Two years ago...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44733) • Staten Island, New York 10 May

On this day two years ago my dad passed away. He was only 70 years old. Everyone was shocked by the news when they found out. I never thought that my dad would die so young and that it would happen in the hospital of all...

MaddieMae So sorry for your loss. Grief has a way of sneaking up on you all the more on ugly weather days. I suffered a loss recently that has been very difficult so I truly understand. Respect the process and cry if you need to. Write letters to your loved one. Talk to...

My first stop in Mississippi today was in Tupelo. After some delicious BBQ chicken I went to see the birthplace of some guy who was born there…and Elves Presser or something like that. The Elvis Birthplace is a...

I am transcribing my mother’s diaries. I’ve written about it before but I’m going through them again more carefully, then will be gifting them to a nephew who is the only family member interested in them. Actually, my son in...

Four Walls @FourWalls (69129) • United States 5 Nov 23

On this beautiful, sunny, comfortable Sunday afternoon I found myself driving along the Natchez Trace Parkway. Suddenly, a sign jumped out at me: “Jackson Falls ahead.” You know me when it comes to waterfalls!! This was pretty...

What an unexpected blessing!

Amber @AmbiePam (94064) • United States 6 Nov 23

So today was a tough one, with the aftermath of a migraine. I had to go to the doctor though, and when I went to pick up my two prescriptions, I was dismayed to find out the cost was $52 (insurance only paid for one of them, not...

When I retired, I didn't realize it really meant I'd be re-tired

DW Davis @DWDavis (25805) • United States 19 Oct 23

When I retired from teaching, I knew it would mean plenty of time to write. I also thought it would mean plenty of time to relax. Somehow, I hadn't planned on working 8 to 10 hours a day writing, networking, promoting, and...

MaddieMae I have retired after a very long bout of covid. The transitioning back meant learning how to walk again and weening off of oxygen. Now that I am a year out after retiring I am starting to miss all those little conversations you have in the workplace. The days...

Ain’t This a Countdown: If You Ain’t Lovin’ (You Ain’t Livin’)

Four Walls @FourWalls (69129) • United States 16 Oct 23

This is the last die-hard country song for a couple of days. If it’ll make you feel better, seven of the top ten are NOT country. And, since this is a country song, we get a two-for-one special with the word...

MaddieMae Wow! I never heard that before. I have always loved Faron Young's Hello Walls just a tad better than Willie's but I think it's because I remember it playing on the radio when I was a little kid.

Time to Wash The Floor

paigea @paigea (36315) • Canada 12 Oct 23

Gosh, I am a procrastinator! I want to ease into retirement so I took today off to have lunch with Hubby and a friend. The lunch got canceled so I find myself with a free day at home to "catch up". It's 11:00 am and I have had...

Which do you like better?

Amber @AmbiePam (94064) • United States 11 Oct 23

Which of these vases do you like better (take out the fake flower component)? And, if you don’t like either, which do you dislike the least? The one that looks like a can is ceramic. I’ve never bought a vase before; I think...
