Feeling Fine

Feeling Fine

I knew I had been missing something and couldn’t figure out what it was. Whatever it was that I was missing always made me feel good and I hadn’t done it in a long time, well, in fact, two years...

Postcards

I looked out my front window this week and shook my head. I am not much of a window washer, but decided I was going to have to do something. I could hardly see anything. Between the rain and the...

Picking on Prostates

Picking on Prostates

My computer must be an advertisement magnet because I am getting more and more ads and they are getting weird. I don’t mind the ads about going to Hawaii for Christmas or buying cheap gas, but this...

Laughing at Rutabagas

Laughing at Rutabagas

I’m in a quandary. For many, their life’s work is filled with important things like the human condition, life after death, to wall or not to wall, and whether it is safe to eat processed food, like...

Calls, Texts, and Surveys, Oh, My!

Calls, Texts, and Surveys, Oh, My!

Since I returned from Florida, I seem to be getting more phone calls. I’ve figured out how to handle the robo calls, I just don’t answer and that works fairly well except that I have to delete and...

One of Those Days

One of Those Days

Yesterday was one of those days, busy from dawn to dusk, working on this and that and last night I was down-right tired. If I could get a little more organized maybe it would be easier, like Marie...

My Lemur Menagerie

My Lemur Menagerie

Easter is always a fun time to share, and this year was no different. I love to make pies and pride myself in being able to throw together a fruit pie in nothing flat. I spend more time trying to...

New and Adventurous Things

New and Adventurous Things

Cool beans and hot horseradish! My long-awaited publishing gig has finally arrived! Wrinkly Bits Cruise Time is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Indiebound. I started my...

But, MY Grandchild Is the Best

But, MY Grandchild Is the Best

Boy, am I one lucky duck! I’m not sure how it happened, but my children gave me four grandchildren (I know how thathappened) who are the smartest, most athletic, best looking, most personable,...

Meeting My New Friends

Meeting My New Friends

2020 had a lot of challenges for everyone, and I was afraid I would become a shopaholic or wine-aholic or wear the soles of my shoes out while on my five walks a day and I searched for something...

New Ways to Pay

New Ways to Pay

At the grocery store this morning, I noticed a brightly colored, metal kiosk offering bit coins. It was right next to the lottery ticket kiosk. I buy a lottery ticket once in a while but have never...

Root of the Problem

Root of the Problem

Good news today! The dentist saved my tooth! I am one happy camper because I was not looking forward to living out the rest of my life with a tooth gap the size of Delaware, which, coincidently,...

Saga of Gail’s Root Canal

Saga of Gail’s Root Canal

Besides my daily brishing and flossing ritual, I don't usually spend a lot of time thinking about teeth. That is, until one goes astray and makes itself known beyond its purpose. I had a wayward...

KTMC

KTMC

I graduated from high school over fifty years ago, and now somehow, I have been elected to the job of KTMC also known as Keeping Track of My Classmates. It’s not a bad job and I enjoy knowing where...

It’s Very Screwy

It’s Very Screwy

I don’t think my head has been in a paper bag, but yesterday I went to the bigger-than-life hardware store, looking for a screw that would fit one of the plug-in plates that had been removed while...

Coming Home

Coming Home

I’m officially home, looking at my neighbors’ yards and a beautiful moon that’s hanging in the sky. It’s only 7:30, but I ventured out, down to the corner and yes, it’s officially cold. Somewhere in...

Zipping Along

Zipping Along

I’ve made friends with the local beach turtle who has been entertaining me, zigzagging across the beach, never really going anywhere or doing anything, just crawling along like he has all the time...

Egg Salad and Other Things

Egg Salad and Other Things

My friend Trish and I had not seen each other for a several years and have been trying to make up for lost time so this week we had a new adventure. It started out as a simple quest. I was hungry...

Such a Loser

Such a Loser

These days I lose a lot of things. Mostly my glasses, keys, and my purse, but this morning was a new low. I am losing track of time. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, easy enough to remember, but when...

Clucking and Other Mysteries

Clucking and Other Mysteries

  My adventure continued this week as my friend Trish and I took a good look at St. Augustine via a Hop-On-Hop-Off trolley. We did more sitting than hopping on or off due to a little cold front that...

The Perfect Food

The Perfect Food

  With all my copious extra free time, I’ve been on another thinking spree and I spent this weekend thinking about my health and eating habits. I seem to think about eating a lot.   Since Covid...

Hello? How Would You Like to Help?

Hello? How Would You Like to Help?

My phone has been ringing off the wall, rather my wrist. It’s one thing after another, everyone wanting to help me. Today alone, I’ve had eight calls, and although I didn’t answer them and they...

Life Is a Banquet

Life Is a Banquet

This weekend I was watching television and somehow ran across one of my old favorite movies Auntie Mame and dove into it like an old friend. It is a delightful story about how life rolls around with...

Time and Time Again

Time and Time Again

I live in Idaho, which is in one of the “flyover states” (and just for the record, I hate that term), with no coastal beaches, but since I arrived in Florida, I have gone to the beach nearly every...
