Today

I have so many things to say. So many things going through my head. Pardon the rambling. First. My sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to the people affected in today’s tragedy.  I don’t know how these things happen. I…

Oh, The Places We Have Been

What is it about the places we used to live, that makes us go back and look at them? It’s something my mother does, each time she’s in Savannah, Georgia, her home town. It’s something my father used to do…

I Think It’s About Time

That some of these things became reality: A clothes folding machine. This can be the final cycle of my dryer, I don’t care. It’s the worst part of laundry. A pillow or pillowcase that stays cold. I’m sick of flipping…

Craft Store Oddities

A new Hobby Lobby opened near me today. This is exciting only in that my local Michaels is not one of the fancy stores; in fact, it’s pretty bad. I went to Hobby Lobby to see if there were any…

Are you a Taster or a Gambler?

I just got home from our local “farmer’s market” where I’ve lately been buying my produce for the week. I get a bag of cherries, then proceed to the bulk aisle. While I’m scooping some sushi style rice into my…

Why did I need a Referral?

We have a lovely HMO health insurance plan. We’re pretty healthy, so it’s fine. We pay a co-pay for the doctor and we get cheaper prescriptions. As long as it’s a prescription for a drug invented before 1970. Anyway, I’m…

Almost a Quart of Strawberries

I bought this “quart” of strawberries yesterday. It’s been a while since I’ve purchased a quart of strawberries. We’ve been getting the “bushel” from Costco. Since Robert’s away, I got a few less strawberries this time. I think I got…

Can You Hear Me, Sprint?

Guess what? Another Sprint “bill” in the mail. Again with the .08 credit. So now they’ve spent money and resources three times telling us “not to pay”. If only there was something they could do to catch these before they…
