I’ll Miss You, Dear Friend

I like Diet Coke. Okay, that’s a lie….I love Diet Coke. I drink a lot of it, actually way too much. It’s not a healthy thing, and it’s pretty much what I drink morning until night. I’ve recently been adding in some juice, just so I get something else in me. Last night, I agreed [...]

Wynonna in Concert Last Night

Wynonna Judd was playing at the Keswick Theater last night. I’m a huge fan, let me state that right up front. This was my 5th time seeing Wynonna perform, and she- like always was amazing. Her voice is so strong and beautiful, she can rock it out and sing a classic like Ava Maria and [...]

Christmas Light Adventure

We went to see Christmas lights tonight. There’s a little farm that has a drive-thru light display. They charge $10 a car, and it’s about the length of a mile or two, and they have things like a santa jumping a ski jump, a christmas tractor, jumping reindeer and more. Last year was the first [...]

Dinner with Colleen

One of the neat things I got to do while in Florida was to have dinner with my friend Colleen. I missed the Vegas get together since I was doing Disney with my son the following week, so I was tickled that we could work out dinner plans. Other than that, the week was all [...]

Sitting Lottery Tickets

…"but Mom it’s money!" I have two lottery tickets sitting on my table. They are both winners, maybe for the sum of $7.00. I could easily swap them in, but I keep forgetting! My son is beside himself that I have $7.00 of "free money" laying there, and I’m not turning it in. I’m deciding [...]

How Many Miles Are You Driving?

This is a cool and interesting story. I’m not sure how I feel about it personally, with the possible outcome, but I heard about this and went uh-oh! Here’s my car. I love my car. We go everywhere together. This year we went out to Illinois, and we went down to North Carolina. We drove [...]

Take a Walk on the Quiet Side

We went walking on a trail yesterday. It was such a nice path. There’s a large trail up my way, where they took an old railroad track and turned it into a walking and bike riding path. It goes through a wooded path, and there are no cars on it. It runs for a couple [...]

Personal Guidance and Training

I’ve done it, yes sir, I’ve gone and done it. I hired a personal trainer for a short spell to help me get focused on getting my health in order. I don’t know what else to do, where to turn, or how to help myself at this point. I walk about 4x a week, sometimes [...]

Weird Al Yankovic Concert

My son is a big Weird Al Ynakovic fan. Coincidentally, my husband was on Ticketmaster looking for other things, and came across this. It turns out he was going to be in Wildwood, the same day we got there. He was over at the Wildwoods Convention Center. I couldn’t pass it up, since I knew [...]
