The Big Box By The Door

A few months back my truck was stolen from in front of my house. I had just come back from the cabin and there was a ton of stuff in the back as well as the regular car stuff.

Who Stole My Harry Nilsson Album?

Now and again I like to sit in my basement with the lights off as I listen to an old album on my stereo. I'm not much of a drinker but I will pour a little crown royal whiskey over some ice as I sway to the tunes in the dark. The stereo is my … Continue reading Who Stole My Harry Nilsson Album? →

Whatever…

If you look this word up in the dictionary it tells you that it takes on a multitude of meanings. It is a pronoun. But pronouns are deceiving. Because of the world today we focus on the simplistic form pronouns take. And often the ones that currently offend the world. He, she, they, them. Simple easy to understand. I, you. Pronouns. This is the … Continue reading Whatever… →

I’ve Never Bought A Car

Well that is a little misleading. I drive and I will hate it one day when someone decides I am a menace and my license is revoked. Oh wait, that already happened. But I got it back after a month.

The Open Road

I came home from the cabin the other day after being trapped there for a few days longer than expected. I was on my motorbike and the weather turned yucky.

Never the less I am going to give you a little deeper look into my opinion on the matter. Because it is my blog. Whether … Continue reading Did They Really Hurt You or Did They Just Not Live Up To Your Expectations →

Geraniums… The Old Lady Flower

We split a bunch of the overgrown plants and did quite a lovely job filling in the beds around her … Continue reading Geraniums… The Old Lady Flower →

Socialism; The American Bogeyman

For Americans it seems that socialism is like the bogeyman. Mind you, they have a lot of bogey men. But it seems that this particular fear threatens life as they know it. Their rights and freedoms will all be stripped away. Life will suck. Their role as the greatest country in the world is at … Continue reading Socialism; The American Bogeyman →

It’s Easy To Be Kind

Recently I was having a bad day. That often leads to a pity party of one. Which is okay as long as the party ends and we go back to our regularly scheduled programming. The next day I was in a social situation with a lot of people from my very distant past as well … Continue reading It’s Easy To Be Kind →

Dad’s wisdom

My husband Rene' was a collector of sayings. When he retired, his most prized possession from work was his folder of jokes, quips, cartoons and funny stories. He was an observer in life and was known for his wit and quiet demeanor. My kids and their friends were somewhat afraid of him as children but … Continue reading Dad’s wisdom →
