  • The 9/11 Memorial and Museum

    Being in NY and experiencing first hand the terrorist attacks to the World Trade Center and having it affect me so deeply I felt I needed to go to the museum. We had previously been to the memorial, the pools with all the names of the victims during a Christmas visit but I didn’t want…

  • New York City

    We did it, finally! I had wanted to go play tourist in NYC for awhile now. We previously had gone to the city every year during our trips to NY. We hadn’t been there since before Covid. I wanted to go to Strawberry Fields, the High Line, Hudson Yards, the 9/11 Museum, and maybe see…

  • New York, New York

    New York, New York

    On Thursday we are leaving for NY. We are staying with Bryan for three days, then heading to the city for four days. Pete didn’t want to spend 22 dollars a day for parking so he made reservations at a Marriott in NJ so then we can take the ferry into the city every day.…

  • Facebook Again? and Secrets

    I haven’t actively been on Facebook since my last post. My daughter sent me an IM with a link for something she thought I would like. I had been using IM all these years to communicate with friends without going on Facebook. Anyway out of the corner of my eye I see a chat, (which…

  • Facebook and Me

    I don’t remember when I joined Facebook, but I know I joined to be able to see friends and relatives that I didn’t see often. It got me closer to one of my cousins and kept me informed of what was going on in their lives. I got to see and hear about their grandchildren.…

  • What’s Wrong with Me?

    This is where I left off. Every day I wonder, “what’s wrong with me?” I get up in the morning, turn on Today Show, get coffee and start playing games on my iPad. I’m into the coloring and I’ll color up to three pictures, then switch to Spider Solitaire until I win, and then Mahjong.…

  • Newest Bargains

    There was an estate sale in our neighborhood and Pete was nice enough to let me know and take me. Most of the stuff was gone but I did get a pretty blue decorative bottle that I didn’t take a picture of for a dollar. As we were leaving I asked about outdoor stuff and…

  • Wedding Weekend

    Last weekend we made a quick trip to Sparta, New Jersey for Pete’s nephew John’s wedding. We left Friday morning at 9:30 and got there around 4:30. I hate that drive. Luckily I was able to read. The rehearsal dinner was at 5 and left us little time to get ready. The whole family was…

  • September 11, 2026

    September 11, 2026

    Today is the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York, the Pentagon and the heroes who crashed their plane in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. The promise of “we will never forget,” is especially emphasized today because of this significant anniversary. There is continued respect and admiration of all who gave their…

  • 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…
