1. I’ve taken to wearing cat ears during the Halloween season and yesterday Joe called me the Cat’s Meow. 2. I got my fortune read at the Floyd Center for the Arts’ Halloween Kidsfest on Sunday. She said, “I see you going on an African Safari, and you bring your fortune teller a picture of […]
1. There’s marigold and Yukon gold in October. 2. Not to mention Halloween pirate gold. 3. The grandkids came on Saturday. I went half the day wearing cat ears and they never said a word. 4. After supper, Joe and I took them to the Floyd Community Theatre’s Young Actors performance of Peter Pan and […]
1. What to remember when waking: I try not to put demands on the day or dictate my thoughts. I don’t want the first thing I remember in the morning to be the last thing I worried about the night before. 2. In 2007 I posted THIS video in a 13 Thursday list with the […]
1. Life has gotten so much more complicated now that Facebook has emojis. I’m pretty sure I have a touch of aspergers syndrome because I don’t understand all their facial expressions. 2. I’m starting to want THIS for Christmas. 3. It’s a gift to have to put my glasses on while sunbathing in the yard […]
1. I like that when I’m in the thrift shop I can find everything from a cap to a cape to capris. 2. I like writing poetry, but the hardest part is creating the open time it takes to do it. When I can’t write a poem, having a good dream is the next best […]
1. When I got dressed Monday morning I felt my friend Mara in my body and found myself wondering what she was putting on that morning. Mara’s been at Duke University Hospital for a couple of months with her daughter, who needs a heart transplant and who has had several near-death close calls. – […]
1. At the Beatles tribute concert we went to on Saturday, I was surprised that my son Dylan sang along to every song. “You know all the words,” I said to him. “I guess I raised you right.” 2. During the concert, which was an outdoor one at Chantilly Farm, my grandsons didn’t understand why […]
1. The part of last week’s Yoga Jam festival that’s not translatable by camera is me agreeing to be a target for 4-year-old Ryder while he practiced nerf “archery,” which he calls “orchardry.” He almost faked killed me. 2. Whenever I cover a long weekend festival, by Sunday I’ve usually lost my work ethic and […]
1. The brighter you shine your light (spirit) without acknowledging your dark (soul), the bigger your shadow can loom and have power over you. 2. When an idea becomes an ideal, it’s prone to ideology, which frequently manifests as a lack of new ideas. 3. I probably have written more than 100 poems about the moon, […]
1. After my mother’s wake, Joe and I went to the local pub for some fried clams and brew. I ran into some old school mates that I hadn’t seen since high school, and we ended up having a “who can best walk like Kevin Sheehan” (my old boyfriend) contest. Watch HERE. 2. At the […]
1. Joe was off on his latest trip less than 3 hours when he face-timed me from a cafe to show me his pimento cheese burger. 2. While face-timing, I saw his big brimmed hat on the table, “Now you have to carry that around in and out of airports. It may as well be […]
1. A shadow stretches the truth. 2. I think it’s very cool that the word actual is within the word factual. 3. Alexa Meade is an American installation artist who paints directly onto live models and incorporates them seamlessly into painted canvases so they look like part of the painting. Check out her fantastic work HERE. […]
