I dread this and, in some ways, I do but it is a necessity. I have to go shopping. I am looking for a dress to wear to a retirement party to be held at a country club. That is a bit more “dressiness” than my normal clothing is but it is okay… Continue reading A Task I Dread

A Constant Planner

I admit that I am a planner. I don’t mind being spontaneous but I like to know that my contingencies have been covered. I am the woman who could have written the government’s ready site for them. I am not a naysayer but I do like knowing who is where when something happens. That would… Continue reading A Constant Planner

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

Commentary on College Life

I was watching The Early Show this morning on CBS. It tends to normally be more fluff than news so I don’t feel that it is a bad way to start the morning as my 12 year old is getting ready for school. Recently, Lou Dobbs – who has a show on CNN – has… Continue reading Commentary on College Life
