Art of War

Have you ever read The Art of War? It has many gems, valuable insight, things to ponder and it may just make you realize where you stand in this world. Bill feels that he was a fighter pilot in a former life, I was a Samurai warrior. We laugh and joke about this, laugh at ourselves, but at the end of the day, one…

Foliage, Leaves, Rakes

So, did you enjoy the colors of Fall this year while they were at their peak? Are you still enjoying the pops and bursts of color, when and where you can? I know I sure am enjoying what is left of all the colors before the next season’s palette comes in to play. If you have trees in your yard, have you been dealing…

The Ultimate McCartney Experience!

We have finally made it to this live show hosted at our beautiful Majestic Theatre in Downtown Chillicothe. Bill and I have been wanting to see this for years, then Covid, then cheer this season…and finally, FINALLY, things lined up and I purchased tickets last minute! So glad we are here enjoying this great music! My pictures are for fun, as I clearly need…

The End, The Beginning, The Growth

Brooke cheered her last game, last Friday night. She went out the way that she chose to, but not as she had hoped. Sadly, this is the story of heartbreak in life, when things don’t go as we hoped, wished, and were lead to believe. Reality sometimes teaches you hard lessons in life, but the bright side is, you learn and you grow. My…

Looking out my window

I woke up this morning, sweating profusely again, Bill was hot too. We opened all the windows downstairs, and the ones in our bedroom, hoping to welcome in the fall air and cool ourselves down. We noticed over the course of the next couple hours, that the air had really turned chilly, and was getting even cooler pretty quickly. At 10am, we had already…

Three dog night?

No, three dog nights are those super cold nights when the dogs need to pile up to stay warm. The windows are open, the thermostat reads 71…not cold at all. Which begs to answer, is this fall, is it October and almost November? Don’t get me wrong, I love warm fall days, but I feel a bit seasonally confused. Two nights in a row…

Some days

Sonny epitomizes how we all feel some days… Some days it is CoCo. A bit of nervous laughter. Maybe we are more like Berrie, tolerating CoCo. Perhaps we are like these two playing in the yard? Whatever your day is like, I hope you have at least one smile as big as Sonny’s!

A day in reflection…

Bill and I started our day by going to Lowe’s to get a fireplace gas log set. We are converting our wood fireplace in our sitting area to gas. We love this little area and I cannot wait to sit in front of the fire and warm my bones in the mornings and evenings! This lead us take a look at the changing trees…

Looking Stupid: How well do you do?

Listen, I am just going to put it out here…I often look stupid on purpose. Okay, so I didn’t really mean silly, or goofy, I truly mean stupid. I do this for many reasons, one of which is to get you to talk to me. I want you to tell me what you think. I want you to say what’s on your mind, I…

Breakfast: A New Struggle

I am a breakfast eater, always have been. Hunger pains and noises often wake me up in the middle of the night, or early hours of the morning. I look forward to a good breakfast, and often make that my biggest or best meal of the day. Here lately, I have been eating toast only for breakfast. Toast. While eating my toast, it dawned…
