  • Monthly Weigh In – August 2026

    This month my weight is the same as July, 127.2 lbs. That’s good, as long as I’m not gaining. I feel good, my clothes are fitting me better which I love. Isn’t it funny how when you get older you don’t like tight clothes. In my younger years it didn’t matter that you had to…

  • Fires, Floods and Drought

    Fires, Floods and Drought

    Lately I’ve been thinking, (what else is new?) I can’t help it with the headlines constantly reporting of the rising temperatures, fires, floods, and drought. None of this is new. There are out of control wildfires every year throughout the US and Canada, there are even wildfire seasons. The rising temperatures are a fact. Lots…

  • Update on Craft and Biography Issues

    It’s been a long time but I have been working on some of my past issues. In the Category “Crafts,” I have finished two wreaths, one I’m not happy with, it will take minor fixes and then I will post pictures. In total that will make three completed wreaths, which is one more than my…

  • VaCa N. Carolina

    The past week we spent at our home in Wilmington, NC. I was thrilled that Bryan, Laura and Brylee flew down to spend the week with us. It was the first time they saw the house. Of course they loved it! All in all it was a great week spent with Brylee. Bryan had arranged…

  • Emails and Patient Portals

    What do emails and patient portals have in common? I hate them both! Emails – Unfortunately I have three different email addresses; one from the beginning of the internet, one for when I had my garden consulting business, both on AOL. I have my current and most relevant email address in gmail. My Facebook email…

  • Global Meditation

    My daughter informed me that on Saturday, March 21 at one pm there would be a “Global Meditation for Peace, Love and Respect.” Your participation is to take the time to pray or meditate and put forward positive energy throughout the world. I have nothing else to do so I participated. I started with prayer,…

  • My First Auction

    A couple of weeks ago, (when I got out of the hospital) we went to the house in NC for four days. We were shopping for groceries and noticed there were signs for an auction the following day. Viewing started at 10:30 am and bidding started at 1:00. This was in the same strip mall…

  • Missing…..

    I’ve watched The Today Show most of my life. It’s weird but they do feel like family to me. Every morning I get up, pour coffee and watch the show. I genuinely like all of the anchors. Yesterday morning I was pretty surprised to hear that Savannah Guthrie’s mom was missing. I’m a huge fan…

  • Quotable Quotes

    This quote was in the December 2025/January 2026, AARP, The Magazine. ” I can’t say I don’t look in the mirror and get horrified at times. You know, we’re just little girls with wrinkled skin!” The quote continues with “But I have a new grandchild who lives in my neighborhood, and we are slipping into…

  • New Category

    I realized that a lot of my posts have nothing to do with any of the existing categories. I started a Category that I left as “Uncategorized” which I thought of putting all the random posts in. I was also just putting them in “My Life with MS,” which had nothing to do with MS.…
