We had an interesting 'distraction' yesterday! We heard lots of car horns and thought there must be a car problem somewhere, like a stalled truck clogging traffic, but when I went to the door, I soon realized it was a parade of people on their way to (or from?) a graduation ceremony!! There were some cars, but also several large 'flatbed' trucks, ( Read more... )

I'm so thankful for Public Libraries!! I could never afford to buy all the books I read!! I have been an avid reader since I was first learning to read in grade school! I remember often getting in trouble for "not knowing my place" when called on to read aloud, and that was because I was always 'reading ahead' of the much slower students in the ( Read more... )

I'm ( Read more... )

YAY!!  I've figured out what I'll cook for supper, AND, I have all the ingredients!!  It will be Fish and Corn chowder!!  The last time I wanted to make it, I had the ffish  chowder but not the corn. Then I had the fish and the corn but was almost out of milk, an important ingredient! Now I have all three!! If you are interested, here is the ' ( Read more... )

Yesterday we had a fun surprise!! We heard a lot of honking horns and looked outside to see a 'parade'! I went out and sat on the stairs and soon realized it was graduates of Dedham High who were apparently on their way to their graduation ceremony! Some were in cars, with waving banners and streamers from their side windows . They were followed by ( Read more... )

We have blue sky and sun, but I have been battling tiny ants again. They were first in my sink, now there are still a few on my stove-black ants on a black surface, and hard to spot! There are definitly fewer today than there were yesterday, so I AM making progress!     Today I used one of my authentic Japanese fans and explored some nice memories ( Read more... )

Good morning friends! Hubby went out to shop before I ever woke up, the "new normal", and Son went out to work just a few minutes ago,so I have the TV on to my music (Oldies) from Australia and the dishwasher is going.,while I'm here in the "new room",being cheered by sun and blue sky and leafy trees and my big full cup of tea! Nothing much 'new' ( Read more... )

good morning friends!  Hubby didn't sleep well and has gone back to bed! That's very unusual! I'm glad he knows enough to do that, and not be on the 'edge of grouchy' all day! Son has gone to work-they are doing an 'every other day' schedule, since it's a huge bank and they don't want to close, but this way,they can give their workers more 'space' ( Read more... )

Well, both Hubby and son have gone to work, so here I am on LJ!! I'm all in BLACK today!! No one will recognize me!!LOL! I have light weight black slacks that are new; I finally finished hemming them yesterday, after cutting off several inches, as my legs are not terribly long! It is warm today, so I have on a top that is also black, and has a ' ( Read more... )
