High flying and loud

Ancient Passage, Monemvasai, Greece

This is intriguing. So many tales it could tell!

That’s just the way it is!

Things are a little different now, but in my youth it was a different story. Don’t get me wrong, we had fun because we didn’t know that life could be any different than it was. We lived 8 miles from my school; the bus picked us up after a mile hike. As the “young ladies”Continue reading “That’s just the way it is!”

Thoughts From Inside A Crumbling Society Vol. II

Stop Laughing!

Some days it doesn’t pay to get out of bed! Yesterday was one of those days. It started out great, but things went down hill after I posted my blog and answered my emails. Remember I mentioned I was going to cut my hair? Well, the best laid plans was the theme of the restContinue reading “Stop Laughing!”

It’s Monday!

Enough said, no one loves Monday! It’s okay with me, it is the second day of my week. Laundry was done yesterday, and today it is smooth sailing. Today, I plan to get one of my books uploaded and make it live for sale! It is the sequel to Murder on Lake Haverly. I haveContinue reading “It’s Monday!”

This looks good! I assume the meat is beef? And wrapped in flatbread?

M&Ms vs Skittles – Fight!

OMG! This looks like fun!

Please Forgive me!

I know us writers are supposed to be able to do everything fast and accurate, but once in a while we need to re-group. I try to post every day, but life interferes. This week-end we spent cleaning Miranda, and getting a new book ready to publish. Miranda has been in storage and needs aContinue reading “Please Forgive me!”

Lunar Year of the Ox ~ Detail

He or she certainly looks fierce enough to melt show! Amazing!

Mirante do Inferno, Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos, Brazil

When I first looked at this I saw white splashing water, then I realized it was either fog or clouds. Beautiful!

Cake

This looks suspiciously like gingerbread or carrot, but the pecans!

Today’s Pictures: 24 Feb 21

It is interesting that it will only let me reblog after I post. Okay, but interesting.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if life was this easy?

You see something that you want and feel you need, like beauty, brains, or success, and you just have to pick it off the tree of life? Unfortunately, life is not like that!  It appears that some people have the Midas touch, and everything they touch turns to gold.  Others struggle their whole lives, andContinue reading “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if life was this easy?”

An Old Farmer’s Advice

Us modern people could pay attention to some of these axioms; Keep skunks and bankers at a distance! Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong! Life is simpler when you plow around the stump! A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere Tractor! Words that soak into your ears are whisperedContinue reading “An Old Farmer’s Advice”

Fool your guests with this mock apple pie that can be made with saltines. Break them into pieces, pile them into a waiting crust and top with a lemon-infused syrup that magically makes the crackers taste like apples.

If you say so! I have heard of this many times, but have never seen it successfully done. It looks like the real thing. I have never heard of Lemon infused syrup, so maybe that is the ticket. If anyone tries it, blog your success.

Noodle Squash and Shrimp Spring Rolls

Interesting combination. I am from Maine and love all seafood.

One that loves to bathe his newborn babies!

Good Morning!

Some words of wisdom to help you get through your day! “Never miss a good chance to shut-up!” “Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement” “Lettin’ the cat otta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.” This one refers to politicians, I think. You tellContinue reading “Good Morning!”
