Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
http://youtu.be/CC2qKATc3Bw I love the Google doodles! They are so creative - you never know which holidays/birthdays/anniversary events that they will mark so you end up going over there once a day just to see what might be up. We aren't celebrating outside the blog this year 🙂 It being a Wednesday it sort... Continue Reading →
Weary of election crap. Weary of people who can't respect anyone on the other side of an argument EVER - even when said person is commenting in a thread about how nice it is to see people cooperating during a disaster. Weary of people who prefer their biases over math and scientific evidence. Weary over people who... Continue Reading →
Thanks to twitter and facebook I feel like I know half the people living under that enormous storm cloud. Many have been tracking it well since last week and could tell it would be hugs. All seem to have been diligently watching the reports and preparing ahead for the storm and it's aftermath (flooding... Continue Reading →
Set my alarm for 5:45 this morning. Why? Because Renee was starting her race at 7:50 central time and I wanted to track it. I setup my laptop right next to my bed and just had to roll over and hit refresh on the website obsessively while watching Up. The IronMan 70.3 is as you... Continue Reading →
Isn't that pretty? That's termite sawdust...inside the door frame of my french doors. They are pretty well established in the trim around the whole house. Door trim, roof eaves - everywhere. My shared wall neighbor had her house painted and these same trim pieces replaced and they were just covered in bugs and pretty... Continue Reading →

I will apologize ahead of time to my more feint of heart readers but this politically oriented post needs to be on my blog site that gets the most eyeballs. It turns my stomach to see this graph, but it is important for female voters, and men who support us as equals, to see this: Courtesy of... Continue Reading →
And here I thought having a week off would make it EASY to post every day 
Of course, this has turned into the typical at home time off when time fills quickly with errands and I was barely home yesterday & am out again this morning. 16's concussion recovery has stalled. He is having... Continue Reading →
Day one of vacation was filled with many errands and accomplishments. There was also a final debate. But none of that matters. Because this happened: Right to left: 16, 27 and 27's older sister (same dad) and her adorable baby girl. While I have been keeping up with her through Facebook for awhile now,... Continue Reading →
Weather conditions were just about perfect. Some heavy drizzle just before the start kept them from being the best possible. But the water was "warm" for the bay at 68 and the outside temps were the same and there was.......NO WIND!!! (oh thank you all the deities to be thanked!) My personal condition was less...
