Today’s holiday gives me a bit of a chuckle. I don’t look like anyone in my family. When I was younger, one aunt and I looked quite a bit alike, but we don’t anymore. I look absolutely nothing like my sister. So I find it pretty funny when people tell me they know/ saw someone who looks “just like me”… Read more »
I have joked a lot about figuring out what “What I want to be when I grow up”. I was told a very long time ago that if you didn’t figure it out by the time you turn 50 you don’t have to. Well, I turned 50 in December. I guess I don’t have to figure anything out! But all… Read more »
Today is a fun one- for some of us anyway. Sometimes I feel a lot younger than 50. I still enjoy a lot of the same things I have in previous decades like Bon Jovi, pizza, and science shows like Mythbusters and How Its Made. I still get excited over Christmas. I still feel like I have a lot to… Read more »
Here’s one for the Gen Xers out there. Yes, many of us are now wearing bifocals. And there are plenty more folks who should, but are resisting for one reason or another. Regardless of your current age or eyewear situation, today is a great day to look up when your last eye exam was, and get one scheduled if it’s… Read more »
Last summer when Lilly first showed up on our doorstep a lot of people commented that Hershey sent her (For the newcomers, Hershey was my husband’s cat who passed on last winter at the age of 18 1/2 and the poster child for this post). Originally I laughed that off. Even if I did believe that a dearly departed cat… Read more »
Today is old Farmer’s day! There are a ton of reasons to thank farmers both young and old. But today we celebrate the older generation. I come from a long line of farmers. When I was a kid both my grandfathers were still farming along with a couple of my dad’s uncles. Now my dad and his brother are the… Read more »
This past week was a rough one for me, even though it saw a plan come to a completely successful completion. This past week all 3 of our surprise kittens went to wonderful forever homes. To say I got emotional would be an understatement. I knew it would be better for all involved parties if I was not at home… Read more »
Today is National Underwear Day! The organizers of this day suggest that to celebrate you should go about your daily routine in nothing but your clean underwear (yes, the “clean” part is specifically mentioned). If you are currently working from home I suppose this is pretty doable. However, those of us who are working around other humans, maybe just wear… Read more »
Just a couple weeks ago I introduced you to our newest cat, Lilly. We were 90% sure she was pregnant by then. I held off on saying anything about it because she was going to the vet on July 26th for a prenatal check and I wanted to make sure everything was OK before “going public”. Well. 2 things happened last… Read more »
I’ve probably written about this one before, but I don’t care. Today is French Fry Day! A day to celebrate that most lovely of potato creations! Whether you prefer yours with just salt, of if you like to dip yours in a chocolate shake, ketchup, ranch, or anything else, today is the day to enjoy a helping of your favorites!
