  • Future Travel Plans

    In the immediate future, we will be traveling to Lake George, NY for the annual Adirondack National Car Show.  We make this trip every year.  Lake George has become our second home.  The show brings in close to 20,000 cars or better.  Registration for this event sells out in less than 10 minutes once it…

  • Modern Society Needs Change

    Modern Society as we know it today is politically and financially driven.  People who are in a leadership role tend to abuse it for the power, greed and fortune.  Never once realizing it can come back to haunt them.  Karma!  Therefore, the change I would like to see is to restore our leadership to where…

  • Dream Thief

    2:30 am.  Night was eerily dark.  I looked out the window expecting to see something.  Nothing.  I am alone in the darkness seething with fury.  I was awakened by an alert on my phone.  It was my best friend telling me to look at the Best Seller’s list right away.  I’m awake now so I…

  • What Foods to Make

    What foods would you like to make? Ooh, this is a loaded prompt!  I love to cook and  bake.  I’m often exerimenting with new recipes and my husband loves to be the official taste tester.  I love making my favorite  pasta dishes.  Traditional spaghetti, lasagna, baked ziti and others.  I switch between frozen meatballs and…

  • Definitely the Dogs

    Dogs are my preference.  Don’t misunderstand, I love cats!  I grew up loving cats more than dogs.  However, when I moved in with my husband, I could no longer own a cat due to his allergies.  Dogs it was and still is.  Our first dog was a chocolate Cocker Spaniel.  Lady lived to be 12.5…

  • Simple Man

    In today’s writing assignment, we were to list 5 songs (soundtracks) that were pivotal in our lives. All five of these songs have a special meaning to me.  However, one that stands out the most is Simple Man.  The lyrics were moving; in that these words were pieces of advice that I wanted to share…

  • Lose Track of Time

    There are several things that can cause us to lose track of time.  First and foremost, would be social media use.  Our eyes are glued to the screens of our cellphone, scrolling through the social media feeds.  Some of us have accounts on several social media platforms.  Within these accounts, you could choose to play…

  • Walls of My Kitchen

    If the walls could talk.  What a tale they could tell after listening to the many conversations that were held at the kitchen table.  The kitchen table.  Guarding the secrets, squeaking to laugh with us.  The kitchen table is where it hosts the many gatherings over the years from everyday meals to the special holiday…

  • Small Town Visit

    In a writing class that I am doing, the prompt we were given was to writing about visiting a small town where it had one rule and the consequences of breaking the rule. This was my story. Visiting the small town of Constance Brie, I am in awe at such a cute and charming town. …

  • What bothers Me & Why

    The one thing that bothers me the most is why there seems to be no respect. No courtesy. No niceness. In today’s world, we are consumed with hatred, racism, and division. Violence stems from those three. Gone are the days where we knew and helped our neighbors and chatting with them over the fence or…
