Happy Birth Day

Thursday, September 27th, 2007
Cake1 Tuesday, September 25th was my birthday. I don’t particularly enjoy celebrating my birthday, and I haven’t for quite a few years. I prefer to fly under the radar when it comes to birthdays. Mind you, that I love celebrating other people’s birthdays, friends and family, and even people I don’t know very well (but I get invited to a celebratory dinner or… Read More

Lunchtime Challenge

Monday, September 24th, 2007
Lunch_at_table   Over the years, I’ve acquired many bad habits, some of which I’ve overcome and others that are still waiting in the wings.

So… Read More

Beyond the sea, beyond the sea, Are kindly hearts and social glee: But here for… Read More

Dream …

Clouds1 I never get tired of taking pictures of clouds. Likewise, I never get bored watching clouds. My husband has heard, on many occasions, “Pull over! There are some beautiful clouds that I just have to capture.” And then there is my video camera that I also enjoy capturing drifting clouds for those stressful times when a cloud break is in need. When I… Read More

“Non est vivre, sed valera vita est.” Life is not merely living, but living in health. Rockfountain As it has been such a crazy 2 weeks, I planned a day of calm rejuvenation. I went to a yoga class, a beginner course. I was a bit nervous for many so-called beginner classes are anything but beginner level. In the few previous… Read More
