Thinking back over the year, for scrapbooking purposes, I asked Jim what we did this year. As we thought back, and then I went to retrieve the pictures, I discovered we had both forgotten a major event we attended in April. How could we have forgotten that? Both us of! We do have a lot…

I walked by a photo frame of lyrics this morning – well I walk by it every morning since it hangs on my wall, and I thought it would be good to post as my BLOG this week. It is a song by Red Grammer (who we had the pleasure of working & dining with…

The theme for today is Thanksgiving. If I started to list all of the things I am thankful for, you might possibly witness me turn into a puddle of tears. I don’t think anyone wants that, so we won’t go there. I’m sure you know someone who is just complaining about life every time you talk…

I don’t know about you, but for me – Halloween through New Year’s Eve is a battle of the bulge. People sometimes comment on what a strong will-power I must have not to eat all the typical junk food. I confess, I don’t have a strong will-power… I just don’t have it in my house.…

Back in March, my husband and I had the privilege to be volunteers, with the USO NC, at the Viet Nam Veteran’s Welcome Home Ceremony in Charlotte, NC. Many of you know that I am an Army BRAT, and an Army mom, so my family is quite respectful of our military and their families, and…

I was at Walmart today and saw a man almost get hit by a car that was backing up. It was crazy. I don’t think either one was really paying attention to their surroundings. Yikes! I know the law says “pedestrians have the right-of-way,” but I would not walk out on a crosswalk into oncoming…

I’ve probably mentioned, before, that I am an Army BRAT. Have I ever mentioned that I am also a sloucher? Not slacker! Sloucher. (Is that a real word?) Let’s put it this way, my posture could be better, and I only have myself to blame. When I was younger, my dad would come up behind…

I came across a first, for me, this week. As I was heading into downtown Raleigh, for a meeting, I came to a major (like 5way, two lanes from each direction) intersection where the traffic light was out. There was no police officer directing traffic. Do you think I was a little nervous about sticking…
