Grrrrrrr!!

It’s been one of those days. One of those days where not one little thing seems to go right. Where everything you touch, tanks. One of those days when you spend a lot of time talking to people who DO NOT UNDERSTAND, and furthermore, could not care less.
It started this morning with a meeting [...]

Odds, and “Ends”

I’m going to try to get a post done today, but seems as if I’m easily side-tracked. I haven’t been on the computer much lately. We’ve been taking some day trips, and participating in some of the social events the RV park sets up. And then, of course, I stay busy with the day to [...]

Snapdragon time of life…

Yesterday we drove to Casa Grande to have lunch with T’s aunt and uncle, who are visiting in Arizona from Ohio. T’s uncle is only 9 years older than T is, making him 73 and the oldest one at the table. At 57 (okay, 58 in March), I was the ‘youngest’.
We had a great [...]

I’m in a Snit!

BEFORE…AND… AFTER….

Big things happen in my life, just as they do in everyone’s, and I’m able to handle them fairly well. But the little things – just drive me crazy!
Just because I’ve been bleaching stripes into my hair for 40 years – for some reason my hair isn’t too healthy. I had [...]

They are Jumping Out of Perfectly Good Airplanes!
