Sometimes I wonder if dreams do come true. I think of the little dreams that come just before you awaken from sleep. There are some that seem like a picture postcard and then it is gone. Often the picture tells the dream and only one scene tells the story. I have had some good insights about things... Sign in to see full entry.
Surprise Visitor
Yesterday a silver car drove into our driveway and a tall, young man popped out with a big smile, dark hair and the bluest of clear and thoughtful eyes. It was my nephew from Florida. I love the idea that someone is thinking about you even if it manifests itself through a card or occasional call,... Sign in to see full entry.

Faith, hardwork and a little good luck
Well, here we are in the middle of summer. The weather is hot and the afternoon possibility of rain is a reality. We had a quick storm in my locality and to the west of us there was a bad storm leaving power poles down, trees and other things broken and on the ground. I hope you escaped that today....

Single minded my foot!
Today was full of diverse duties. I had an appointment with a local government official. Then later I was off to DMV to get a vehicle registered. I visited the bank and made a deposit. We had shrimp scampi for supper, dishes done and we are going to see a movie. Actually I am very tired, but I will... Sign in to see full entry.
Time for berry picking
This morning I dressed in long sleeve shirt, slacks and went out the door to look for blackberries. We have a field that is basically pasture and in the middle is a big clump of volunteer/uncultivated blackberries. They are beautiful this year and I have picked about 10 quarts this morning! They are... Sign in to see full entry.

How do you do it?
When you meet a person and the salutation/greeting is HOW DO YOU DO? What do you say in return? I think it is a cute expression. The Australians do it nicely. Often it means nothing and the response is the same HOW DO YOU DO? I generally say, I 'm fine thank you. But careless greetings are silly.... Sign in to see full entry.

Alert or not to be, ah that is a question!
Fully aware and attentive - wide awake or quick to understand or respond. That is what Mr. Webster has to say about being alert in his newly revised and updated college dictionary. I think we are all guilty of being uninterested sometimes during a conversation with a person and you start to look at... Sign in to see full entry.

Home from the Dentist!
Today I had a 6 months check up at the dentist. No cavities! Good! I was told my teeth were in good condition and gums were healthy. That is good to hear. I don't want to have any trouble called pain So, for the next 6 months, and a few days, I can rely on my new tooth brushes and some tooth paste... Sign in to see full entry.
