So, it wouldn’t be a 10 on the 10th if I didn’t talk about the weather, right? Let’s just say it’s been quite nice for November. We did have snow flurries on Halloween, but that isn’t unusual. All of the annuals are gone except for the ferns. I think I’m going to keep them and …
Once a blogger… A few weeks ago, I was at a ladies’ retreat for my church. I know I say it all the time, but I truly am not a church lady. It’s just hard to meet other women of a certain age when you move at another certain age. But, I digress. The retreat …
I was not going to talk about the weather, I promise. I wasn’t, but then it changed so dramatically. Last Monday, we had the air conditioning on. Nigel turned the furnace on Thursday or Friday…just to see if it was working! We have had very cool days in the 50s (10C) and lows in the …
Did you ever wonder why October wouldn’t be the eighth month? I mean octo- means eight, right? Just like our friend, September, October once had a different spot in the calendar. The Roman calendar didn’t include January and February. Once they were added, October became the tenth month, but no one bothered to change the …
I am not going to talk about the weather. I am not going to talk about the weather. I am not going to talk about the weather. OK, I am but just a little. Last month, I was bragging about our lush green grass. Well, that has definitely changed! It’s been hot and dry here …
Sue, from Women Living Well after 50, has written a few posts about keeping your sparkle going. She is such a talented and informed writer. I hope you’ll check her out. The gist of her posts is we sometimes lose our sparkle because life intrudes. And, I’m here to tell you life has certainly intruded …
10 on the 10th… Did you know September was once the seventh month? September comes from the Latin meaning seven. The Roman calendar didn’t include January and February. Once they were added, September became the ninth month. That is a really good thing because September has nine letters as well as being the month with …
Has this been the strangest summer (Northern Hemisphere, of course), weather-wise? I know some of you are sweltering; some of you are freezing, and some of you have had way too much rain. We started off the summer with lots and lots of dry hot days. I was really worried about our grass and newly …
You know, coming up with titles is hard. There’s that SEO to worry about as well as trying to interest readers. Anyway, I like matchy matchy things and usually wear some version of it all the time. It might be my earrings match my shoes, or my shirt matches my bracelet. It just makes sense …
10 on the 10th… Would you believe two of my three grands went back to school this week? The youngest will begin next week! I know, I know! You’re all going to think, “Well, when I went to school, I had to walk uphill both ways through three feet of snow!” But, actually, when I …
