I have a long list in my mind of small tasks I have to get done. I have some larger ones I would also like. We had some frozen Chinese food for lunch--thawed and cooked of course. I was able to put leftovers away for next week...

I went to the office to check on the amount of my rent + utilities, and then went to Safeway to get the money orders for it. Talked for several minutes to a gal I knew in elementary school who has been working at that grocery...

If you’re keeping track, I’m up to four state parks in Florida (five total because Fort Morgan is a state park in Alabama). The first state park in Florida I hit was Big Lagoon State Park. Ooh, was that pretty. ...

I was kind of not feeling motivated or well earlier today. It was not lack of sleep. May have been pure laziness. I had a box of scalloped potatoes to fix, added onions and ham. I have been meaning to make an egg bake, and now...

Heather Echola It can be a lonesome sound, or disturbing if it is too close to home. I grew up listening to them at night when I visited my grandparents.

My desk window faces north. I am watching the sun stretch across the open field. The sunrise is to my right. Today feels rather springish, although I feel like it cannot possibly last. I will enjoy it while I can.

Heather Echola I hate that as well. The most I remember having that problem was with a laundry detergent when my kids were little. I am now always skeptical of a label that says "New and Improved" because often it is not improved.

Heather Echola Been there, done that with hubby. The thing is, the newer supposedly better blood thinners that they all push are still under patent. It is hard to find them for less than $500 per month. Blood thinners did not agree with hubby in the long run, so it is no...

Heather Echola I have heard it said that a good listening friendship is just as effective as anti depressants for some people. I knew Oreo, was not sure if she had passed or not. I am sorry about the other friend that seems to have abandoned ship.
