LAUNDRY DAY

 

 
Monday – sorting – and washing laundry day .
 
Tuesday – washing and drying laundry day.
 
Wednesday – folding-and-putting-away – and more washing – laundry day.
 
Thursday – hero coming home from out-of-town business trip, thus more laundry, laundry day.
 
Friday – another sorting, wash/dry/fold and put-away laundry day.
 
Saturday…
 
What I want to know is, how did [...]

Corona 1, Robins 2

 
Came home from NC and discovered three little robin heads peeking from the nest under our front porch eaves.
 

 
Yesterday one decided to try his wings…
 
 
…and became a victim to the neighbor’s cat last night.   Hero tried to rescue it but, alas, the damage was done.
 
 
Just now I heard a clunk! on our front [...]

Six-day Riddle Solved

 
Though I flew home Monday, I’ve still been flying by the seat of my pants since we arrived.  I am not yet unpacked.  But, there are priorities, after all, so here’s the solution  to the Six-day Riddle (good guesses, by the way):
 
The photo was taken in Embera Drua, located on the Upper Chagres River in the Panama rainforest.  We reached [...]

Six-day Riddle

 

 
As I wrote in my last post, I’ll be traveling for the next several days.  So, I thought I’d leave you with a riddle to work on til I get back around the 2nd. 
 
I took this photo.  It’s untouched.  It’s the real deal.  Where is it?  What is it?

Memorial Day Birthday

 
      For most of my married life, my birthday has been lost in the shuffle of Memorial Day weekend.  Time and again it got overlooked because we were out of town or busy with other activities.  So my birthday has become basically a non-event.  Not that we didn’t acknowledge it, it’s just that it was never much of a [...]

Finding My Marbles

 

 
 
I think some of my marbles are missing.  So I’m taking some time off to find them. 
 
You can still reach me by leaving comments.  I’ll be checking my email from time to time and will see them there.  
 
I know I’m going to miss you.  And I may post a photo or short line once in [...]

Mid-day Reverie

 

 
It’s 1:14 p.m.  Mid-day.  Just stepped out onto our front porch to retrieve mail from our box across the street.  Mama robin is still vigilantly brooding in the nest she built under the eves of our front porch.  Last night she weathered quite a storm.  Thunder.  Lightening.  Wind gusts.  Rain.  Exceedingly patient, she is.
 
Strolling the sidewalk and down [...]

Timely Name Dropping

 
For a semi-Wordless Wednesday, I thought it would be fun to post this untouched photo for a little timely name dropping.  I found Dr. Oz to be a very kind, gracious man.   His wife, (not in photo) is adorable, and smart!
 
P.S.  No, I don’t watch Oprah.  I saw the headlines on the web about Dr. Oz’s new [...]

Perfect Conditions for An Air Show

 
          Couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions.  The “Wings Over Wayne” (county) Air Show was spectacular.  Sky was clear.  Temp was high 80s, sweat-soaked-clothing weather.  And the UVA/UVB rays served up a mess o’ southern vitamin D. 

          We did indeed slather on the SPF 30, over and over.  It worked great wherever we [...]

Lucky Gray-haired Ladies

 
I envy gray-haired women.  Seriously.  It’s not that I wish I had gray hair.  I already do.  Anyone who knows me has seen it  peeking periodically from my center part and my temples.  
 
But I envy those sisters whose hair is completely natural.  Uncolored.  They have no worries about maintaining dyed strands.  They’re totally free from the whole thing -competition, color, maintenance… 
 
My [...]
