One. More. Week. I. Can. Make. It.

Next Saturday at this time my parents, daugther and I will be just hours from our Florida destination!  I cannot wait!  July 1st can't get here soon enough!

In preparation, I have some minor shopping to do for some clothes that actually fit and look somewhat decent and have taken care of getting Kim her haircut.  Not only that, but I surprised her with something pretty neat and in fashion now: FEATHERS.  Well, she got one at least.  I must say, it looks cute and the gal said she will remove it when we come back for her next trim before school starts in August.  You know, I've been accused of being a fuddy-duddy and not daring.  Well, HA!  I think I was pretty daring today for my daughter.  We really do have a great time when we are together.

Later today I am getting to reconnect with an old schoolmate/sister Girl Scout who is in town for her graduating class reunion.  Time has really flown by.  I mean, it has been 26 years since I graduated from SHS and it just doesn't feel like it to me.  Then I look at my Kim and realize she is about to start high school at CSHS this August and I suddenly feel like I need a cane to support me.  ;)

After I reconnect with my friend, it is mom/daughter movie night!  Looking forward to seeing Jim Carey's newest movie.  It's gotten great reviews and I have been told it is funny (like it could be anything but funny with Jim Carey in it).  Jim Carey could really be matched up with Jerry Lewis - the Jerry Lewis of this age.  Jerry Lewis is/was one heck of a comedian and did great slapstick.  I love watching him in old movies/shows!

Well, best sign-off for now so I can get ready for my meeting with a dear friend.  I'll try to post again before we head off to Florida, but if not, I'll blog when I return.

Be blessed and be a blessing~

  December 25th. Another Christmas where we gather, though perhaps differently in 2020, with family and friends to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  We exchange gifts, some to spur laughter and others that touch the soul.  My sister did that with her "extravagant" gifts to myself and my darling Kim.  I was given a choker necklace with a tanzanite stone and Kim was given a gold, double link chain bracelet.  I am reminded that it isn't about how much we spend on gifts we give, but the true heart behind the giving.  Our gifts this year paled to years past, but Kim and I don't have lots of money.  I am often reminded that I didn't finish college and, therefore, don't have a job that brings in the kind of income my sister or brother earn.  My prayer is that my daughter, a new graduate from ETBU (see photo collage), will find employment where she can exercise the knowledge she gained as she works towards the start of grad school next fal...

I Don't Believe In Superstition

It's been said that a full moon makes folks go a bit crazy.  I don't buy that.  I really can't.  Affecting nature, that is believeable.  But altering a person from being lucid to the polar opposite is just not something I can swallow ~ and I'm in the alarm business too!  Do our incidents of crime rise due to the moon cycle?  I can't say for sure, but crime is a variable that has no real explanation except for desperation.  That's all.  Desperation. Was it desperation that led to the untimely deaths of two people in the span of 24 hours?  Maybe.  We won't know because they took their own lives and the only ones who know the answers are the loved ones and God.  All I do know is that, as one who often contemplated suicide, a permanent solution is never the way to solve a temporary problem.  So that brings me back to the fact that desperation must have played a role.  I'm not passing judgement.  I'm still trying to 1) ...

Out With The Old, In With The New (Oh, Who Am I Kidding?!)

  Well, I sure as heck haven't been keeping up with my blog like I had planned to do at the start of 2015 and now we are about to ceremoniously usher it out and bring in 2016. What!?!  It sure feels like I just blinked and all of the year just zoomed on past me.  Sad, really.  So many great things happened this year and I seriously failed to keep up with it all.   One of the many traditions I have is writing a yearly letter to send out with Christmas cards (which didn't get done this year). Since I apparently was in a coma this year, the yearly letter didn't get out, so I have vowed to write a letter to open the New Year and update all my friends and family that desire to hear an update from me.   For my readers (as few as there are), here is a snippet of our 2015 in review:   The year started off as it always does, with January 1st (ha ha) and the preparations for Kimbo's 18th birthday - yes, 18th!  That means she came of a...
