  • Could Have, Would Have, Should Have….

    This title refers to my second and last regret, that I did not go away to college. My parents wanted me to but (my mother), disapproved of anything I was interested in. I had a friend, Brenda, that was going to the technical school (BOCES) associated with our high school, Hendrick Hudson. She was studying…

  • Myrtle Beach

    We got back yesterday from a week in Myrtle Beach with Bryan, Laura, Nikol and Brylee. We stayed at a Holiday Inn Vacation Club Rental. I bought this vacation at the very end of a sales pitch to buy their time share. It was a good buy, we were told we would be staying in…

  • What’s Going On

    My life’s been very busy, which is good. helps keep my mind from roaming around. Starting with Memorial Day weekend. We took a quick trip to NY for Brylee’s 5th birthday party. We left VA at 4 am so there was no traffic. Coming back we left at 11 pm, no traffic. The party was…

  • Mother’s Day

    Mother’s Day this year was on Sunday. I was going to work since nothing was going on but decided not to. Bryan called me first thing in the morning from DisneyWorld. I got to speak to Brylee. I haven’t gotten a card from Bryan in over 5 years. He swears that he sends them but…

  • Nature Nurtures

    “Nature is a place of balance and is very comforting to me. I get a sense of peace and connection”

  • Love, Love, Love

    All around my house I have the lyrics “All you need is love” and in the new house my original art, “Love is all you need.” Here I am with no love at all. I know my kids will say they love me and I’m sure they do. Neither will go out of their way…

  • Monthly Weigh In – May 2025

    This morning, 144 lbs. I’m still watching what I eat but haven’t been on my stationary bike since my back went out. I have been outside gardening.
