Is it a Blog or a Blab?


HahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!

This was a question posed to me today!

Let me set up the story…

220 Minus Your Age


As an adult the highest your pulse rate should go up is figured at 220 minus your age.

This fact (?) was just stated on last week’s episode of Bones that I’m just now watching – thank you DVR.

I enjoy watching Bones…not the blood and gore part, but there’s something fascinating to me about how they figure out who committed the murder.

Must be a flashback to my days of watching Murder, She Wrote with my Dad.  Which explains why I still love watching that show.

Angela Lansbury is my hero.  She lived this wonderful life teaching, and then reinvented herself after her husband passed away and Walaa! a mystery writer was born.  Of course, somewhere along the line murders started showing up in her life…weekly it seems if we go by the show’s schedule.  I always thought to myself…”Who on earth would want to be this woman’s friend – someone is always dying around her!”

It’s All About You!


Enough about me…

I want this post to be all about you!

We all have stories to share…sad stories, overcoming hardship stories, funny stories, stories of faith, stories of triumph.

It’s your turn to tell a story, share a laugh, or just tell me where you’re from – scroll down to the Comments box and just start writing!

You pick the topic and decide how much you’d like to write…one sentence or two… or two dozen.  Go for it!

I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!

Have a GREAT day!

My Favorite Things…


Yes, I am singing Julie Andrews version…”These are a few of my favorite things…”.

I just loved that movie.

For a multitude of reasons, really.  Here’s just a few…

#1…my sister Carol brought me to see it when it was released and it was the first movie I’d ever gone to in a theater!

#2…the singing….oh the singing…to be so carefree!  Of course, I was really young and the levity of the story didn’t sink in, I was too enthralled by the singing!

#3…the scenery…mansions and mountains and cobblestone streets!

It’s all so lovely.  Julie Andrews is lovely.  They made life feel lovely.

Which brings me to a few of MY favorite things (besides the movie, that is): Read more
