Something has been bugging me all day. I can't get it off my mind. So true to form I will write it out and then decide whether to hit the publish button. I make it a habit to watch The Today Show most days. I think I do it because I remember my Daddy always watching it. I have my little morning routine----wake up, feed the cats, get coffee, lounge in bed with laptop and tv tuned to The Today Show and catch up on what I missed overnight. This morning was the normal morning. Not … [Read more...]

I Am WiFi
By · 29 Comments
Did you hear the latest about the human WiFi connections??? Austin, TX hosts the annual South by Southwest Festival and it is a huge thing!!! Our oldest son is a big fan of this huge music festival when he lived in Austin and still is. It is one of the best things about Austin. This year they are trying something that has proved to be a tad controversial as I discovered via The Today Show. Austin, like any big city, has a pretty large homeless population. Factor in the warm climate … [Read more...]

Times They Are A Changing
By · 17 Comments
I was just thinking that times have changed. I make no bones about my age. I am 51 going on 52. If you ask my brother in law, Carlton, he would pinpoint my birthday down to the minute---no grace period from him! He has the ability to tell you when Christmas will be next year--what day it falls on, when his birthday is, etc. If I have a date related question I go to him. But I digress. With the passage of time comes change. Some big, some little, some gentle, some harsh and … [Read more...]

I Think My Brain is Hot
By · 15 Comments
My dear sweet husband has a way of imparting knowledge that no one else on earth can possibly come up with. It is one of his more endearing qualities. He is somewhat of a sponge. Read a fact and it stays with him for life. Never mind that the facts that he spouts are ridiculous, irrelevant crazy not pertinent to my life. He still continues to amaze me with his knowledge. The other day he threw a new one at me. Seems there is research that shows that yawning is related to having … [Read more...]

False Teeth, Hearing Aids and More

I was pondering about what to write about today and at first considered writing about how the Duggar family is now expecting baby number 20. This is what I posted on my Facebook status : "Michelle Duggar is pregnant with number 20....I just don't know what to say about that." I got a lot of comments. A lot!!! They ranged from "good grief" to "leave them alone---at least they can support the family and the children are all raised to be respectful and kind". I didn't expect such a … [Read more...]

I Beat The Odds
By · 13 Comments
I am still here. Thank goodness. I was a little worried. I was NOT one in 21 trillion and I am glad of it. The NASA satellite has landed, the 6 ton behemoth of a hunk of space junk, and supposedly is has landed in the vast Pacific Ocean. Details are still a little sketchy at this point but when my phone alerted me last night that it had fallen to its fiery death I was relieved and could sleep like a baby. Thank goodness. When I told my husband this morning that it had landed and that … [Read more...]
