Something to Look At

marcyaz @Marcyaz (35316) • United States 17 May 16

On one of my day trips I saw this house and thought it was something a little different and you might like to see it and the Architectural design of the house. I really like the steps leading up to the house as it makes the...

Sheila Brown I love this house! I like the steps too and the big porch. It has lots of big windows too. Their grass is beautiful but I would really hate to have to mow it on that incline! I can tell it has more rooms than I would want to have to clean!

My Topics Are a Bit Boring Lately

Jillybean1222 @jillybean1222 (6407) 24 May 16

I'm here to say it again... yes, AGAIN! I'm tired!!!!! I seem to write about that often. Today, however, I feel even more so than usual. I was about to say I don't know why, but I guess I do. First of all, I woke about an...

Sheila Brown I have felt tired a lot lately too. I think it is due to the rainy weather and the fact that my allergies have been so bad. I was on the couch all day yesterday, I really think I have sinus infection now and probably should go to the doc and get that horrible...

Hard to Say Goodbye

Betty Belekis @BettyB (4117) • Summerville, South Carolina 19 May 16

The last couple of weeks have been sweet, but hard. I have five more days of school with the kids and seven more with my fellow teachers. Some I will continue to see, but some of the casual friends will drift away. I knew the...

Sheila Brown It is hard to say good bye to people you have made friends with. One of the ladies that retired from the Department of Human Services here, where I worked for 15 years, has started a retirement luncheon once a month. I try to go to that when I can. Maybe...

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 23 May 16

Well, of course he does. He has next Monday off for Memorial Day and I have to work. Maybe he thinks I can get the day off. Well easier said than done. I am sure there will be many that will call in for the day. Healthcare...

Never Dance In A Small Boat

Jabo @jaboUK (64354) • United Kingdom 23 May 16

My father-in-law was an Irish jockey known as 'Mad Mick' who was full of quaint sayings. Try to imagine the following said in a thick Irish accent. 1. When asked if he wanted another drink - "To be sure I do, a bird never flew on...

Earlier Than Usual For My Walk

Marlina @marlina (154131) • Canada 22 May 16

This morning I have decided to change my routine a bit and go for my little walk earlier than usual. Now I look at the clock and it's almost 10 and I am so happy that my walk is behind me. It is supposed to be a gorgeous day and...

Sheila Brown I used to go walking every morning, but lately I haven't been keeping up my routine. It really helps to give me a better start to the day. I would work in my flower beds all day every day, if I could! :)

Tomorrow I Will Know More

Marlina @marlina (154131) • Canada 23 May 16

Yes, tomorrow morning at 11:30 I will know more about the state of my cataracts, according to that specialist I am seeing. Personally I think they are ready for surgery but he might be of a different opinion. My own eye doctor...

Another Party and Another Beautiful Tree

Judy Evans @JudyEv (341824) • Rockingham, Australia 19 May 16

Are you tired of reading about trees yet? After my three posts on boabs, you might prefer a change. But I had to share this incredible photo of Vince's, taken at the Golden Valley Tree Farm in Balingup, Western Australia, not too...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (341824) • Rockingham, Australia 18 May 16

This third post on boab trees showcases the Wyndham Prison Tree which is situated just south of Wyndham. It was once known as the 'Hillgrove Lockup'. According to Wikipedia, troopers in the 1890s noticed holes in the upper...

Sheila Brown That bothers me too! I sent one of my daughter in laws an email and never heard back from her. I asked my son if she said anything about getting my email and he said she did get it. So, I am done waiting for a reply! Manners seem to be a thing of the past!

Not Enough Action Here

Marlina @marlina (154131) • Canada 21 May 16

I am very disappointed right now for the lack of action here at Mylot. There are very few new content and lots of it is awfully boring. I have the suspicion that lots of the users here have gone to check out some greener...

Sheila Brown I haven't been spending as much time here as there is so much to do now that spring is here. Working in my flowerbeds, mowing, and tending the garden is taking up a lot of my time.

Happy Saturday

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (83074) • United States 21 May 16

It's an overcast Saturday here in my little corner of the myLot world. We're supposed to get showers throughout the day which means either a lazy relaxing day or all I'll hear is moaning and groaning that the grandkids are bored....

Sheila Brown Yesterday was a bit cloudy and a little windy, but warm and an overall nice day. Hubby was gone racing, so I had the house to myself. I took a nap around noon as I wasn't feeling well. Today looks like it will be about the same. I love it when my grandkids...

My son took this photo of Doodles on our red silk chair. He used his claws and climbed up the back of it first. He is not allowed in my living room or dining room unsupervised. I was elsewhere in the house, showing our guests...
