I would wager to guess most of you are fairly computer literate.  If you know how to turn the computer on and where the monitor is you're good to go. My Son and I at Disney World Recently I decided to teach older adults at a local community center how to use the computer, to give them a gateway to communicate with family, browse, shop, whatever their hearts desires.  Maybe you

mom reading to her grandsons After my mother passed, I "inherited" a few items from the little she had left. Living in a nursing home doesn't afford much room, and you learn it's not the amount of things you have it's more about relationships that matter. This poem was tucked in a book and I decided to keep it.   I don't know why, maybe because it was what she liked and it was like

Ahh finally a moment to breathe, sorta.  The big fundraising, birthday party everyone was fretting over  is but a distant memory.   Shoes are now stored away, frocks are frocking on the hangers of the local dry cleaners and right when you think you're able to give the party fare a rest from your ever increasing waistline October then turns a corner to November and it's time to drag

This has been posted more than once but since the Holidays are upon us, it might cause us to pause and think before we stuff and stuff.Enjoy!Cookies, Biscuits, Cakes and Tarts. Pies, Betty's, Cobblers, Scones, Shortbreads, Éclairs, Napoleons, Ladyfingers.To what thanks do I owe these lovelies?

Fall is deep in the throes of it's color soon to lose it's leaves.  How sad, it never sticks around long enough to suit me.   It's as pretty to me as the spring time, in reverse. God's handiwork painting the leaves in a variety of shades and colors and as detailed as the snowflakes in the winter. How I love it, and I wish I lived up north during this time of year.   I love the

Oh this is shameful, I had good intentions of keeping up with my blog… just know if my mind could write the postings I would've been caught up. What's exciting……… well…………. I mopped the kitchen floor…………...I finished some postings for a business then I  finished a poster for a party.   I made these amazing Peanut Butter Bars for my church coffee hour.

Here we are in July, humid weather, our first hurricane-Arhur- but I must say, it's getting better and better. Swimming is one way to make the hot humid weather better, and I've been taking advantage of it, . How people vacation here to stand in long lines in Mickeyworld is beyond me…I'd choose the lazy river, or reclining in my own cabana watching the football while sipping on a cool one

And the winner is…………. Those are the words you want to hear after entering any kind of contest.  This past weekend through a  oak and hickory smoke and rainy drizzly hazy day,  those words were longed for as I sat through the chill treating the camera like a baby to shoot photos of chicken, ribs, pork, and brisket.  Every hour on the hour turn in times were as exact as

Smoked Ribs on the Grill I’ve been unofficially informed of neglecting my duties/ posting on my blog.  I learned if you neglect, you lose your place. Goodness knows, I didn’t want that to happen, actually it did happen, I’ve dropped lower than a bikini on spring break Suldog, thanks for keeping me in line.  J  This weekend, I’ll be doing a photo shoot for a client who has

I'm back, who knows for how long, but I"m here  thanks to a blogging friend who shook the dust off the inside of my computer.  It's curiosity and nosiness that got me here......whatever works. I've had a chance to take care of personal matters, clean up  a little--- but of course there is always more to do and to focus on work in various forms.  Just the other day I started a

Okay I"m bored.  I'm bored with writing at the moment.  I can do really well, just like Seinfeld when I write about nothing, the problem is I have too much going on in my life, and it is something but for most it's nothing. When I'm not on my blog posting I seem to neglect the other blogs I like to read and for those of you...and I'm sure you know who you are...I'm sorry. I'm trying to

Do you know people who look like birds and insects and your family pet?  What about your thumb? Have you noticed the resemblance of your ole' Aunt Louise? ha!  I used to make my comb sound like an orchestra and my fingers dance, twirling and swirling across the "stage". Amazing isn't it what your imagination can conjure up, I suppose that's why kids have such a good time and seem to be

I haven't been procrastinating or dragging my feet with posting--really.  I just haven't felt like it nor have I felt as if I've had any thing worthy of posting.  In the last so many years I seem to be repeating myself. BUT the only good thing at this age and for others of the same is when I do..it seems like new NEWS.  HA! Be that as it may I have tried to put my focus on getting

I'm dragging my feet in the posting department and I made a promise to myself I wouldn't do that.  BUT I've been so busy with all kinds of projects and things happening I had to let something go.  Sometimes airing my dirty laundry is a not what I want to write about...but no matter. So, here is something that is positive and to the point. We've all heard about the tornadoes in

I've been thinking of half a dozens 'isms to grind.  From coffee to Rated X..wow..and we must not forget the nose as well. I'm on a mad dash to cash.  Leaving school is like leaving your favorite.  Doesn't matter what, just your favorite.  As much as I rushed and worked and bellyached to hurry up and git.  It seems to me it was a far better spot to be in than figuring

My niece and niecette are about to leave tomorrow.   It was nice to see them, it's been 4 years since,and it's time to get on with it. There is much to do next week, but first things first---by making this weekend count------.resting. The weather....dear Florida.....has been rainy every dang day.  Messing up plans, shortening days of good intentions. Went to the beach on Tuesday, it

Dove ads.   How nice  for a company to  notice that "we" aren't all alike. Tall, short, a little more round, and a little less, etc. , we don't come from a mold nor does one size fit all. While growing up, I worried  over every spot and blemish, every protrusion of fat or lack thereof,  especially on the important womanly parts.  I didn't think anyone would

I want to lift up in acknowledgement and prayer, to all those who suffered from  the goings on concerning the bombing at the Boston Marathon.   I don't want to focus on the pathetic ones who caused the wreckage of life and limbs.     I d like to direct you to one account from a fellow blogger and his wife who experienced this first hand.    I'm sure he

The other day while I was checking out some websites for research,  I found this one then ( Click on interactive)  that blew me away. Not at first but further into it did.   I shared it with a number of people who I knew or I hoped would appreciate this type of "project". And the consensus so far is they all did, those that have seen it. I prefaced it by saying:  It's
