It’s nearing 12:30 PM on this dreary Monday. Clothes from the dryer have been folded and put away and another load of laundry is in the washer. I’ve hand-washed the dishes and set them in the dishwasher to dry. The … Continue reading →

It’s been a lazy day, so far, but at 3 PM the busyness will kick into gear when I begin teaching. My Door Dash from a nearby Chinese restaurant has just arrived, 1hr 13 minutes late. I dearly love this … Continue reading →

It’s about ten minutes before Noon on this last Saturday of November 2022 and I am only an hour into my day. Last night, The Park closed at 10 PM Friday night but my shift did not conclude until 11 … Continue reading →

The day could not be more beautiful and unseasonably warm for the end of November and Thanksgiving Day. Throughout my life, I have always leaned toward a sense of daily gratitude. Thanksgiving Day has simply been a day of spending … Continue reading →

I cannot believe we are to reach 54 degrees today. Right now, it is 50 degrees, and I am loving it. The past few days have been stunningly beautiful with the bright sunshine spending most of the day with us. … Continue reading →

I had an absolute BLAST! It was a long first day, 3:00 PM until 10:00 PM but it was so much fun. Running concessions, fun? Yes. Most often with parent boosters, I would get assigned in leadership areas but I … Continue reading →

I stepped off No. 17 on Main Street, adjacent from the Marriott Hotel so I could enjoy the fresh air and warmer weather. The best part of this walk is the beauty of this afternoon.

It’s 21 degrees and bitterly cold. I truly dread heading out into this weather an hour from now. 37 will top off the temperature for the day. Last night, I went to see TUCK EVERLASTING at Centerville High School with … Continue reading →

It was 19 degrees when I left the house at 7:20 AM for my Sunday morning breakfast haunt. My weather app now says it’s 18 degrees. But, despite the frigid temperature, the sun is blasting its brightness, just little warmth. … Continue reading →

Chief and Navi were born on an east central Indiana farm on November 17, 2010. Sadly, Navi left us on December 21, 2013, after a tragic accident. But, nevertheless, she is always remembered on this day. Make it a great … Continue reading →

I have every reason to feel accomplished with this day. It was long but so gratifying. The unseasonably warm weather seems to have boosted my spirit and energy. While I have taken time to rest, I have also taken the … Continue reading →

It is a bit chillier than previous days but the sun is out and the day is still gorgeous. My energy is fighting to be heard. Time changes tend to block my energy and today I feel a bit sluggish. … Continue reading →

Yesterday, while it was still warm, I hoped to tackle Mama Kay’s leaves, but she was hosting a card party and I didn’t want to disturb them. This morning, I took to my backyard at 10:00 AM to blow leaves … Continue reading →

This dark, rainy fun day may need to be curtailed as I do not want to go outside in the wet weather. I am still feeling triumphant that Operation Leaves is completed and just in time for the rain. Today … Continue reading →

So much for daylight savings time… it’s dark at 7:15 AM. It’s actually just very dark gray but it suits my grumpy mood for the morning. I was lying in bed with a list of documentaries, plus the last two … Continue reading →

Saturday morning was just one of those “damn it all to hell” mornings with my crabbiness. Once I got to The Park for my four hour shift, I was fine and happy to see Guests from the Hudson Valley region … Continue reading →

There’s not much to report. The time change still makes me feel a bit sluggish no matter how I try to maintain my energy. Teaching had so many highs over the past three days and I finished last night with … Continue reading →

I am awake and alert despite losing sleep Thursday and Friday nights. Thursday, I barely managed four hours. I fell asleep and woke around 2:00 AM and could not recover continued slumber until 5:00 AM. Last night, the play did … Continue reading →

I am one happy camper! After nearly twenty years, I finally applied a system for raking Mama Kay’s yard that was much more expedient. Her tree sits at the corner of her yard where Rockhill Avenue runs into Shroyer Road, … Continue reading →

This was a typical visit to Woodland Cemetery with Flyer. We’d always stop at the Wright family plot just as we did that first day before bringing Flyer home. The ten week old puppy hopped out of the car, scampered … Continue reading →

It’s been a slower start to my day, and I earned my additional snoozes after Zooming with my London son and feeding the dogs. Normally, I feel guilty for wasting time, but I do not. My body was nudging me … Continue reading →
