Several weekends ago, I took a lovely walk at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. Not surprisingly, I came home with over 300 photos. It was so much fun! There was so much to see and marvel over. I felt like I could oohhh and aahhh over the flowers all afternoon long. The beautiful spring came; when Nature resumes…
FOR TODAY – Tuesday, 2/28/12 Right now I am. . . at Cracker Barrel, waiting for my breakfast to come as I stare at the fire. I scored a front row seat and have a great view of the warm, crackling flames. I am wearing. . . my black dress pants and dress shoes. I don’t think…
Wow, I cannot believe New Year’s Eve is here already. So, how did I do with my blog? Here’s an interview with myself: Why did you start the random word challenge?

I was surprised to learn how the structure of routine helped us cope with the many small decisions that had to be made over and over again, making life easier and leaving us to concentrate on bigger, more important issues.

Today will be a quiet post. I’ve enjoyed the Christmas tree my daughter put up – the house was still dark when I got up on Christmas Day. I turned on the tree and fireplace decorations, petted a few large dogs, and caught up with some old friends. If you’re off work today, enjoy. If…
