Happy. Delightful. Peaceful. Pleasant.
Experiencing the sunrise, and enjoying a sudden rainstorm before having lunch with one of your favorite people. Happy is appreciating the life you’ve made for yourself. Watching the waves come in off the ocean, crashing against the shoreline and listening to the birds chirping in delight. Saying goodnight to another day well spent; crawling into a bed with clean sheets and feeling the peacefulness of sleep. Waking up to a happy golden, who is delighted to grunt and snort her good mornings, before going outside is a pleasant start to another day. There is a lot of happy in the world, and it’s the simple things that remind me of…

I am a Derp
I had to look that word up, just to make sure I was using it in the correct context. I am. Allow me to elaborate on that- I am a derp AND I am using it in the correct context. Also, allow me to explain that. About 3 weeks ago I received two packages and flowers for my birthday, all of which were thoughtful and made me smile. I typed up a blog post to say my “thank you” and didn’t hit the publish button. I have been wondering why no one commented or mentioned it, but then again, sometimes the posts go unnoticed. Here I am, with a few…

A Reminder, and a Hello.
Happy Monday and a hello to you from the Salt Flats. It’s an early start to what is going to be a very long day, as we set off to our next great adventure. MtnMan is driving and instead of taking a nap, which is what I usually do across the flats, I decided to blog. So here I am. I hope you’ve had a great start to your week and that it’s a successful one, no matter what it is you choose to do. I will be out of town until next Monday, getting home mid afternoon and in time for the VNA hour (May 22). Today, however, I…

My Anti-Bucket List
It seems popular to have a bucket list. Do you have one? I don’t. I figure that if I get around to it, then I’ll do it, but I don’t much care for creating a list of hopes. Not that I feel there is anything wrong with that. It’s just never been something that I thought I needed a list for. And, that is shocking. I love lists! But yeah, I don’t have a bucket list. While I’ve been trying to think of something clever to blog about, I thought maybe an anti-bucket list would be more fun, so here it is. Airplane Jumping: NOPE. I admire those that have…

A Reason to Celebrate!
Gregg with 2 g’s! In the words of Dwindsor himself, “happy anniversary of your birthday!” I, for one, am very happy for your trip around the sun, and hope that you do something to celebrate YOU! Eat a cake. Have a beer. Call off work. Go on a short trip. Hell, go for a long drive and dip your toes in the ocean! Do something that makes you smile. Thank you for being a part of the group and for allowing me to have your day to celebrate, because I really, truly do love everyone else’s birthday!

Happy Birthday, Zany!
I looked back into the archives of threads, and according to the posts, you’ve been a part of the group since 2015, which is pretty damn amazing. In being a part of the “band” of fellas and ladies, I feel as though your day is a good reason to celebrate! I hope that you know how much you are cherished and adored. Here is wishing you nothing but the best of days for your next trip around the sun.

Rescheduled VNA
I need to reschedule Monday’s VNA hour because we will be out of town, and I won’t be at a computer during the scheduled time. Let’s meet Saturday, May 27th at 10p EST instead. (yes, 10p so that another member can hopefully make this one) I will remind you, don’t worry. Ha!

Another VNA Win!
I am terrible at posting our wins, and I’ll be the first to admit that. It’s been months since I’ve shared the news here, but you guys keep me in the top three more than not. It does not go unnoticed that without you, I would not place in the top as often as I do. Seriously, I appreciate every one of you that has made it your mission to vote. There are far too many to list, so let me just acknowledge you as a whole: To those that show up, without fail, thank you. You guys choose to spend an hour of your Monday night with me, and…

That Word is So Naff.
adjective unstylish; lacking taste; inferior. verb (used without object) to goof off; fool around (often followed by around or about).Verb Phrases naff off, go away: used as an exclamation of impatience. Thanks to Wolf, I have learned a new word. A new to me, maybe not to you word, especially if you’re British. The behavior of insulting another is so naff. Well, aren’t you rather naff? What a naff thing to say. Ha! I’m having fun with this. Would you say I am naffing around? Hmm. I need to consult one of my resident Brit’s to find out if that’s proper term- naffing. Gah! Just naff off, would you?!? Okay, your turn. Use it…

April in the Rear View Mirror
The month of April was a busy one on lonestarangel.com and I’m grateful for each one of you. Without you, I would not still have a presence online, so thank you! To give a recap: the fourth month of the year marks my anniversary into the online world with 2023 being the 17th year. That’s amazing all in itself! In celebration the site had daily uploads of full content, not just a few teaser pics or short clips. Full sets. That’s 30 sets of content added last month! For a few days I had a BOGO sale- join for 1 month, get your 2nd one for free. The results were…
