Resolving to…

Resolving to…

It’s the New Year, 2023, which I can hardly believe. And, per usual, I struggled making New Year Resolutions. For crying out loud, I don’t keep them anyway, but Cowboy likes to keep me on the...

Busy Times

Busy Times

I was busy all day yesterday, but looking back, I don’t remember a lick of what I did. I can tell you what I didn’t do: I didn’t write my Christmas cards. I didn’t clean our house. I didn’t do the...

Going for a Sunday Drive

Going for a Sunday Drive

It snowed yesterday, maybe six inches, maybe more, but the roads cleared off quickly, so no worry about drifting snow, sliding around, and landing face down in a snowbank. My car has fancy new snow...

Cody and Other Critters

Cody and Other Critters

I haven’t had a pet for a long time and forgot how fulfilling they are. I was travelling on a regular basis, and I thought it unfair to a pet to leave for a long time, doling it out to a pet sitter....

My Shoe History

My Shoe History

I don’t know if other people have a shoe history, but I do. I also have a purse history, but that’s a blog for another day. My shoe history started when I was just a wee girl, I mean little. I...

Not Really a Blog

Not Really a Blog

My thermometer is broken. It must be. It says “0 degrees” which means there is no temperature. That can’t be. Oh, my, it is so cold that the temperature has disappeared, along with the green grass,...

The Computer Gods are Cranky

The Computer Gods are Cranky

Wednesday night I wrote this dandy blog, a laugh a minute, and giggled all the way through. I’d read it one more time and sent it off to my full-of-sunshine editor in the morning, who would pull her...

Toothbrushes and Lemons

Toothbrushes and Lemons

As you know, I receive a lot of junk mail, spam, and other useless “stuff” on my computer and my phone. It’s a waste of time to write it and I certainly don’t want to read it, so often wonder who in...

All Done

All Done

A Blog by Gail Cushman I haven’t been around a lot of babies since my youngest grandchild started thinking like a teenager, when she was almost two years old and asked if she could borrow my car,...

Doing Stuff

Doing Stuff

I’m a little late with my blog this week. I don’t have an excuse, just that I have been busy, doing “stuff,” and I’m not sure what it is. When I worked full time, I didn’t have trouble getting...

An Adventuresome Spirit

An Adventuresome Spirit

This week I had the opportunity to do two things. I love to write and feel that no day should pass without putting a few words on a paper. Sometimes they are useful, other times not so much, but...

Who Me?

Who Me?

My oldest grandson, Nathanial, a Marine, is getting married to a lovely young woman, Rebekah. They are both from Alaska, but he is stationed in Washington D. C. where he is doing Marine Corps jobs,...

Ten Words

Ten Words

Ten. 10. X. Just ten words changed my life from routine to chaotic. The cowboy suggested, “Why don’t you sell your house and move to Montana?” Oh, boy Could ten little words really make such a...

A True Story

A True Story

Wrinkly Bits I was sitting here, minding my own business, watching a baseball game, Cardinals vs somebody. I am a Cardinals fan, and the score was 1-0, Cardinals, so I thought it was a good time to...

I’ll Never Tell

I’ll Never Tell

Life is all about change and let me tell you that my life is changing faster than you can say lickity split. Fifteen months ago, I had a very serene, predictable life, even boring. I would get up in...

A Heck of a Week

A Heck of a Week

It’s been a heck of a week, and I thought I would walk you through some of what I’ve been doing for the last few days. Shoulder surgery is in the rearview mirror, but there is a second part of any...

Neighborhood Doings

Neighborhood Doings

I live in the best neighborhood. It isn’t fancy or anything, just good people and everyone takes care of everyone else. People smile and wave and keep track of each other and when I am on a trip,...
