If there was ever a holiday that shows how much things have changed since I was a kid, it’s this one. Today is National Selfie Day. Oh sure, we tried taking the occasional selfie back in the day of film cameras. But we had NO idea of they would turn out until we finished the roll and got the pictures… Read more »
This might be seen as a odd day for me to celebrate because I HATE rhubarb. I mean I REALLY hate it. I don’t like the way it looks or the way it smells. I don’t even like the looks of the plant. It looks JUST like burdock plant. This is clearly God telling us to stay the HELL away… Read more »
My nephew Luke (shown with his band director Mr. Lawrence) is graduating from high school in two weeks. This is giving me ALL kinds of feels. I am super proud of him for all kinds of reasons. He is a good kid! He is going to be going to technical college in the fall to study welding. At least one… Read more »
My husband and I just got back from Planet ComiCon in Kansas City. We had a great time! My husband collects all kinds of autographs from professional wrestlers to actors and musicians. I’m not as interested in the hobby as he is, but sometimes there is someone at these shows I do get excited to meet. And, happily, most of… Read more »
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 »
