WANTED — Alive and Well
Yes, if I am wanted for anything, please make it while I’m still kickin’! Several years ago in my 55+ community in Tulsa, we had a Western-themed get-together. What a fun night we had! I loved the party-planners’ ideas for fun – particularly as I walked the halls of the community center and saw WANTED…
Happy July 4th — We are Free Because of Thee
Happy Birthday, America! Today, we celebrate the freedom that we take for granted on most days. Many have sacrificed their lives for this country so the rest of us can rest each night — safe and fairly certain of what tomorrow will bring. I don’t want this blog today to just be a casual reminder,…
Twas the Day Before Independence Day
My little apartment-entry display and the flags on my patio are minuscule tributes to the true meaning of tomorrow’s celebration of Independence Day. It took me a mere shopping spree and the time it took to display them. Nothing to compare to the high price our forefathers paid for our freedom and independence. Three years…
In My Presence — In His Presence
I’m on Bentley (grand-dog) duty again so inspiration comes for another blog. This one came easily. He can’t see, but his hearing and smelling are super sharp. And, oh, how he loves my touch, my scratching his tummy, my closeness. So, he knows where I am at any given moment. And if a door comes…
The Star Spangled Skies
It is July 1st and of course July 4th, Independence Day, is just a few days away. I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free. The only time I have ever considered using the words “star spangled skies” was as I proudly sung our country’s national anthem, “The Star Spangled…
Turn on that Lamp!
I looked a while before I found these lamps. What set them apart from all the others I had seen, was not only did they have a lamp on the outside, but they also had a lamp on the inside which makes a great night light. Score! I enjoy these lamps that brighten a dark…
Character Matters
I couldn’t pass by the display in the middle of the aisle. After all, the fingernail polish was priced 75% off. Two bottles ended up in the child carrier area of my basket. I paid for my basket full of groceries, unloaded my groceries into my car, grabbed my purse and then…I see that nail…
Raising the Bar
No, in the case of this first photo, they kept lowering the bar when we were doing the limbo at our “Senior” Prom last week. What a fun time we had. But this blog is about raising the bar. I’m excited that our world has opened back up and the 2021 Olympics will be played…
That Little Girl is Me
It’s June and I’m about to talk about Santa – that merry old soul who always has his arms outstretched to the little children to come sit in his lap. And, when they get there, he asks: “What would you like for Christmas?” I, like many other kids, fell for that “pitch” early on, but…
Oops! I Did it Again!
I don’t mean Britney Spears song that she released in 2000, though I remember it well. I don’t know why, but when I started typing this blog, that title came to me, because, well…..I did it again! Have you ever “let the cat out of the bag” or “put your foot in your mouth” or…
