Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Ah yes, the dreaded end of year list. Hey, be happy I'm only doing end of year, not DECADE - gawd, those are already gnawing at my sanity! Also, since I am totally a Power Of Positive Thinking (POPT forever!) kind of gal, and because I already did my airing of grievances, well this is... Continue Reading →
I swear this wont turn into a bird blog, but since the feeder is new and exciting and I am home to enjoy it..well... My hope was to get some fun varieties in the yard, and today has been a jackpot day. Since I finished in my bedroom yesterday...oh yeah...here's that set of pics..solid day... Continue Reading →
Sweet Prince brought this bird feeder over from work on Christmas Eve & I nearly rejected it. Fear of rats & too much mess. But, I do still have that rat trap service on contract from several summers ago, and we've now been two full seasons without even a sign of a rat, living or... Continue Reading →
The albums span 2002-present. My mom has been collecting photos and my write ups and other things to record his feats of glory. The books came out GREAT! SB may not appreciate them now, but he will. In the meantime, I'll sure enjoy them! I'll also enjoy that glorious lint roller (you rinse it off,... Continue Reading →

I don't actually do anything formally for this other than, well, that which I am quite good at: The Airing of Grievances!! I know, I... Continue Reading →
The wind was gusting all over as I parked at the beach to take pictures. It had rained earlier, but the bigger part of today's storm is the wind. Gusting at 30mph this morning, building up to 45mph this afternoon. I had my back to the wind as I took the photo above & I... Continue Reading →
I *was * starting to when I thought about all I had to do before Friday combined with parties/lunches/workouts/rides I had to deal with. Thankfully though, lunchtime shopping today was fruitful & while I was have to do that again on Wednesday I feel somewhat relieved. Meanwhile....here I am full of questions again! (balancing out...

Forgive the crappy photos, but of course I only had my iPhone with me: Over 5900 kids were pre-registered for the toy giveaway event. I got there mid-morning to help with some wrapping first, then I was placed at a table as a "giver" with a matching "runner" to grab the toys which were sorted... Continue Reading →
Forgive me those of you on Facebook for whom this is a repeat, but there's a bonus question in here 🙂 1) Do you say "bless you" to your cat or dog (or other pet) when it sneezes? I did that this morning when Chip sneezed & it made me giggle at my impulse. As... Continue Reading →
