New look!
I felt the page needed a change. I hope you enjoy the fresh paint.
Oklahoma needs plenty of good vibes from us all. Light a candle, say a prayer, do whatever you do to send them.
The people there need kindness now. I’m sure there are many clothing drives and other things we can donate to, to help out.
Skip your expensive coffees this week and send what you’d spend to the Red Cross, ear marked for Oklahoma tornado victims. Every little bit helps.
Or you could donate your coffee money to the animal rescues who are trying to reunite victims with their beloved pets.
Be kind, be generous, do for them as you would want done for you in a similar situation. Remember, it could have been you.
You all have a good one.

Picture day Tuesday
Supervising the making of the toast.
Bow, bark, bow…”Sissy play with me!!!”
“Come on…PLAY!”
“You asked for it!”
“Gotcha!”
“No napping, let’s play some more!”
“Grrrr, I gonna chew yer neck!”
“Huggies.”
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ next to Mom’s desk chair.
That’s a wrap!
Had a good time with Annie at the Holistic Expo and came home with a gorgeous silver and amber ring, and a lovely amethyst geode.
When we left there, we were starved since we hadn’t had any lunch. We headed to one place nearby that always has good food at a great prices but they were closed. Dang, I forgot they weren’t open on a Sunday.
Decided to make a mall run then since we knew all the restaurants out there were open and I had promised her a decent lunch. Albeit a late one.
Found some new flip-flops on sale…silly ones, with pink flamingos on the straps. Skelemingos would’ve been more fun but they’d never have that.
You all have a good one!

Didn’t win the lottery so I have other things to do…
Years ago, I attended a Spiritual Holistic Expo here and planned to go again the following year but dates were changed and it has coincided with my Pennwriters conference ever since.
Tomorrow I am going. Since I’m not at the conference I might as well enjoy the Expo. Plus, in the same building, at the same time, the Innovative Beads Expo is going on. Wow, a twofer!
The Curmudgeon is encouraging me to go because he knows how unhappy I have been about missing the conference.
You all have a good one.

Play it or not?
Powerball is up to a record high. Do I buy tickets or not? I think I will, no sense at all in not giving it a shot. I never go crazy on buying the tickets–unlike buying tickets at the PW conference for baskets.
What would I do with all that money?
First, I’d buy a house that I liked near water ( a lake, a beach, or next to a good fishing river) not his parents old house.
Then, I’d hire someone to take excellent care of The Curmudgeon and the pups for a month while I go on a vacation to some luxury spa on a beach.
I would take care of my friends and my cousins.
I’d hire a trainer and get myself totally fit and healthy.
I’d set up a fund for BTs needing rescue and care.
I can dream can’t I?
You all have a good one!

Missing Pennwriters
If this were a normal year, I would’ve arrived in Pittsburgh yesterday and be enjoying the company of my many Pennwriters friends at the Pennwriters conference.
This is not a normal year. The Curmudgeon has had seizures and because of that I stayed home this year. I feared being clear across the state with no one here to check on him.
I got rather snarky with the MS society recently. I think it’s good I did. I am beginning to get some help that I wasn’t getting before. I should have done it sooner. If I had, I would probably be at the conference enjoying my four-day working vacation.
To all of you people attending the conference this year. I desperately wish I was there. I REALLY NEED A VACATION!! And most of all, I miss everyone!!!
You all have a good one!
Lucious Lilacs.
Two steps out the back door and the marvelous fragrance of lilacs overwhelms me. Heaven. I have miniature lilac bushes some in the front of the yard and some in the back, and then I have a regular lilac in the side garden. All are in full and heavy bloom.
She’s tired…oh, so tired…
I went for my first walkies in the Rose Garden Park this year. My feeties are sore and I am very tired…but I am happy too. I had a good time with Momma, and Aunties G and Annie. We had a girls day.
Malcolm, he was my heart dog…
Every once in a while a pet comes into your life and strolls directly into your heart to stay there forever. This is my heart dog. He lives in my heart as much today as he did for the thirteen years he was with us.
Thank you Maggie Burns for this wonderful dog who blessed our lives and sits forever in my heart.
Pizza anyone?
I have decided to add a variety of healthy pizzas to our diet, homemade pizzas. I have a pizza stone ordered and on its way and have a nice wooden peel picked out for my next order.
Why have I decided this? Well, I’ve acquired several pizza cookbooks for free on my Kindle and thought that over the summer I could use either my oven or my grill to make some tasty pizzas. I think it’d be interesting to grill them.
The Curmudgeon loves pizza and this may be a way to get him to eat ‘healthier’ foods where he might actually enjoy them.
When I was a teen, our family had a killer pizza recipe that is now lost to me. I’d sure love to find one similar to it among all these recipes.
You all have a good one.

Sniff…did you smell that?
One thing I’ve noticed since I quit smoking is my sense of smell is even sharper. All those years I smoked, I still had a better sense of smell than a lot of people, but now I am amazed with how acute it is.
(As careful as he is to keep people from noticing it, my cardiologist is a smoker. The scent was very faint but it was there. He doesn’t know that I know.)
Walking through the farmers market is a fragrance filled adventure. I love the perfume of good food. The scent of fresh fruits, smoked meats, roasted chickens, pizza, pickles, fresh breads and other baked goods, cheeses… oh my! I should wear a bib to keep me from drooling on the various cases we pass by traversing from one end to another.
I do not love the stink of people who bathe in perfumes or aftershave. Dial it back people, you are migraine inducing idiots! I am fortunate that my migraines are not triggered by perfumes. However, I have many friends who do have their migraines triggered by perfume. The only thing that triggers my migraines these days are petroleum products.
Remember to stop and smell the flowers. You all have a good one!
