I have been hanging my clothes out on the line. I love the smell of the laundry when it comes in from hanging on the line! They just can't bottle the stuff, ya know ( Read more... )

I have the latest thing in green laundry! It uses solar power only, and works like a charm! Best thing is, it's cheap to buy! Yup! Exactly two whole dollars will provide you with everything you need for this little gem! Yup, it's a clothesline! The dryer element died. Sigh. (I also forgot why I used to use Downy. Now, I remember!)

This weekend I got to see Shrek the Forever After. The premise is a familiar one- Shrek is tired of being something he preceives other than himself and he wants his 'old life' back.

School was closed that day so that we could watch the first space flight from our own tv's. My family, particularly my father, was all excited about it and the whole family ( Read more... )

Today's writer's block asked what is the best movie you have seen so far this year. What an impossible question! I admit, I have seen more movies in the past six months than I have in the past six years. Between Netflix and going to the theater, I have seen quite a few ( Read more... )

There lives in my memory a snapshot of the short hall in my grandmother's house. My grandmother's house was a house of treasures- In the diningroom was a bookcase that reached to the ceiling and wide as the wall behind the table, full of books. On the wall behind the telephone was quotes that my grandmother had collected over the years, and in the ( Read more... )

I have flown many times in my lifetime. I have flown on jet airliners and military planes, but nothing gives me the sensation of being suspended in the air like a small private plane ( Read more... )

I must be up too early. The clock says 7 am, but it's still dark. I normally don't get up until the sun comes up ( Read more... )
