Today was Hotter than the Hinges of Hell, as my favorite Auntie likes to say. Of course that’s when I decided to plant a trunk-load of flowers in our previously bare entrance area. Sweat pouring off me, hair sticking attractively to the sides of my face, dirt shmears here and there about my body ~ [...]

After almost two weeks of exercise and semi-good eating (or so I thought), I gained five pounds. WHAT THE HECK???

With Gym and me, it’s always been an on and off relationship. Sometimes he makes me feel soooo good and other times I have to drag myself to our dates. Usually after a date with Gym, I am sweaty, disheveled and happy with a foolish grin on my face. Why did I deny myself this [...]

I went in to work today to discover I wasn’t on the schedule, so I took the time to visit with favorite customers that came in for lunch. We have great customers ~ always have glowing remarks for our food, God bless ‘em.
Husband wants to try selling baked goods & breakfast sandwiches in the morning [...]

I mowed the lawn, pruned and weeded gardens, did wash, cleaned some floors and swept the horizon with binoculars. What a good Hag am I.
I gives it a week before it all needs to be done again.

Yep, don’t know how all this time has floated under my blog boat ~ it’s August, for cryin’ out loud! I am waiting for the first few harbingers of Fall: the occasional cool night, the layered mist in the meadow in the early morning… BRING IT!
This summer so far has been an endless series of different [...]
