SEPTEMBER SELECTIONS – 2019
Well, so much is going on the the USA, in England, and in France, I don’t know where to start! Plus, I “overdid” this week and have exhausted my poor body by walking 3.5 miles (not kilometers) on Thursday and 2.9 miles yesterday. I did it, but I am here to tell you that IContinue reading “SEPTEMBER SELECTIONS – 2019”
ENLARGE YOUR UNIVERSE – – – SAY “YES!
***Cliché’s have always been a part of my vocabulary. Why? Because Daddy was ALWAYS saying a cliché, or a catchy slogan, or a joke, or a byline, or a ….. You get the picture. One of his favorites was “The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence.” And “Go to it!”,Continue reading “ENLARGE YOUR UNIVERSE – – – SAY “YES!”

AUGUST!!
Has anyone written a song about August? At the moment, I cannot recall one. I don’t know how I feel about August. This is not new news. It has never been a month that I look forward to – like June. Or September. Or October. Or April. And, now, it causes me much angst. ItContinue reading “AUGUST!!”
