Hello March ~
Here it is March 1! I’ve always loved the month of March. It’s my birthday month. But I also love that spring is right around the corner. I’ve always felt it’s a month of new beginnings and renewal. My first granddaughter was born in March…..the day before my birthday. And my first great-granddaughter is due…

TV Viewing ~
With the state of affairs in our country and the world, I’m working hard to focus on things that give me joy. For someone who used to be a news junkie, I now ration myself. I have to. It’s reached a point where I find all of it too upsetting. One of the things I’m…

Accents ~
I recently listened to a podcast of This American Life from NPR radio. It was about accents and the guest was an Asian American who came here at age 7. I thought she spoke perfect English but she’s always been aware that she still doesn’t sound American. The entire episode was very interesting and it…

Burr! ~
I think it’s pretty safe to say that winter has arrived! Yes. Even here in Florida. It looks like the north and much of the south will be hit with snow and unusually cold temperatures this coming week. We’re expected to be in the 30’s in the morning here in Ormond Beach and I’m not…

Goodbye, July . . .
Here we are on the last day of July! Another month just flew right by. I haven’t done anything particularly exciting but I’ve been busy. Politically, it’s been a month of turmoil. As a staunch Biden supporter, I was very sad to see him step aside. However, I was also extremely impressed by his selfless…

Hello, June . . .
June has arrived much faster than I thought it would. Especially a year ago when I was anticipating my grandson Julien’s wedding in England on June 29. Now it’s almost here! We leave 3 weeks from Monday for Manchester. And yes, I’m getting more excited each day. Julien and I did a Zoom chat the…

Where Did May Go?
I can hardly believe that June 1 is two weeks from Saturday! Wasn’t it mid-April yesterday? I know I’ve had a very busy year but at this rate I’ll wake up tomorrow morning and be celebrating my 100th birthday! That’s how quickly time sometimes seems to be rushing along. Am I alone in thinking this?…

Happy Days . . .
This is basically a test post. I have notified all my readers via Facebook that I’ve just posted this. And hopefully, all of you received an email telling you this. Because all of it has been fixed. So the issue wouldn’t be on my end. All you need to do is go to the home…

Technology woes . . .
If you follow me on Facebook, then you know it’s been quite a week attempting to design and launch my new website and blog posts. Some of it is working fine. Some people were able to get the email telling them I had posted new content. Others were not. Some were able to leave a…

Tomatoes, etc.
It’s been quite the week with this website. I’m still not sure I’m set up properly, so this post is pretty much a test one. But I thought I’d give you a photo of the current status of my tomato plants. Yes! These are the same ones that I started in my hydroponic system on…
