NoJoMo Day 8 in The Long and Winding Road
Day Eight: What’s the best memory you have before age 15? Hmmm. How to choose “the best” memory? I’m fortunate to have at least several in the competition here. I also have some pretty bad mem...
NoJoMo Day 7 in The Long and Winding Road
Day Seven: What do you consider to be your strongest characteristics? While “strongest characteristics” aren’t necessarily “best or most admirable characteristics” that is how I will interpret it...
NoJoMo Day 6 in The Long and Winding Road
Day Six: What do you consider to be your biggest character flaws? Wow. This one requires a little bit of thought. I have a lot of flaws, because I’m human. So, let me count the ways. I think o...
NoJoMo Day 5 in The Long and Winding Road
Day Five: What are your favorite comfort foods? This is a bit of a challenge for me to answer, because I’ve been transitioning away from my old way of eating and into healthy choices, no eating b...
NoJoMo - Day 4 in The Long and Winding Road
Day Four: What was the last vacation you took? Well this is one that I can respond to with enthusiasm. A few months ago I went to Iceland with my daughter, son-in-law and then-14 month old grand...
NoJoMo 2015 - Day 3 in The Long and Winding Road
Describe the last time you danced. I know it’s been way too long since I danced. The last time I remember, was at my daughter’s wedding in 2006. What a fabulous day that was! But a lot of the ...
Nov. 2 - NoJoMo Day 2 in The Long and Winding Road
Day Two: What was the last thought you had before falling asleep last night? I really don’t remember. I listen to my hypnosis MP3 as I’m falling asleep so it was probably something along the lin...
NoJoMo 2015 - Day 1 in The Long and Winding Road
I’ve never participated in this before, nor have I ever done a survey on PB or OD. Just not really my thing. To be honest, I rarely read surveys that other people do, either. It’s not that I d...
House in chaos, Mother's Day, and more in Vacations 2015
The house is really in chaos because of the kitchen reno. My microwave is in my bedroom, along with a lot of other stuff from the kitchen, including the chairs that go with the dining room table...
The sun sets on this vacation! in Vacations 2015
Note: Written early this morning, saved as a draft so I could finish it when I got home). It’s 5:49 a.m. and I’m ready to go. Michael and I agreed we’d each get up around 6:00 with a goal of hi...
Vacation Mode/Perspective in Vacations 2015
At work, we talk about how you really need two weeks of vacation to completely decompress and relax. It’s so true. Here we are on Day Five of our vacation and I feel like we are just finally re...
Rainbows and puppies in Vacations 2015
Yesterday was, by design, a very lazy day. It’s hard to let go of the notion that we have to “go” and “do” rather than just “be.” My trip to Iceland at the end of this month will definitely be ...
Cinco de Mayo at the beach in Vacations 2015
If I was at work today, some of my friends and I would probably go to a Mexican restaurant for lunch, or someone would organize a Cinco de Mayo happy hour. I know that several of my neighbors ar...
Pictures - Inside in Vacations 2015
Now here are some pictures I’ve taken inside the house. There are so many neat things about this house that I haven’t taken pictures of yet (at least, not this time around) but I’ll get around t...
Pictures - The Beach in Vacations 2015
Here are some pictures we’ve taken outside in the 43-odd hours we’ve been here at the beach house so far. One corner of our front deck: Another corner of the deck: Sunset. I have about 1,000 ...
The perfect kind of Monday in Vacations 2015
A Monday when you’re on vacation, that is. I’m trying to avoid the “real world” as much as possible on this vacation. No TV. No newspapers. Although I can’t resist at least checking the headl...
If anyone knows "Saving Barbie" in The Long and Winding Road
One of my friends here on PB is Saving Barbie. She’s had a lot of health issues and she hasn’t written in a few weeks, which isn’t like her. I’m worried about her. If anybody knows her or has ...
Tortilla Soup Recipe (and a bonus picture) in The Long and Winding Road
A couple of people asked me for the tortilla soup recipe so I typed it out here last night, and then lost my WiFi connection, and lost the entry. I was too tired to retype it, but I promised I’d...
It doesn't compute in The Long and Winding Road
Have had computer issues the past few days. Hope to be back by the weekend. Just in case you missed me!
Deleted! in The Long and Winding Road
I wasn't feeling all that sentimental about the demise of Open Diary -- I've been cross-posting between here and there for awhile now. Yesterday I downloaded my diary, one year at a time. I wan...
Money Bleed in The Long and Winding Road
I've spent WAY too much money in the last few weeks. My budget and all my good intentions have been shot to hell. I bought a patio umbrella, and a stand for it, for the balcony. I sure wish I'...
Friday Smiles in The Long and Winding Road
I find myself smiling a lot this morning, not for any particular reason so I guess it's just the Friday mood. It's been a busy week -- didn't mean to go all week without writing (though I did tr...
Blah! in The Long and Winding Road
Intentions were good. Had a good entry going and then went to Photobucket, which I thought I was doing on a new Firefox tab, but I guess I was doing it on top of my Prosebook entry and I lost it...
Sunday Morning Tradition in The Long and Winding Road
Many of you know that my favorite way to start a Sunday morning is in bed with Bing curled up next to me (I'm so happy he's a sleepyhead dog and doesn't demand to be taken outside the minute we w...
Big happy sigh in The Long and Winding Road
Here I am again.... with so many good and trusted friends encouraging me to keep giving this place a chance, how could I resist? And now that I'm starting to understand the format, well, I have ...
