We had rain here at the beach. When the wind is strong and the rain is beating down it creates an exciting pattern. Fortunately it lasted only a little while. The dolphin were running,that is swimming, up and down eating their pleasure and the pelicans, seagulls and small birds, active and... Sign in to see full entry.

We talked and laughed and remembered
When I was 17 years old I was invited to join the senior choir at my Church. I did with glee, and loved the people the discipline and learning great music. Mrs. M was in the choir then. She is 10 years older then I considered her mature. Today we are the same age, funny how that happens. I think... Sign in to see full entry.

I spent it all
I went shopping today. How often do you shop? Well "M" likes to go shopping every day and probably we actually go about 3 days a week. Today we went together and I was in a shopping mood.

The lost watermelon
This evening I strolled into my garden. I had not been there since we received 7 inches of rain two days ago. The ground is still pretty soft so I tiptoed not to mire down into the wet soil. The rain had moved the watermelon vine in a funny way and there looking up at me was the biggest watermelon... Sign in to see full entry.
Status Quo
I have to figure that the world is round and that makes it a rollable object. Life can be very complicated some times and the best circular motion is to keep on getting up each morning. Well, then of course trying to make the day the best ever is an ongoing goal. Most of us, or some of us, often try... Sign in to see full entry.

Something exciting is going on here
My Christmas present arrived yesterday. No ribbons were needed, no cold weather and no jolly little ole Saint came with my gift. I know it is early but you have to act when you can or "strike when the iron is hot" my Daddy used to say. I've been interested in a Notebook for convenience of travel and...

Want to travel more?
As a retiree that is possible..to travel more.. As time goes on each location begins to look familiar. The resorts all seek to satisfy with furnishings that seem to be alike. The available sites are geared for tourists. How many McDonald's, Appleby's and chain restaurants can you visit. I think I am... Sign in to see full entry.
