My Patched Jeans

A few years back, when ripped jeans were becoming the rage, I bought a pair. Very baggy, a few strategically ripped parts and folded bottoms. They were a very light denim colour and rode low on my hips. They were the most comfortable pants I owned. Now these jeans were everything an older gal like … Continue reading My Patched Jeans →

Life… Journey or Destination

In the last month I went to two funerals. They could not have been any more different. The first was my mother-in -law. She was coming up on her 95th birthday but her health was failing. She had a long and varied life but she had lost her husband as well as two children and … Continue reading Life… Journey or Destination →

Christmas Through The Years

My earliest real memory of Christmas was the year I got the Almond. It was amazing and I will never forget the feeling. First let me explain the story behind the almond. In Denmark there is a dish called risgrod. It is a rice porridge that is mainly eaten around the advent and Christmas season. … Continue reading Christmas Through The Years →

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? →

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. Apparently there are penalties for speeding. And getting caught one too many times. No what … Continue reading I’ve Never Bought A Car →

Did They Really Hurt You or Did They Just Not Live Up To Your Expectations

Wow. That was a title and a half. I just couldn't think of another way to word this post. But now that I look at it again, I guess that kind of says it all. 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 →

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 →

Relax. It’s Just The Age of Aquarius Baby!

Not sure about you, but it seems as if the world is really uptight lately. And it seems to be getting worse. This isn't your everyday usual whining. It is hard core doom and gloom. It seems like every time you turn around there is an overabundance of negativity being spewed into the cosmos. It … Continue reading Relax. It’s Just The Age of Aquarius Baby! →

I’m Alone, Not Lonely

As long as I can remember I have enjoyed solitude. Some of my fondest memories are playing by myself as a child. We lived in a very small town when I was born and as was the norm in the 1960's, I was allowed to roam and play. We were the original free range children. … Continue reading I’m Alone, Not Lonely →

My Failed Attempt At A Gratitude Journal

Awhile ago my son shared a conversation he had with his friend. She said that when she died she wanted everything erased. Journals, diaries and unfinished manuscripts were to be burned. Hard drive wiped clean and all evidence erased. My son on the other hand said he would rather that we find everything he had … Continue reading My Failed Attempt At A Gratitude Journal →
