1. I’ve been known to announce “I’m going out” with an English accent and in the manner of Peter Rabbit’s mother before I leave the house. 2. If I get a weird look I follow that by scolding, “Don’t go into Mr. McGregor’s garden. Your father had an accident and he was put in a […]
1. A lot of people over the weekend were leaving my house with a brown paper bag. See why HERE. 2. At our Thanksgiving gratitude circle of about 15 people our host suggested everyone shut off their cell phones for an hour. Curious, I asked the group how many didn’t have a cell phone. I […]
1. Driving my 3 year old grandson Bryce home after a sleepover over the weekend, I left Floyd at 3:15. About 30 minutes later I was puzzled when I saw it was just 3:19 until I realized I was reading a lit-up gas price sign and not a clock. 2. He was so worn out […]
1. THIS makes me happy 2. I keep a rock by my bedroom window in case I have to scare away the neighborhood bear that might want to eat the deer that my husband Joe has hanging from the tree (our year’s supply of hunted meat.) 3. Sometimes I think that shadows are the real […]

1. “Let your fingers do the walking,” the old yellow pages phone book refrain, has taken on a whole new meaning in today’s world of high speed computing. 2. Last night I was ordering pictures from Walmart.com, watching a video of Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie at Occupy Wall Street in New York and writing […]
1. Last night I saw a guy on TV wearing glasses with one lens round and the other one square. He was an artist of course. 2. I haven’t been good about matching my socks lately. At least they are all black. 3. THIS guy has explaining Occupy Wall Street in less than a minute […]
1. I just got a Facebook invitation to attend a Sun Hall Music concert of a band named Ultraviolet Hippopotamus. 2. In the last couple of weeks I’ve heard (and danced to) live music by Love Farm, Mighty Shakey, Ember Swift and Boris Garica. 3. I was watching the PBS special “The Rise and Fall […]
1. It was a good week. I killed a poisonous snake and had more than one date. 2. My son Josh, who has a composting outhouse on his North Carolina property, makes a good point when he says that future generations will balk when they hear that we used such a valuable resource as water […]
1. When I woke up Sunday morning after going out dancing two nights in a row and saw the wrist band around my wrist, I thought for a split second that maybe I’d been in the hospital. 2. It’s always good when I go dancing and apple picking and get a massage all in the […]
