In a strange connection of circumstance my DH foxglovehp and I are about to take our second long-ish (distance more than duration) road trip this month, after not having done much of any overnight travel in far too many years.  The trip next week is to see our daughter graduate BCT (what I still call Basic Training, aka Bootcamp for the Army).  I am covering ( Read more... )

I love to garden.  Over the past 2-ish years I have not gardened as much as I would have liked to.  Basically, DH deployed, DH came back, much remodeling was done, DH deployed again, my work schedule changed, blah blah.  Anyhow, we are all past that now and it is spring and there is gardening to be done ( Read more... )

For assorted reasons, I worked every day for the past two weeks. Wednesday and Thursday, I finally had some time off. It was nice. I ran some errands, finally had a chance to get my hair done, read a little, watched some tv and cooked with my honey ( Read more... )

I am not a great believer in the usefulness of New Year's resolutions. I believe in goals. Long term goals with related short-term goals marking the progress along the way. A resolution is something I leave to the U.N. (and we have all seen repeatedly how they make use of them ( Read more... )

Looking back over 2007, I realize it has been a far busier year than I seem to remember. This doesn't surprise me, really. I often think that not much happened and am surprised to discover upon review that there was a ton of stuff going on all the time. Fortunately, it seems to have been all good stuff, so what's not to like ( Read more... )
