    I Have Made a Decision

    I am going to find and buy a piece of antique furniture for a spare bedroom. I really love the old styles and simplicity of yesteryears, and most vintage pieces were strongly built with solid wood, not particle scraps pressed together by machine. I do not know what the piece is just yet, but I will find it soon and then take a picture for you. lol.

    Easter; Pascha; Resurrection Sunday

    Regardless of whether or not you believe, most people celebrate Easter Sunday with food, festivities and hiding eggs from the little ones and watching them go on a hunt in their Sunday best.  Today marks the oldest tradition in the Christian church and is on the first Sunday after the first full moon of the spring equinox.  I enjoy Easter because it is a sign of a fresh season, new growth and I can wear white pants again, if I so choose.  I hope that you all have a beautiful Sunday, a warm and happy Easter and that you are doing what makes you smile the most.

    Spring Blooms . . .

    . . . are signs that a new season is near and life has been cleansed and is anew. Last fall I shoved 500 bulbs into the ground and let the winter freeze them and turn them into what I hope will be beautiful blooms all through the spring and into the summer. It was a mild winter, but it was still below freezing and cold under ground enough for the bulbs to have season long blooms! At least, that is my hope. The colder the winter, the better then bloom. I am not sure where I planted what, so it is going to be a surprise of bouquets all…

    Buy Me Some Peanuts and Cracker Jack

    Whether you are a baseball fan, or not, you have to admit that opening day signifies that spring is right around the corner. Hell, for some I believe summer has already arrived, however, for many winter was late on arrival and now spring has been delayed. Despite all of that, the opening day of Baseball means that spring has sprung and it is time to start planning the garden. Or, at least, I hope that I can do that soon. But, if I cannot, I am just as thrilled because having an actual winter has done so much to lift my spirits, or maybe it is the distance that has…

    Next Week on Cam

    Streamate is having a contest that will begin Saturday night and it runs through the entire week, and it is one that is worth my time, which is a welcome change. That just means that I will spend almost all of my time on SM, and not so much on Skype and other avenues.  I will be online Saturday, starting at 8p EST, with a break for dinner and then a couple hours after. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be spent all day online, and then back after dinner.  The member show’s will be as follows: Monday – VNA 11p EST  Tuesday – Streamate 11p EST (normally it is 8p…

    A Family Bond

    It is well known that I want an elephant. They truly should be admired, loved and worshipped. Here is something that one of my Ele sites posted this morning and it is worth a share: They say that nothing is more important to an elephant than family. Elephants are well-known for their complex, multi-layered social networks led by an older female. Known as the matriarch, these wise female elephants carry with them a lifetime of inherited wisdom that helps the whole herd survive; where to find water, where to find food, when to avoid danger. While studies of African elephants show the clear dominance of the matriarch in a herd,…

    This Needs to Stop! ! !

    Yesterday’s adulting has shoved its way into my today and it seriously needs to stop! WHY can’t each day be a NO PHONE CALL policy day? Seriously? I do just fine online and via text, there is no reason that we cannot devise an insurance plan without a phone call. lol. Just let me pay $50 a month and don’t tell me it won’t cover any doctor visits or real life needs. Just do something on your computer screen and make it happen.

    Adulting

    Pfft! Adulting. Ack!  I think being an adult comes with great advantages, and have never been one of those to wish time could be reversed as to give me a do-over. Nope. I much prefer life as an adult, I have to be honest, but goddamn it, some days I want to not adult. I was looking for health insurance Saturday night, and found a site with several options. When I woke up Sunday morning I had an email from a gentleman, wanting to discuss options. So, back and forth we go, exchanging emails and then he needs to discuss it further over the phone. WHAAAA? Because I need to…

    New Beginnings and New Seasons

    G’morning! I hope this finds you doing well and rebounding from the hour lost over the weekend. It baffles me as to why we continue to honor such dated ideas. Granted, it once made sense to extend the day to give more sunlight, but not in today’s day and age. It is unhealthy and ridiculous, but that is not the reason for this post, so moving on… I have been slogging away, trying to get to the end of my past, while also living in the present and hoping for a bright future. With that said, I was not able to finalize anything during my trip to Austin last week…
