Love this song. I’ll start with that. Eric Clapton’s voice crooning the vocals tore at my heartstrings in my younger days. (I’ll confess, when I listen to the song now, it still does…) However, this post is not about the song (as much beloved at it is), but about those denim jeans we, of aContinueContinue reading “Bell Bottom Blues”

Sharing a touching post for this day
A time for contemplation
That picture above? It clearly shows my mood. Of course, the dog’s thoughts might not be contemplative, but more about his next meal. Who knows? But let me get on with what I’m meaning to say. The nights have been quite cool around here for a couple weeks. The forecast calls for more in theContinueContinue reading “A time for contemplation”
Ah, my dear Pippa…
I feel your pain. https://youtube.com/shorts/X9S2KlIC4Bo?si=CFNrm_Mm-5Bs275f I have a YouTube channel where I share a great many Pippa shorts, as well as other things. I just wanted to share this one with my blog readers today. I’ve had a rough couple of busy-butt days, but I wanted to post SOMETHING. Enjoy!
A Tisket, a Tasket, a…
Not a green and yellow basket (although you might find one in a thrift store), but many basket ideas! I’ve been, as usual, behind on my posting, but I came across this great article and thought I’d share it 🙂 (use the embedded link beneath the photo below).

Listen to the Quiet
This is worth a watch. It is a beautiful, touching, heartrending reminder of what we stand to lose if we don’t wake up and accept the responsibility of stewardship, of caring, of realizing we are not the only ones in this world who matter. https://youtu.be/06uYTjKwS1E?si=4_04qAcDyusg8Ha3
Every Picture Tells a Story
Don’t it? I’m listening to Rod Stewart’s cd of the same name right now. It was a birthday gift, along with Gasoline Alley, Dan Fogelberg’s The Innocent Age, and a FunkoPop Dobby—actually holding a teeny, tiny sock! This past weekend, I celebrated my birthday with all my kids (three sons and two significant others). FourContinueContinue reading “Every Picture Tells a Story”
Humanity
We are all one race: Human. This is a truth. Whether creationist or evolutionist, we all understand we started somewhere, grew into what we are today. I don’t purport to know or understand every religion in the world, but I believe most of them have their theory of creation. We started. We are. What weContinueContinue reading “Humanity”
Girls, Girls, Girls
Okay, I know that title got someone’s attention. More than Old Ladies, Old Ladies, Old Ladies might have at any rate. This past weekend was a “girls’ weekend” with my cousins. None of us are spring chickens. We all called ourselves old ladies multiple times during conversations. Sometimes bemoaning certain facts of our age, sometimesContinueContinue reading “Girls, Girls, Girls”
Les Mis-adventures!
What a wonderful day I had yesterday. Early on in my posts (perhaps the second I ever made), I talked about a day spent with one of my daughters-in-law–a day spent at yard sales and a garden center (see: The Chicken Teapot and the Fantastically Lovely Day). Well, here’s a post about our day yesterday,ContinueContinue reading “Les Mis-adventures!”
