just saw a GOOD one on a friend's page! A picture of Gueen Elizabeth and a bishop standing on a floor with black and white checkered tiles. The punch-line is "If the bishop moves forward, the Queen can take him"!!

We have another really hot day! It's only 10 AM and I already feel like I am 'cooking'! with both Hubby and son off to work, I just might strip down to undies and enjoy the large fan even more!!       Yesterday I learned someting interesting on TV!  In the 50's, there was a popular song about "the Green Door". "Green door, what's that secret you're ( Read more... )

Yay,I got my wish yesterday!! Hubby and I went to Houghton's Pond again yesterday and Hubby brought a beach chair and a book along and sat in some shade to watch and wait! I went in swimming and had a BALL!! It was so great!! I'd brought along a bag with my towel and shoes, and after my swim I walked up to the shady place where hubby was sitting. I ( Read more... )

Hubby and I went to walk around Houghton's Pond again yesterday! I love walking  in the woods and especially now that it's warmer and more fun to walk outdoors. It was fun to see lots of young kids at the beach, running in and out of the water. They were limiting the beach area to only kids and their parents, because of Covid 19, other wise, I ( Read more... )

It's odd how old songs and 'sayings' from younger days pop into my head at random times!! Some one of the programs we watched recently mentioned Mississippi and brought back this old 'ditty'; If Mississipi wore a New Jersey, what would Delaware? Idaho, Alaska.

Lots of music and reading this morning, as Hubby is at work. One of the songs I heard reminded me of early days of dating the wonderful guy who is now my Hubby!!  We were only dating for a short time, and a friend of mine asked me to go to a Celtics game with him and his buddy, as they had an extra ticket. I jumped at the chance! Then my Joe called ( Read more... )

An online friend reminded me of  another piece of my childhood! Though we grew up in a well developed suburb of Boston, we were fortunate to have "The Field", an undeveloped piece of property surrounded by houses and back yards on three sides, and a car dealership on the little 'hill' at the other end, which connected with a main street into Boston ( Read more... )

Good morning,friends!  A lovely summer day today,blue sky,fluffy clouds,and SUN!!  Hubby and son are both at work and I will be cooking tonight. I'm planning on a "Creamy Chicken" rice mix (Bear Creek brand) and I have baby carrots as a veggie 'side dish'. I'm going to check the fridge, as I'm thinking that we had some 'leftover' chicken from a  ( Read more... )

 My whole family agrees; Mom should never run out of tea!! Some days it feels like the only thing keeping my brain alive!! I love the SMELL of coffee, which Dad used to drink and Hubby enjoys, but I only drink it cold with lots of sugar- what we as kids sometimes had and we called it :Coffee Milkshake"!! And no 'dainty tea cups ' here, I have at ( Read more... )
