Recently, I was reminded of a remark that my best friend's father made one day when we were swooning over some guy. Mr. Bubba said,"There's a difference between a real man and a guy in a pair of pants!" Of course, being two teenage girls, we laughed at him and never missed a beat in... Continue Reading →
I love being around my grandchildren, for children are still allowed to react to the nonsense in life, and it is such fun listening to them relate their experiences. I admit that sometimes I don't fully know what they are talking about, especially when they are telling a funny story, because they are laughing and... Continue Reading →
I fell in love with football when I was about 11 years old, and one of my earliest dreams was to play pro football with the big boys. I did not realize at the time that girls were not allowed to play the game. I had a beloved male cousin who played for the local... Continue Reading →
My grandson leaves Tuesday for six days in Croatia, three days in London, one day in Ibiza (don't even know where that is!) and three days on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, I think. He sent me a text on Friday asking if he should go to the Amalfi Coast or Cannes. I told him... Continue Reading →

As I looked at the prompts for today, the word, lullaby, jumped out at me, for no one ever sang me to sleep with a lullaby. I did not even know any lullabies until I was an adult. Someone told me about Rock-a-Bye Baby as a means to get my infant to sleep. But, when... Continue Reading →
I find it amazing that the people who are most in touch with themselves, who are least likely to worry about what others think of them, and who are not afraid to flout others' expectations of them, are considered to be eccentric, meaning unconventional and slightly strange in their views and behavior. If they are... Continue Reading →
I admit that I don't get nearly as much done each day as I could, mostly because I seem to need to know what is new on Yahoo all through the day. I am not talking about once an hour. Multiple times an hour I am on my I-Pad or computer reading the latest news.... Continue Reading →
Most women seek a man who will lavish gold and diamonds upon them, and I was no different when I was younger. Â But, as I have aged, I have found that a man who keeps me laughing, someone with a great sense of humor and fun, is more precious than gold or diamonds. I hate... Continue Reading →
