Things I learned today… August flew. Today, I got to read and have coffee from a new mug. I washed my hair and had a pretty good hair day. I saw a lot smiling faces come in to the studio. I cooked some really good chili. I’d say it was a great day. I getContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, August 31, 2021”

Thankful today.
It’s a beautiful day, and I’m thankful for a whole lot of stuff. What about y’all? I’ve got coffee…and a few groceries. I think we’re having chili for supper, because I’ve got the stuff to make that. My hubs is the freaking cutest. He’s smart and kind, too, and a good kisser. He’s hard workingContinue reading “Thankful today.”
Things I Learned Today / Monday, August 30, 2021
Things I learned today… Sometimes I walk in the house from work, and there’s music playing. Usually a throwback country song or Eric Church or maybe Gary Allan. Keith has cleaned the kitchen, and the dishwasher is humming. It smells good, and the lamps are ambient. He smiles at me. It feels like peace. I’mContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Monday, August 30, 2021”
Back to Reality!
It’s back to reality this morning, and my thoughts are scattered and garbled. I’m thinking of the hurricane ripping across Louisiana and parts of Mississippi. I’m thinking of the people in Afghanistan and our troops. I’m thinking of people who want to argue about vaccines and COVID, not to mention the people who are actuallyContinue reading “Back to Reality!”

Things I learned today… Having no real itinerary this weekend turned out great! This morning, we decided to go to Kennebunkport, then take this street, then that street. It was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Every time we visit a new place, one of us inevitably comments that we may neverContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Sunday, August 29, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Saturday, August 28, 2021
Things I learned today… The chips-to-dip ratio is never balanced at a restaurant. We love talking to people when we travel. Had we been able to spend another 10 minutes with these folks we met from NYC today, we would’ve probably become friends for life. Order the drink if it looks from the description likeContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Saturday, August 28, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Friday, August 27, 2021
Things I learned today… When I sit in a restaurant in Portland, Maine, watching Keith eat lobster on a random Friday, I think of all the time he’s on the greasy floor of a Buffalo Wild Wings, repairing damage done by roaches at a restaurant in East Memphis, or sweating in extreme temperatures on aContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Friday, August 27, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Thursday, August 25, 2021
12 Marines died today (could be more) in Afghanistan. I posted this on my personal Facebook page, and I’m posting it here this evening instead of my usual TILT… I’m hearing that Marines were killed today. That means some random man left his neighborhood on a suburban street or drove down a dirt road throughContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, August 25, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, August 25, 2021
Things I learned today… The first order placed on Amazon was for books and was from a buyer in Bulgaria in 1995. I didn’t know Amazon (and frankly, the internet) went back that far or even reached Bulgaria. The order was not paid for with a credit card either, it was a cash order. TheContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, August 25, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, August 24, 2021
Things I learned today… I saw someone on Facebook ask if blah, blah, blah was “aloud” on a group page. Aloud. Give me strength. Personal beliefs are interesting. We’ve all got them, right? I think if they’re properly based, we’re good. If not…meh…I don’t know. I’m damn firm in my convictions, so I’ve started lookingContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, August 24, 2021”
