Posted 3/26/20 Happy Thursday to all! What a week it has been! Cabin fever yet? Yup…me too. BUT, as I type, the early bird is already outside serenading the empty streets as if he is the lone flute in a parade. The squirrels are unpacking and gallivanting around, making all sorts of sounds in the…

Posted 3/25/20 (9 months until Christmas) (WARNING…THIS TOPIC and CLIP WILL BE DISTURBING TO MANY, MANY. OK…MOST. OK…ALL…but it needs to be discussed.) (Parental Discretion advised) Happy Hump Day, all! It is going to be a glorious 70+ day with lots of sun here in the Ozarks and 80+ tomorrow. (Sniff, sniff…where are you storms…I…

Posted 3/24/20 Howdy all! Welcome back to the table this stormy (in the Ozarks) day. Lots to say, not lots of time due to my job…sooooo….off we go! 😉 First a little quote by Red from Shawshank Redemption ReDementia: “There’s Not A Day Goes By I Don’t Feel Regret. Not because I’m in here, because…

Posted 3-16-20 “I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it….

Posted 3-13-20 Sadly, as SeniorAge disaster coordinator for our region, I will be booked the rest of the day and cannot finish the beginning of this series. This title is a hint of my next two week’s pieces that will start dropping over the weekend, Lord willin’. 🙂 Mom, as of yesterday at lunch, is…
