Where Was I?

This morning I woke up and talked on the phone with my husband, as usual. He said, “Hey, you didn’t blog yesterday.” I sat there shocked. He was right. I wrote the title for yesterday’s blog at the concert on Saturday night, saved it to remind me what I was thinking, and yesterday never wrote . . . → Read More: Where Was I?

Tomatoes, Red & Yellow

My husband has loved gardening all our married life. Me, not so much. The garden looks beautiful when he first puts it in. Rich, brown, soft tilled soil. Straight rows marked with white string. Plots and squares all organized and pleasing for my mind to look at. Since he is not here during the week, . . . → Read More: Tomatoes, Red & Yellow

The Clock Tics

Tonight is filled with more “Joie de vivre!”. My husband and I went to the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset to see the Creedence Clearwater Revisited show. We came up earlier today and spent the late afternoon in a charming Irish pub. Wine and food were excellent. (Grilled chicken salad sandwich – made with . . . → Read More: The Clock Tics

Joie de vivre!

I cannot again tell you how much the book I reviewed last night is changing my life. “Bonjour, Happiness” has just got me so into living in the moment and finding happiness in the thing I’m doing and the people I’m hanging with at the moment.

Tonight has been magical. My daughter and her . . . → Read More: Joie de vivre!

Some Days

Some days are meant to be written and talked about, but some days are just meant to be lived and enjoyed. Today was one of the latter.

And so, as another day at Fenway goes by, such fun with hubby, daughter and her friend, and…I have written…just a little.

Be nice…please . . . → Read More: Some Days

Maybe Today?

The saga of the S’up continues. This morning at 10 am the sun was warm and prominent. I wandered out to the garden, where my husband was tying up tomato plants and told him I want to get the paddle board today. The girls were on board (no pun intended) and ready to do it. . . . → Read More: Maybe Today?

Not Always

Today my girls and their friends were here and a beach day and a paddle board were on the docket. One thing that wasn’t on the docket was the overcast weather. Even though it was muggy, storms threatened at every hour and due to the absence of sun, we rescheduled the paddle boarding for tomorrow. . . . → Read More: Not Always

Lately, It IS the Little Things

Today was a busy day. My daughter arrived late last night and she still hasn’t seen me. When she called to say she was coming early, she told me not to worry about my “prayer ladies” and my “writing ladies” and my yoga. She said to just go about my business and she’ll be fine. . . . → Read More: Lately, It IS the Little Things

Just …A Quiet, Pensive Day

Today was a quiet day, without a lot of the usual hustle n’ bustle of household upkeep. Watching the aftermath of Aurora on Sunday Morning, and the taking down of Jo Pa’s statue, just set a pensive tone for the day.

In the afternoon my husband and I went down to the canal and . . . → Read More: Just …A Quiet, Pensive Day

Aurora

Once again I sit here stunned at yet another shooting. The theater shooting yesterday in Colorado is hitting everyone hard today. Watching that mother talk about waking up and knowing something was wrong with her daughter, texting her, the daughter telling her she’s fine and to go back to sleep, and then waking to the . . . → Read More: Aurora
